WiderCat 92

A Superyacht that’s Switching to Electric!

While Sunreef now offers almost all its models in an Eco variant, it has to be said that multiyachts over 80 feet opting for a hybrid formula are few and far between.

And yet here we are with the WiderCat 92, a futuristic powercat previewed at the Cannes Yachting Festival. On board, we were impressed by the natural lighting provided by imposing glazed surfaces on the sides of the nacelle. Another highlight of this huge multiyacht is its cockpit, which can be converted into a beach club using fold-down bulwarks.

In the “enginerooms”, two 500 kW motors are powered by LiFePO4 batteries, guaranteeing a range of 27 miles at 6 knots. And there’s 1,615 square feet (150 m²) of solar panels to ensure energy self-sufficiency at anchor. The builder has just announced a new model, the WiderCat 76.
