Wally Yachts

Italian senior yacht designer Luca Bassani is the force behind the world’s first full-wide-body superyacht. Dubbed wallywhy200, it's a modern vessel that boasts innovation, space, speed and performance.

A year ago, Wally previewed the sleek 48 Wallytender, a stylish yacht tender with expandable deck. Now Wally gives the 48 a little extra juice, swapping the twin-Volvo drive for a quartet of Mercury outboard engines to create the 48 Wallytender X.

One of the truly grand superyachts previewed at last week's Monaco Yacht Show, the 165 Wallypower combines hard, sharp angles with natural curves for a look that's positively arresting.

​When giant of the yachting world the Ferretti Group acquired small but savvy outfit Wally last month, it did so looking to add some flair and award-winning pedigree to its boatbuilding portfolio. The first fruits of this partnership were revealed at last week’s Düsseldorf International Boat Show.

Wally says its new Ace displacement yacht has 30 percent more space than its nearest competitor in length.

Yacht Island Design's Project Utopia has a 100 meter diameter, spans 11 decks and has the equivalent floorspace of a cruise liner - indeed, there is enough space to create an entire micro-nation.

Wally's top-selling Tender is to be replaced by the Wally One, offering more performance, technology and comfort with less overall length, consumption and amazingly, the new bottom-of-the-range Tender is cheaper than the Wally One at just US$825,000

The Wally Hermes Yachts joint venture has created a multi-story 58 metre-long, 38 metre-wide floating personal holiday resort with almost an acre of floorspace
