Comfort or performance? Both, thank you. Credit
is due to wallywhy100, a unique and bold design that will
complement the successful range of wallywhy boats,
this sea spaceship was created to cover a specific mar-
ket segment. While beautiful and sleek, in fact, tradi-
tional coupes do not offer the comfort and livability that
today’s owners expect from their boats. On the other
hand, larger and bulkier yachts generally do not allow
high speeds and flexibility of use.
The exterior design and naval architecture come
from the experience of the Wally–Ferretti Engineering
team, while the interior design bears the signature of
Vallicelli Design Studio.
The sheltered cockpit is projected forward to en-
sure ample space for social life, both inside and out,
which gives the wallywhy100 an eye–catching, ele-
gant look with a strong personality. This is further em-
phasized by the large, comfortable beach club at the
water’s edge and the tall, imposing, slightly upturned The wallywhy100 defies convention with a seamless, single–level design, offering a versatile main deck that effortlessly transitions
bow, which ensures dry and safe sailing in all weather between enclosed comfort and open–air al–fresco dining
conditions.
Thanks to its innovative design, the wallywhy100
is an extremely versatile boat, perfect both as a day–
cruiser or weekend cruiser and as a superyacht sup-
port vessel. It is also the ideal ‘home’ for a vacation away
from land, thanks to its spacious cabins, numerous ver-
satile lounging areas, generous crew quarters, and large
garage and storage.
Like the larger wallywhy150 and wallywhy200
models, the wallywhy100 also emphasizes harmony
between exterior and interior: unlike many boats of this
size, with layout split between several levels to create
the illusion of more space, the Wally team opted for a
single–story configuration, from stern to bow instead.
The result is a multipurpose area at the main deck level
that can be closed or fully open for dining, safely, in con-
tact with the sea.
Other features include the huge 14 square meters
beach area, equipped with a large hydraulic platform
for launching and retrieving tenders and water toys up
to 3.6 meters in length, while the hydraulic gangway
provides easy access to the water and dock. Of course,
the beach club also boasts Wally’s typical fold–down
broadside, which not only increases livable space by
50%, but also offers unparalleled 180–degree views.
In terms of propulsion, Wally opted for the relia-
ble and well–proven configuration with two D13 Volvo
IPS, which offer a cruising speed of 24 knots and max- elegance, comfort and speed, eliminating the need to
imum speed of over 27 knots in the updated IPS1350 The wallywhy100 delivers a harmonious blend of compromise between style and performance
specifics.
With a joystick system and a whole host of ad-
vanced Volvo Penta technologies, the wallywhy100 of-
fers an easy and smooth sailing experience, perfect for
owners who prefer to manage their yacht themselves.
