Wider 130 Hybrid

The WIDER 130 benefits from the same Diesel Electric technology, coupled to an Azimuthal pod propulsion system, as the other WIDER superyachts permitting greater volume and better located guest suites than on other similar sized yachts. There are no main engines or shafts leading to propellers on WIDER yachts: two variable speed generators serve all of the requirements from hotel and cables supply power to the electric motors on top of the azimuthal pods. This allows for greater flexibility with position and size of the engine room. By reducing the Engine room size, this frees up space in the aft quarter and results in remarkably generous accommodation – and the ability to comfortably include a 6thguest cabin, exceptional for yachts of this size- for both guests and crew.

The propulsion system is also completely modular, so the WIDER 130 can cruise using only the battery packs, in ZEM (Zero Emission Mode), or using up to two variable speed generators. In ZEM mode, the yacht can sit at anchor for up to 8 hours, while running all hotel services including A/C, in complete silence with no generators running. All the onboard energy sources are controlled by the WIDER Power Management System, a smart and fully integrated system which flexibly controls the power supplied by the shore connection, the gen-set and the battery packs, distributing it between the hotel requirements, the propulsion system and the battery pack charging, as required.
The propulsion package on board the WIDER 130 affords significant advantages compared to conventional shaft-line propulsion.

The sporty exterior styling of the WIDER130 allows for huge deck space totalling more than 200m², split into three distinct luxury areas: the foredeck for sun worshippers, bridge deck aft for alfresco dining & entertaining and a generous beach club, famous across the WIDER range, for easy access to the sea.
