WiderCat 92

With a beam just shy of 40 feet, the cat offers a generous amount of space onboard. The first hull is equipped with one giant owner’s suite, two generous VIP cabins, and one twin, but owners can also opt for a five-cabin layout. This particular owner’s suite covers almost half of the main deck and opens onto a private foredeck lounge. The main deck is also home to a well-equipped galley and a customizable aft cockpit, while the upper deck sports an additional forward cockpit, a sky lounge, and the helm. At the stern, the tender garage can transform into a spacious aft beach club with fold-down bulwarks that increase the amount of waterside space. Wider is widely considered to have started the trend of fold-out platforms for yachts.

Maggi says eight other hulls are under construction at the yard in Fano. Following the unveiling of the first hull in Venice, Wider will release a four-episode web series detailing the evolution of the pioneering multihull. The WiderCat 92’s worldwide debut is scheduled for the Cannes Yachting Festival this September.

Here Comes the WiderCat 92

  • By Yachting Staff
  • May 22, 2024

WiderCat 92

Attendees at the upcoming Venice Boat Show in Italy will get a preview of the WiderCat 92 , which is scheduled to make its official world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September.

The WiderCat 92 is a fiberglass collaboration between Luca Dini Design and Centro Stile Wider. The model marks the first in a series of catamarans that are expected to come from the shipyard as part of new leadership by Marcello Maggi, president of W-Fin Sarl, the holding company that owns 100 percent of Wider’s capital.

Accommodations aboard the WiderCat 92 include two VIP staterooms and one double-berth guest stateroom, in addition to an owner’s suite that occupies almost half of the main deck.

Propulsion is hybrid, and Wider partnered with the Italian company Applied to use its Future Marine maritime navigation and control software. The system integrates real-time 3D visualizations to monitor and control onboard systems.

“The WiderCat 92 is a testament to Wider’s pioneering vision and construction expertise,” Maggi stated in a press release. “Today, as in the past, Wider approaches the yachting market with ambition and the desire to continuously push the boundaries of technological innovation.”

WiderCat 92

Additional features include a tender garage that transforms into a beach club, and folding bulkheads that expand the beach club space. Following the Venice Boat Show, Wider plans to release a four-episode web series about the creation of these features and more.

The Venice Boat Show is scheduled to take place from May 29 through June 2—and the shipyard says the choice of the city for the catamaran’s debut is not coincidental. Venice is also home to the Wider Superyacht Hub, where construction is underway on the 236-foot Moonflower 72, developed in collaboration with Nauta Design.

Additionally, Wider is building more units of the WiderCat 92 at its new facility in Fano, called the Wider Vision Hub.

How tasty will Wider’s stand be at the Venice Boat Show? Good question. Show-goers will have the unusual opportunity to taste what the yard calls “gelato infused with the distinct flavor of Wider,” made by TooA to demonstrate the fusion of tradition and technology. The builder’s stand at the Venice Boat Show will also showcase Talenti furnishings, and the WiderCat 92 on display will show off customized versions of the Seabob F5S as well as SipaBoards Neo Silver Drive, the first electric SUP by Wider.
