Wally and the New Definition of Nautical Luxury

Wally has launched the wallywhy100, a vessel that fundamentally reimagines the yacht in the sub-24-meter category — uniting innovation, design, and sustainability in a single, commanding package.

In yachting, Wally has always occupied the vanguard — and with this new model, the brand has elevated the on-water experience to an entirely new register. Measuring 21.46 meters with a beam of 5.73 meters, the wallywhy100 departs decisively from convention, offering volume and design that rival vessels of considerably greater size. Founder Luca Bassani‘s vision is realized in a hull defined by a radical bow and flat surfaces that are as visually arresting as they are functionally precise — optimizing deck space on the main level, where natural light amplifies every luxury.

The glass superstructure, engineered for 360-degree views, shelters an extraordinary saloon with tables and sofas designed for unhurried hours at sea. A swim platform and two folding terraces can be deployed to create an award-winning 14 m² deck just above the waterline — ideal for sun-drenched days offshore. For water toys, an integrated hydraulic platform accommodates tenders of up to 3.6 meters.

Performance and Sustainability That Defy Expectations

The interior — masterfully conceived by Vallicelli Design Studio — celebrates a rigorous minimalism in which nothing is superfluous and every detail has been deliberately chosen. Spaces are defined by contrasting textures, pairing carbon fiber with warm wood to evoke a sophisticated comfort. The owner’s stateroom spans the full beam, with panoramic windows and a private bathroom whose glass transitions from transparent to opaque at the touch of a button — a seamless shift from daylight openness to total privacy. The experience aboard is a precise convergence of style and comfort.

Performance is equally formidable. Equipped with Volvo Penta IPS1350 engines, the wallywhy100 reaches speeds of up to 27 knots, delivering not only pace but an enviable range of 340 nautical miles. It is proof that efficiency and environmental responsibility need not come at the expense of luxury — making it the natural choice for extended passages where performance and sustainability must coexist.

In a crowded field, the wallywhy100 stands apart as an ideal vessel for long-range cruising — one that reconciles comfort, performance, and environmental commitment with rare authority. With its emphasis on volume, progressive design, and a genuine sustainability ethos, this yacht is positioned to redefine the standard of nautical luxury. Wally has always transformed the way we see the sea. The wallywhy100 does it again.
