As 2024 unfolds at Wider’s Vision Hub in Fano, a new chapter in the brand’s journey unfolds with the launch of two remarkable vessels: the WiderCat 92, marking the brand’s inaugural multihull, and the eagerly awaited debut of the first WiLder 60.

WiderCat 92
A symphony of sea and luxury! Meet “Acali”, WiderCat 92 hull #1, where every wave is a note, and every sunset a masterpiece. With green tech and spacious decks, two VIP cabins, a beach club, and silent cruising in zero-emission mode, it’s more than a yacht—it’s a serenade on the seas!
WiderCat 92 incorporates Wider’s serial hybrid system, combining electric and combustion engine technologies for efficient propulsion. Electric motors power thrusters, supported by generators driven by combustion engines, with energy stored in lithium iron phosphate batteries.
This setup enables cruising speeds of 12 knots, extendable to 15 knots with Electric Boost, and impressive range capabilities of over 1600 nautical miles at 8 knots and up to 2400 nautical miles at 6 knots.
The catamaran offers two VIP cabins with direct access to the beach club, an en-suite double Guest cabin, and a crew area. Owners can opt for a 4-cabin layout.
The main deck features a spacious master stateroom, large windows, and a 360-degree view aft. The upper deck includes a customizable forward cockpit with a Jacuzzi, and the helm is located there, distinguishing it from similar vessels.
Featuring a 67m2 beach club accessible from the VIP cabins, water toy storage in the bulwarks, and an 18m2 garage with an electro-hydraulic opening system. The closed stern garage ensures safety during rough sea conditions and can accommodate either a 5.5-meter tender or a 4.5-meter tender and a Jet Ski.
Prepare to be captivated by the future. WiderCat 92 transcends technological limitations, seamlessly blending outdoor and indoor areas to create a design masterpiece. It embodies a concept where aesthetics, functionality, elegance, and innovation harmonize in perfect balance.
A vision of excellence has launched. WiderCat 92 hull #1 takes to the water in a spectacular launch ceremony at the Italian shipyard’s cutting-edge HQ in Fano, Italy.
Introducing the WiLder 60: A game-changer in bespoke yacht design! Crafted with innovation and sophistication, this 18.9m beauty just launched at the Wider Vision Hub in Fano, Italy.
Crafted under the innovative WiLder brand and using superyacht-derived processes and executed with the precision of the finest Italian craftsmanship, the WiLder 60 showcases a stunning blend of sleek aesthetics and meticulous engineering.
The vessel provides a customizable 40-knot platform for exhilarating leisure experiences, with bespoke build options available to cater to individual preferences and desires.
This debut marks a leap forward in yacht craftsmanship, showcasing Wider’s unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries and exceeding expectations. Constructed entirely from aluminum, the vessel ensures reliability in any maritime conditions, and with a shallow 1.05-meter draft, the fun can be enjoyed right up to the beach.
“The launch of the first WiLder 60 in Fano is not just a milestone for Wider and for the WiLder brand, but also represents a leap forward in what a 60-footer can offer and how can be built,” says Marcello Maggi, president of holding company W-Fin Sarl, which owns 100 per cent of Wider shares.
“Everything about the WiLder 60 is extraordinary, from her 40knot performance to her totally custom layout and finish. This is superyacht-standard bespoke building but offered in an 18.9-metre all-aluminium model, with zero compromise on quality for zero-compromise owners. There’s simply nothing else like her.”
The first WiLder 60 has been built for a European owner and her custom layout and finish has been completed to the owner’s exacting specifications. Two more bespoke WiLder 60s are already in build.
