The WiderCat 92 is a groundbreaking 28-metre power catamaran from Wider Yachts, the Italian shipyard renowned for pioneering serial-hybrid diesel-electric propulsion in the luxury yacht segment. As the flagship of the WiderCat line, the 92 represents a bold new direction in sustainable superyacht design, combining the inherent advantages of a catamaran platform with Wider’s proprietary hybrid drivetrain technology.nnWith a beam of 12 metres, the WiderCat 92 offers an extraordinary volume-to-length ratio that sets her apart from conventional monohull yachts in her size range. The expansive deck areas and wide-body interior spaces create a living environment more commonly associated with yachts significantly longer. The twin-hull configuration delivers exceptional stability at anchor and underway, virtually eliminating roll motion for supreme comfort during extended cruising.nnWider’s serial-hybrid propulsion system is the technological heart of the vessel, enabling silent electric-only cruising at lower speeds while providing conventional diesel-electric power for longer passages. This dual-mode capability allows owners to enjoy pristine anchorages in near-total silence, with zero emissions at the waterline.nnThe WiderCat 92 accommodates up to 10 guests in generous staterooms, supported by dedicated crew quarters for 4. The main deck saloon flows seamlessly onto the aft cockpit, while the flybridge provides a commanding 360-degree vantage point. The catamaran’s shallow draft opens up cruising grounds inaccessible to deeper-keeled vessels of similar displacement.nnBuilt in aluminium at Wider’s facility in Ancona, Italy, the WiderCat 92 exemplifies the yard’s commitment to pushing boundaries in naval engineering while maintaining the highest standards of Italian craftsmanship and design excellence.

Silence, at anchor and underway, is the whole idea.
Twin 500 kW electric motors draw from a 360 kWh battery bank, kept topped up by twin 360 kW generators and around 170 square metres of solar panelling spread across the decks and wheelhouse roof. Run on batteries alone she covers roughly 25 nautical miles at 6 knots in near total silence, and with the generators sharing the load at 10 knots her range extends to around 1,300 nautical miles on a 2,642 US gallon fuel capacity. The energy management system, developed in house by Wider, gives the owner a live read on how power is generated, stored and used at any moment, whether under way or plugged into shore power.
A 12 metre beam on a 28 metre hull is not a subtle difference.
The twin hull form gives the WiderCat 92 a volume to length ratio no monohull in her size range can match, and the stability that comes with it all but removes roll, at anchor and under way alike. A shallow draught of around 1.6 metres at full load opens cruising grounds a deeper keeled yacht of similar size would have to avoid. Her profile stacks three distinct living levels, a flybridge with its own upper saloon, a main deck built around the saloon and owner’s suite, and a lower deck given over to guest cabins and the beach club, each one shaped by the width the catamaran platform provides rather than fought against it.
The owner’s cabin claims half the main deck, and every inch shows it.
Set forward with its own private terrace, pantry and bathroom, it occupies more than 50 square metres of a main deck that runs past 100 square metres in total. Two mirrored VIP cabins sit in the hulls below, each with an ensuite and direct access down to the beach club, and a fourth cabin with twin beds completes a layout built for ten guests. Interior design comes from Luca Dini Design working alongside Wider’s own Centro Stile, a pairing that shows in how calmly the spaces are resolved for a yacht with this much structural width to work with.
At the waterline, she opens almost entirely to the sea.
The beach club runs to around 67 square metres, with drop down balconies that bring it level with the water and watertight doors connecting straight through from the VIP cabins above. Forward, the tender garage swallows a 5.5 metre tender, or a smaller 4.5 metre craft alongside a jet ski, and its door folds down to extend the bathing platform when she is at anchor. A crane on the foredeck handles a further jet ski or two, and up on the aft deck a full bar, lounges and a separate grill station give the upper levels their own rhythm, distinct from the calm of the beach club below.
Every system on board traces back to one engineering team.
Wider Engineering handles the naval architecture and the hybrid powertrain in house, built at the yard’s facility in Ancona. Four crew live aboard in dedicated quarters split across both hulls, including a captain’s cabin with its own bathroom and a crew mess with a dinette and monitoring systems for the yacht’s cameras and systems. The bridge sits forward on the upper deck, with camera assisted remote docking control built in, a useful aid for a 12 metre beam vessel in a tight marina berth. For an owner weighing a true hybrid superyacht against a conventional flybridge motor yacht, the WiderCat 92 offers space, quiet running and a genuinely different ownership proposition.
