In Spring of 2024 Wider launched its first new WiderCat 92. The first WiderCat signals a new fresh direction for the Italian yacht builder who has revolutionized yachting with its forward-thinking technologies and unwavering commitment to conscious cruising from its arrival in 2010. With the WiderCat 92, the Fano based yacht builder show that the Wider Vision Hub is not just a marketing slogan, but a place where to push the boundaries of maritime and yachting innovation. The WiderCat 92 stands as the trailblazer in a series of avant-garde multihulls meticulously crafted by the Fano-based brand, and comes from a design by Luca Dini Design in partnership with Wider Centro Stile, captivating with its seamless integration of outdoor and indoor spaces but also pioneers technological advancements, embodying a harmonious fusion of beauty, functionality, sophistication, and innovation. With a focus on aesthetics and design ingenuity, Wider has elevated the WiderCat 92 to embody the style and elegance reminiscent of a mono-hull, in a 28 meter super catamaran reflecting a thoughtful balance between form and function, refined in a design within the realm of multihulls. WiderCat 92’s unit #1 features two generous VIP cabins and a twin guest cabin located lower deck. The main deck is dedicated to a capacious owner’s suite, complete with a private foredeck lounge, occupying nearly half of the total space. Additionally, a four-cabin layout option is available. The galley is conveniently situated on the main deck as well. Beyond the customizable aft cockpit on the main deck, which provides a breath taking view through uninterrupted windows, the upper deck boasts and additional forward cockpit, a sky lounge and the helm station. The tender garage, boasting a transom hatch that effortlessly transforms into an expansive swim platform, sets the stage for a remarkable maritime experience. The fold-down bulwarks serve a dual purpose, not only enriching the generous Beach Club, conveniently accessible from the VIP cabins, but also discreetly concealing storage compartments for water toys. This innovative design, that sets this model apart from others of similar length and category, ensures that every aspect of the WiderCat 92, from its functional elements to its recreational spaces, is meticulously crafted to enhance the overall seafaring pleasure. The WiderCat 92 also integrates Wider's advanced serial hybrid propulsion system, rooted in the shipyard's profound technical expertise, which sets the super catamaran apart in terms of performance achievements. With twin electric motors delivering 500kW each to the thrusters and two 349kW variable speed generators for electrical energy production, the catamaran exemplifies nautical advanced engineering. The heart of this prowess lies in the thirty LiFePO4 batteries, meticulously managed by a state-of-the-art Battery Management System. This system ensures continuous monitoring of operating parameters, facilitating intelligent charge balancing. Beyond its impressive efficiency, it's crucial to underscore that this outstanding performance is achieved with a total commitment to safety, reflecting Wider's dedication to delivering a secure and exhilarating yachting experience. Generators operate at minimum power consumption, allowing cruising in Zero Emission Mode with a 27-nautical-mile range at six knots in complete silence or a fourteen hour autonomy on battery power at anchor. Additionally, 150 m2 of solar panels ensure energy self-sufficiency at anchor, with any excess energy stored in the batteries for night time use.
