"Our 'spaceship' line redefines the volumes, exterior areas and features available in yachts of this size, drawing from a palette of elements such as wrap-around glazing, forward owner’s suite and high bow."

Wally shifted the dial on yacht design with the wallywhy200. Innovative in so many ways, its bold aesthetic is only matched by the incredible range of features that can be offered by its 200-gross tonne volume. With its full-wide body, the signature of this futuristic space ship is the vast owner’s suite in the bow, which seems to hang over the water below. Wally has expertly engineered a strip of tall glass running all the way round the main deck, providing the cabin with a 270-degree panoramic views and astonishing natural light. And yet, this high 4.7m bow is part of a hull form has been studied in minute detail to provide stability, eliminate slamming and still deliver semi-displacement performance. Renowned designer Laurent Giles developed the naval architecture specifically for this yacht, which was exhaustively tank-tested in Southampton. Combined with the Volvo IPS pod propulsion system, the wallywhy200 can cruise at 20 knots and hit 23 knots flat out with the optional enhanced power package. The design is breathtaking, with elegant teak decking and steps that cascade down to the beach club aft, which extends with wings at the side and a hydraulic bathing platform that doubles as a passerelle. A 4.15m tender and other toys are garaged invisibly behind the wings. An enormous upper deck is presided over by Wally’s signature glass and carbon dome. And on the lower deck, there are a luxurious VIP suite and two dazzling guest cabins. An eye-catching carbon fibre staircase connects all the decks – laminated in a single piece to give structural support and eliminate bulkheads. This creates open entertaining spaces that blend seamlessly into the exterior.

Wally’s WHY200 Impresses Inside and Out

  • By Phil Draper
  • March 21, 2022

Wally WHY200

Why WHY200? The acronym stands for Wally Hybrid Yachts, which has nothing to do with hybrid propulsion, but rather a hull designed for a range of displacement and semidisplacement cruising speeds. And the numerals don’t reference length. They reflect the approximate volume (199 gross tons), which is a lot for a yacht with a length overall of just 89 feet.

But length is not what matters these days. Gross tonnage and beam—the feeling of space—are the important metrics. And on this yacht, that most important effect is achieved.

In all, there’s more than 2,150 square feet of indoor living space, including 1,075 square feet on the main-deck level. Wally says the yacht delivers 50 percent more volume, 60 percent more main-deck area and 40 percent more upper-deck area than any conventional planing yacht of the same length. All of that’s achieved without the speed concessions normally associated with displacement yachts.

Exterior design and styling make the Wally heritage clear, albeit on steroids. The top of the superstructure is virtually all tinted glass. There is extensive hull glazing set into the yacht’s metallic-silver topsides. The top tier effectively wraps around that tall reverse-raked stem, and it’s not just an exterior styling exercise (keep reading).

Wally WHY200

The transom area is a cross between a beach club and a sailing-yacht cockpit, which is not surprising given the 40 or so supersailers Wally has launched in the past 25-plus years. The swim platform and fold-down quarter-cheeks double as doors for two longitudinal garages. They can also create a walk-around stern.

The aft deck is configured more like a sailing yacht, with a wide central walkway flanked by sun pads and bench sofas, making for a more sociable vibe than a traditional transom sofa that spans the beam. There’s room for a cockpit table, and much of the aft deck is semi-enclosed by windowed buttresses to the sides and a substantial upper-deck overhang, all of which make for a much more intimate space.

Electrically opening glass doors lead to a full-beam main salon. This model has a maximum beam of 25 feet, and at its widest, the salon measures virtually 23 feet from picture window to picture window. A glass-walled structural staircase dominates the space and helps to create zones, all with decorative carbon fiber. The soles throughout the shared spaces are mostly 5-inch-wide teak planks, and the wall paneling is an off-white Alcantara—minimalist, chic and classic Wally. The first hull has a galley to port that Wally refers to as a “show kitchen,” and there’s a day head in the after corner to starboard.

The door to this model’s star attraction, the 398-square-foot master stateroom, is forward in the salon. What makes this space uber-special is bow glazing that allows a proper view. The WHY200 is the first production yacht with this feature. It’s 950 square inches, which is nearly the size of a 50-inch TV screen. I walked from there into the stateroom, which has a 200-degree wraparound panorama across an island berth with 6-foot-11-inch headroom. The feeling is impressive.

