Raymarine Cyclone Pro 110W 4ft Open Array Radar (15m Cable)

The Raymarine Cyclone Pro 110W with a 4-foot array strikes an ideal balance between antenna size and power, offering a tighter beam and greater range than the 3ft model without the full span of the 6ft. The 4ft antenna (1.2 m) narrows the horizontal beamwidth to roughly 2° (about 1.99°) – significantly more focused than the 3ft’s 2.83° and approaching the sharpness of the 6ft model. This translates to even finer discrimination of radar targets – coastlines, vessels, and even small objects will appear as separate blips rather than blending together, even when they’re close to each other at a distance.

With the same 110W transmitter power, the Cyclone Pro 4ft covers up to 96 nm and outperforms most radars in its class at spotting far-off targets. The doubled power allows the system to “punch through” to distant storm cells and tiny boats sooner and with clearer returns, especially in adverse weather where rain clutter could weaken signals and require more energy to see reliably. In effect, the crew gains precious extra minutes of awareness – whether to change course to avoid a squall line or to get early warning of oncoming vessel traffic.

The Cyclone Pro 4ft inherits all the series innovations: Doppler tracking continuously analyzes every moving echo and color-codes it by approach or departure, immediately drawing the helmsman’s eye to real threats. ARPA functionality is top-tier here as well – up to 100 contacts can be automatically tracked, giving a comprehensive picture even in a cluttered scene of many boats, buoys, and other radar reflections.

With RangeFusion™ technology, the operator sees a unified picture – near and far targets appear together with no detail left out (for example, the Cyclone Pro can show a closing boat at 1 nm and a squall line at 48 nm on the same display scale). This allows more intuitive situational assessment without toggling ranges or modes. Bird Mode remains a key feature for anglers – the 4ft antenna’s higher gain further improves the ability to detect birds at long distances, pointing the boat to potentially fish-rich areas.

The construction and mechanics of the Cyclone Pro 4ft are identical to the other Cyclone models. It’s built to withstand 100-knot winds in an exposed install, and its innovative pedestal conceals all cables for a clean look. The spinning mechanism, up to 60 RPM, provides extremely smooth and rapid scanning at close ranges – very useful when maneuvering in marinas or at high cruising speeds – ensuring the radar can always keep the picture updated in time.

Suitable vessels: The Cyclone Pro 110W 4ft is ideal for large sailing yachts and mid-size motor yachts, as well as commercial craft that have room for a 4ft array and seek top-end radar performance. It commonly finds use on bluewater cruisers and explorer yachts, where the narrow beam helps pick out close targets against a cluttered shoreline or among ice floes in polar waters. Also, for offshore fishing vessels where the combination of Bird Mode and a larger antenna boosts the chances of quickly locating fish activity, this model will be a valued asset.

In summary, the Raymarine Cyclone Pro 4ft delivers flagship radar capability in a package that balances maximum performance with moderate physical size. For captains unwilling to compromise on either range or detail in their radar picture, this model offers the best of both worlds – the punch of a 110W transmitter and the precision of a 1.2 m antenna, backed by all of Raymarine’s advanced electronics.
