Wally wallywhy

The wallywhy line questions how much living space a yacht of 21 to 27 meters can hold, answering with a wide body, a continuous main deck and a glazed owner's suite in the bow.

The wallywhy

The wallywhy200 opened the line at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2021, and it was followed by the 24-meter wallywhy150, which made its international debut at Cannes in 2023, and the 21.5-meter wallywhy100, shown at Cannes in 2024. Each is built within the Ferretti Group in Italy.

The concept came from the Wally team led by Luca Bassani: carry the full beam as far forward as possible, keep the main deck on one level, and use glass generously so the sea is always in view.

Design

On the wallywhy200, the owner's suite sits at the bow of the main deck with views of about 270 degrees, beneath an upper deck crowned by a glass and carbon dome. Folding bulwarks open the aft deck into a beach club on three sides, and garages hold a jet tender and toys. Power comes from four Volvo Penta IPS units.

The wallywhy150 keeps the bow suite and single-level main deck with triple IPS, while the wallywhy100 drops the upper deck for a walkaround layout and a full-beam owner's cabin with glass that switches from clear to opaque.

Buying a Wally wallywhy

With the line only a few years old, most wallywhys on the market are recent, and the questions center on IPS service records, hours, generators, hydraulic bulwarks and platforms, and the condition of large glazed panels and their seals. Buyers should also confirm how the yacht was specified, since layouts and finishes vary.

Daniel's buying guide covers the process, and the Wally page places the wallywhy beside the wallytender and wallypower.

Owning and selling a Wally wallywhy

A wallywhy appeals to owners who value space and design over convention, and few other yachts of its length offer the same volume, which supports interest when one is well kept. Presentation matters: the yacht's character shows best in careful photography and a calm, uncluttered viewing.

Daniel starts with a private valuation using sold wallywhys and comparable wide-body yachts, then presents the yacht discreetly or through cooperating brokers in Monaco, Italy and Florida.

Questions owners ask

What makes the wallywhy different from other motor yachts?

The wallywhy carries its full beam unusually far forward, which creates far more interior volume than a conventional yacht of the same length. The main deck runs on one level, and the owner's suite on the larger models sits in the bow behind wraparound glass, giving panoramic views that are usually reserved for much larger yachts.

Which wallywhy is the right size?

The wallywhy100, at about 21.5 meters, is a single-deck yacht suited to owners who want space without an upper deck. The wallywhy150 and wallywhy200, at about 24 and 27 meters, add an upper deck and four guest cabins. Crew needs and berthing rise with size, so use and cruising grounds should guide the choice.

Is the wallywhy built by the Ferretti Group?

Yes. Wally has been part of the Ferretti Group since 2019, and the wallywhy yachts are developed by the Wally design team with Ferretti Group Engineering and built in the group's Italian facilities. Daniel is an independent broker and does not represent Wally or the Ferretti Group.
