The Wider 52 is a 51.56-metre superyacht project from Wider Yachts, extending the Italian shipyard’s serial-hybrid lineup into the popular 50-metre-plus segment. At 169 feet 2 inches overall with a beam of 8.50 metres, the 52 offers the volume and capabilities expected of a true superyacht while incorporating Wider’s pioneering electric propulsion technology.nnPowered by twin 1,200 kW electric engines within a serial-hybrid configuration, the Wider 52 targets a maximum speed of 17 knots, making her one of the fastest hybrid superyachts in her size range. The substantial power output enables confident long-range cruising while preserving the ability to switch to silent, zero-emission electric mode in sensitive marine environments and tranquil anchorages.nnThe aluminium hull and superstructure maintain the weight efficiency that characterises all Wider builds, ensuring the hybrid propulsion system delivers its full performance potential. The 52’s generous beam provides expansive interior spaces across multiple decks, with the layout flexibility to accommodate varying owner preferences.nnAs a project-stage vessel, the Wider 52 offers prospective owners the opportunity to influence the interior design and specification from an early stage. The vessel builds on the engineering heritage of the delivered Wider 150 and 165, applying proven technologies at an increased scale.

Wider built the 52 to read as one idea from bow to flybridge, not a hull and a superstructure negotiating a truce.
Centro Stile Wider shapes both the exterior and the interior, so the aluminium hull, the wheelhouse and the cabins below all speak the same language. The flybridge sits above an island dashboard that puts navigation and systems control in one place rather than scattered across the helm. Large windows run through the main and upper salons, keeping the displacement hull’s volume visually light rather than heavy, and the two-tone styling Wider favours across its range carries through here too. At 8.5 metres of beam, she has the width to make these lines generous without losing proportion.
Seventeen knots at the top, and a 14.5 knot cruise that asks almost nothing of the generators.
Twin 1,200 kW electric engines in a serial-hybrid arrangement give the Wider 52 genuine pace for a yacht of her size, while the hybrid system allows long stretches of silent, battery-led running when the owner wants it. A 2.3 metre draught keeps her accessible to anchorages that would turn away a conventionally built yacht of comparable length, and 52,000 litres of fuel support real cruising range between fills. The result is a yacht that behaves like a far more conventional superyacht underway, with the option to switch to something considerably quieter the moment she drops anchor.
Seven cabins, 14 guests, and an owner’s suite the size of a small apartment.
The layout runs to seven cabins in total: up to six guest cabins plus an 80 square metre owner’s cabin, sleeping 14 guests across the configuration. A crew of nine keeps service running without ever crowding the guest areas, a ratio that reflects Wider’s intent for the 52 to run as a proper, fully crewed superyacht rather than a scaled-up motor yacht. Large windows throughout the main and upper salons keep the cabins bright, and the flexible deck arrangement allows an owner to adjust cabin configuration to suit charter use or private ownership as the build progresses.
Three hundred and sixty square metres of outdoor living, before anyone even reaches the beach club.
The Wider 52 dedicates unusual space to life outside, with external living areas totalling 360 square metres across her decks. A swimming pool and a helideck both feature, an unusual pairing at this length and a clear statement about the kind of ownership the 52 is built for. At the stern, the beach club opens to more than 90 square metres at water level, turning what is normally a transit space into the yacht’s social centre whenever she is at anchor. It is a yacht designed around time spent outside, not simply time spent aboard.
The serial-hybrid system is the point of the 52, not an option fitted to it.
Twin 1,200 kW electric motors draw on a system Wider has already proven at superyacht scale aboard the 165, now built into a purpose-designed 52 metre platform rather than adapted from a larger hull. The aluminium construction keeps weight in check, which matters more on a hybrid yacht than almost any other, since every tonne saved extends how long she can run on batteries alone. Wider Engineering, the yard’s own naval architecture division, carries that experience directly into the 52’s hull form and systems integration, rather than handing the brief to an outside house.