Wally WHY200

Other layout options allow for one big head and no island berth, or an entertainment space with a bar and circular dining table. The space is all the more dramatic for being ultra-quiet, principally because the engines are so far aft.

Belowdecks aboard Hull No. 1 are three en suite guest staterooms off a central fore-aft passage, all with inboard-facing athwartships berths. The biggest stateroom is in the bow, with a king-size berth to port and his-and-hers heads forward with a shared shower stall between them, plus a sofa. The other two staterooms are amidships and have queens.

There’s also a four-stateroom version available. It trades the forward VIP stateroom for two en suite, twin-berth staterooms with top-and-tail berths.

The amidships crew space spans 344 square feet. There are three cabins for six crewmembers, although the usual complement is likely to be four or five. There also are two shower rooms, a galley and a mess area. Access is via a staircase with two discreet doors to port, one from the forward corner of the aft deck and the other from the after corner of the salon.

The upper deck has a sky lounge with wraparound sofas. It’s a light and bright space, not least for having glazing on five sides of the cube. Not only are there glass doors to the terrace, picture windows to the sides and a glass wall separating the bridge, but there also are skylights above. All that glass means superb views from the helm for normal navigation.

The bridge console is addressed by three seats that are carbon-backed—one for the pilot and the others for guests. Doors on each side connect with partial side decks and the raised foredeck.

Wally WHY200

The amount of space aboard owes everything to the quad Volvo Penta IPS diesel installation beneath the aft deck. There are two options: four D13-900 IPS1200s or D13-1000 IPS1350s. At one-third load, they deliver maximum speeds of 20 knots or 23 knots, respectively, and brisk cruises of 16 or 19 knots. Above that load state, expect speeds to decrease by around a half-knot for every extra ton.

Similarly, ranges vary from 410 nautical miles at 17 knots for the smaller engines to 350 nm at 20 knots for the bigger package. At 10 knots, both setups should stretch to give or take 1,100 nm on four engines. And there’s always the option to run on just two engines, as IPS installations are always more efficient at higher revs.

Tank capacity is 3,170 gallons. Stabilization on the first hull includes fins and gyros. Given that most owners are likely to spend more time at anchor than underway, the extra investment in onboard comfort is never going to be wasted. The two Seakeeper 16s and Humphree electric fins were all active during our runs, and the yacht was rock-steady throughout, hardly heeling even through hard-over turns. Moreover, that high bow rises little more than 2.5 degrees throughout the speed range, which makes moving around while underway so much easier.

Wally has always pushed the boundaries of boatbuilding. With the WHY200, the builder has introduced a forward-thinking exterior design with superyacht space, surprising sea views and admirable performance. Once I was aboard, it didn’t take long for this yacht’s “why” to become a “wow.”

Anchor Access

The ground tackle is all in a compartment beneath the owner’s stateroom, accessible via a crawl space from the VIP closet.

A Yacht is Born

Chief designer and Wally founder Luca Bassani gave creative inputs for this model, working with the Ferretti Group’s central design and engineering team. Laurent Giles in England handled the naval architecture, and the yacht was tank-tested at Solent University’s facilities in Southampton. The minimalist interior scheme comes from Andrea Vallicelli’s studio in Rome. The WHY200 is built at the Ferretti Group’s Mondolfo, Italy, plant.

Semidisplacement hulls make a lot of sense. “You get a much more comfortable ride when you are able to punch through waves at 16, 18, 20 knots,” Bassani says, “but then you have to design accordingly to cope with those waves. …One way of doing that is [to] raise the bow sufficiently, and we’ve used that logic to create a whole new space aboard.”

Toy Stowage

The yacht has two stern garages, each capable of accommodating a 13.5-foot tender or a PWC/Seabob/paddleboard combo.

WHY200: New interior images of Wally's spaceship superyacht model

Ferretti Group has released new interior shots of the first 27 metre WHY 200 superyacht, which made its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival earlier this year.

The WHY200 was designed by Wally founder Luca Bassani in collaboration with the Ferretti Group ’s in-house engineering department. The first hull was delivered in 2021 and finished in an eye-catching 'Wally Silver'.

