OceanWorld Group has officially joined the shareholding structure of Wider yachts holding company, Wider Luxembourg.
The agreement provides for an already planned gradual entry, to be completed by the end of 2026 and marks the beginning of a new phase of international expansion for the Italian shipyard.
The transaction, which has been finalised through a capital increase entirely subscribed by OceanWorld, is aimed at providing new financial resources to support Wider’s industrial plan, geared towards increasing the brand’s internationalisation and expanding the product range.
“The entry of OceanWorld into Wider’s capital is a fundamental moment that certifies the value of our vision, as it is not just a financial partnership, but a synergy of intents,” said Marcello Maggi, board member of Wider Luxembourg.
Benchmark in luxury yachting
“OceanWorld is a partner that firmly believes in our growth path and the uniqueness of our products.”
Lydia Pascarelli, CEO of OceanWorld Group, added: “We are excited to join Wider and contribute to its ongoing growth.
“We have closely followed the shipyard’s evolution and look forward to supporting the brand’s global development. We believe Wider is well positioned to become a benchmark in luxury yachting.”
The shipyard’s industrial plan includes further development of its range and the expansion of its global sales network. The yard points out that while it is keeping firm roots in the Marche region it is also looking towards other main global yachting hubs.
The collaboration between Wider and OceanWorld began in 2025 with a presentation at Monaco Yacht Show of the Oceans Yachts brand and Oceans 47, the first model developed in collaboration with Vripack Design Studio.
OceanWorld is a Dubai based company providing support for all boating needs, from selling and shipping boats worldwide, to providing maintenance, care and charter services.
