Genesi WIDER 150

The WIDER 150 motor yacht Genesi is currently for sale and available immediately 

Genesi’s  modern exterior lines, with a contemporary styled interior, offers huge out door space, including the biggest beach club in her class, a 7m swimming pool, a 10m tender as well as remarkably low levels of noise and vibration thanks to her advanced Diesel electric propulsion system.

“Genesi” obtains the highest possible rating for the RINA Comfort Class Certification. This is the first time that a perfect score of 100/100 has ever been awarded!

Another milestone reached by our WIDER 150 is that she is winner of the prestigious Neptune award within the category “Displacement Motor Yacht under 500 GT, 42m to 46.9m” at the World Superyacht Awards 2016.

She was additionally awarded a special commendation prize for Technology and Innovation, in recognition of the Diesel Electric Propulsion System combined with the intelligent layout and use of the forepeak for the four variable speed generators to create more usable guest areas in the mid-ship.

The key advantages of the WIDER 150 over other similar, full displacement vessels in the size bracket include:

1.        A 90m² Beach Club, including 7m pool – the biggest in its competitive set, a fantastic space, very much in vogue, but taken to the next level through the intelligent use of space and opening side hatches.

2.        Huge outdoor areas, totalling in excess of 350m² (including the beach club).

3.        A 32’ Rigid Tender – unique in this size range, more usually only available on yachts of 65m+. This offers the owner additional freedom to enter small bays and creeks.

4.        75m² Owners Apartment, including a 5.6m² sea terrace – Again, this is the biggest in class, meaning the owner can spend longer periods on board in greater comfort.

5.        An opening forward terrace with 65’tv – this gives the owner and guests total privacy at dock for al fresco dining or a spectacular position to relax while underway

6.        An ergonomically designed, wrap around, bridge with attached captain’s cabin

7.        Diesel Electric with Azimuthal pod Propulsion system coupled with 544kw battery bank  – Proven technology in the commercial and military markets as well as very large yachts, the only yacht of its size with this type of propulsion system and battery storage.

The advantages of this system over traditional propulsion include:

·           Ability to run solely on battery power for a full night or whilst using the beach club in complete silence –  no noise or smoke or smell, just the sound of the waves lapping up against the side of the hull

·           Flexibility of layout – no shafts, simply electric cables which link the power to the electric motors on the pods and supply all of the hotel systems. This has allowed for the engine room to be moved into the bow, liberating more usable space in the mid ships, which benefit the guest cabins.

·           Reduced noise and vibration – The source of noise (the generators) has been displaced into the bow, the Power management system optimises the use of one or more generators to ensure that never producing more power than required at any given moment and  electric motors are quieter meaning  significant reduction in noise and vibration levels

·           Fuel Efficiency and thus extended cruising range – just 70 lt per hour at 10kts offering 4800 mile range

·           Shallow draft – 6ft 5in – Allows access to more areas, including Bahamas

·           Increased reliability – electric motors have less moving parts and are less prone to failure

·           Reduced maintenance - Because of the efficient use of the generators by the power management system, generator hours are reduced meaning that the time between overhaul is extended
