With one simple push of a button, both sides of the [luxury water vessel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aman-amangati-yacht) hydraulically fold outward, creating a wider platform. Designed and created by Tilli Antonelli, the founder of Pershing Yachts, the 'Wider 42' is designed for speed with easy access to the water. Including features like a 162-square-foot cockpit, 20-foot beam and a speed of up to 45 knots with 370-horsepower engines, the 'Wider 42' is one-of-a-kind. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Morphing Yachts:** Innovative yacht designs that incorporate flexible and adjustable features for customization and ultimate sea-experience. - **Hydraulic Wider Platforms:** Advanced hydraulics technology applied to yacht-building, creating wider platforms that increase stability and provide more space for other water equipments onboard. - **Lightweight Aerodynamic Yachts:** The creation of ultramodern, lightweight and aerodynamic yachts that offer better fuel economy, speed, and comfortable ride for passengers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Yacht Manufacturing:** Reconceptualizing yacht manufacturing to incorporate new technologies and advanced features, such as adjustable and morphing platforms, to enhance the yacht owner's experience. - **Water Sports Equipment Manufacturing:** Creating new equipment like jet skis, hoverboards, etc. that integrate well with modern yachts with adjustment possibilities and innovative designs. - **Hydraulic Technology Industry:** Developing specialized hydraulic technology solutions for yacht builders to construct morphing yacht platforms, increase stability and onboard space, thus improving the overall experience of yacht owners. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Riproaring Luxury Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opulent-luxury-yachts.md) - [Furutistic Reconfigurable Superyachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yacht-design1.md) - [Advanced App-Connected Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wajer-44-yacht.md) - [Jet-Ski Powered Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-16.md) - [Sleek Design-Forward Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikonic-yachts.md) - [Customizable Luxurious Superboats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gt-superboat.md) - [Haute Electric Cruising Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persico-zagato-1002-hyperboat.md) - [Red-Accented Yacht Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alia-57-yacht.md) - [Hydrodynamic Avian-Inspired Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wakinyan-catamaran-yacht.md)
