Twenty years ago, Wally founder Luca Bassani watched in awe as his famous wallypower118 guzzled a gallon of diesel every four seconds and flew over the waves at nearly 60 knots. Today, with a touch more wisdom and a lot more taste, he says: “Speed is no longer everything. Now we want to enjoy the ride – slowly.”
At 70 feet (21.3 meters) long, the wallywhy100 remains the smallest member of the Wally Hybrid Yachts series, but it’s certainly no less impressive. Its gross tonnage reaches approximately 100 GT, which means plenty of room for entertaining, relaxing and of course – for Instagram shots that your friends will envy for a long time to come.
Breathtaking design
Its futuristic silhouette and huge glass surfaces create the feeling of sailing on a movie set. The interior salon and bridge can be completely closed off with elegant glass doors – or everything can be opened up to let the wind of freedom blow into the yacht. The outdoor dining area with an elegant round table for six people is a real stage for parties under the stars.
An interior that invites you to laze around (and work, if you have to)
The master cabin, luxuriously spread across the entire width of the vessel (5.6 meters), offers a king-size bed, a private lounge and a bathroom with glass walls that turn milky at the touch of a button. In addition, wallywhy100 offers two additional guest cabins - one with a double bed and one with twin berths. For even more pampering, there is a hydraulic bathing platform and plenty of sun loungers, perfect for sunsets that will make you want to stop.
Performance that respects your peace of mind
Under the hood of the wallywhy100 there are two engine options:
- 2 x 900 HP Volvo Penta IPS1200, with which it reaches a maximum speed of 25 knots (46 km/h),
- 2 x 1,000 HP Volvo Penta IPS1350, which can reach speeds of up to 27 knots (50 km/h).
With a tank capacity of 4,542 liters of diesel fuel and a range of approximately 1,000 nautical miles (1,852 km) at 10 knots (18.5 km/h), you will be able to easily explore the entire Adriatic - and beyond.
Accessories that pamper
As befits a Wally, the wallywhy100 is also equipped with Seakeeper stabilizers, which eliminate annoying rocking even when anchored. Of course, there is also a garage for “toys” – from underwater scooters to SUPs – for all marine adventurers.
