Bartali, The 45.72 metre flagship from Wider Yachts, is packed with technological innovation and the main deck master suite is a perfect example of this. To starboard, a broad window powers open automatically for fresh air under way but close that window and a much larger, marble-clad section of superstructure folds out. Touch the button for longer and teak decking slides out from under the floor and railings rise up.
It is an immaculate superyacht terrace with decking flush to the interior floor. It looks and feels like a permanent feature, not a temporary fix, and yet it’s easy enough for an owner to erect without the help of crew. Just as importantly, since it will be closed most of the time, when stowed you wouldn’t guess it was there.