"With its widebody design, this 200 GT yacht offers far larger volumes compared to traditional motorboats, plus a living space and stability that are definitely greater than any competitor’s,"  says Stefano de Vivo, managing director of Wally. "It essentially provides all the advantages of a catamaran but has none of the limitations, namely the lack of volume linked to the main central hull and mooring problems."

Naval architecture meanwhile was penned by Laurent Giles NA while A. Vallicelli & C Studio designed the interior.

Maximising space is at the forefront of the design, which boasts up to 50% more living space than other yachts this size, Ferretti said. This can be seen in the 37 square metre master suite houses within a 4.7 metre-high glazed bow offering owners 270-degree views from the comfort of a central bed.

Speaking about the owner’s suite, Bassani previously said: “Imagine the feeling of waking up to uninterrupted views through vast windows in the bow, as if you are floating above the water. It is a genuine marvel to behold, we are especially proud of what has been achieved with this revolutionary layout.”

This particular unit features a four-cabin layout with the master cabin positioned forward on the main deck and a VIP and two guest cabins on the lower deck. The galley and crew accommodation also sits on the lower deck and includes three crew cabins for a staff of five.

More than 200 square metres of living space is found throughout the design, including a 22 square metre upper deck interior and 100 square metres main deck interior. The main saloon itself absorbs 61 square metres of the main deck and is home to a lounge and dining area, a show kitchen and a carbon, glass-wrapped staircase that takes centre stage, connecting all three decks.

The aft portion of the main deck features sunpads to either side with folding bulwarks to create a beach club, or "terrace over the water." Concealed below the sun pads is storage for a four metre jet tender, wave runner, SeaBob, paddleboard and all manner of water toys.

The first WHY200 is powered by four Volvo Penta D-13 IPS 1350 engines delivering a top speed of 23 knots complemented by fin stabilisers that can be used both at anchor and under power.

"Like all Wallys, which for 25 years have been ahead of their time and the setters of new standards in yachting design, the new compact superyacht WHY200 carries the 'wow' factor engraved in its DNA," said Bassani.

Speaking about the model, de Vivo previously said: “Through the WHY200, we are challenging preconceived notions of what a yacht should be and how it can be used. It is a platform that can be enjoyed by the whole family or groups of friends without compromise.”

At the 2021 Monaco Yacht Show, Ferretti Group revealed that the WHY200 was set to become a " fully-fledged series " in the near future.

Wally WHY200 “Has ‘Wow’ Factor Engraved In DNA”

  • January 27, 2022

With a staggering 200GT of interior volume, Wally’s four-engine WHY200 has been described by Ferretti Group as the world’s largest fibreglass motor yacht with a sub-24m load line. But is the world ready for this futuristic vision of boating?

   

Wally, WHY200, motor yacht, 200GT, volume, Luca Bassani, Cannes Yachting Festival, Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group, large, Riva 50Metri, Laurent Giles, A. Vallicelli & C, radical, wow

The semi-displacement WHY200 has a top speed of 23 knots

As the Wally WHY200 glides across the bay, she looks more like a runaway train than a luxury motor yacht. Fronted by a remarkable bow rising 15ft 5in – that’s more than twice the height of Yao Ming – the 88ft 8in semi-displacement motor yacht is also a true widebody. And what a wide body it is, with an astonishing beam of 25ft 2in (7.66m) inviting catamaran comparisons.

The full widebody design extends even to the skylounge on the flybridge, the deck with the yacht’s only forward outdoor space, a working area in front of the uber-cool helm station. The design’s front-loaded focus on interior space combined with the enormous beam mean the 200GT Wally Hybrid Yacht blows all her competition out of the water in terms of volume.

Wally founder Luca Bassani drew WHY200’s remarkable profile

Ferretti Group says the WHY200 is the world’s largest fibreglass boat with a sub-24m load line and offers 30 per cent more deck surface than any other yacht in the sub-100ft market. This all becomes apparent as you step inside, where the saloon’s huge width of 23ft is the same as on the 164ft Riva 50Metri, whose maximum span of 29ft 6in includes side decks either side of the living area.

“Now you see why we say we created a new sector with the WHY200. If you don’t see the inside, you don’t understand the outside,” says Stefano de Vivo, Managing Director of Wally and CCO of Ferretti Group. “The WHY200 is our answer to the power catamaran. It fills a hole and doesn’t overlap with any other brand. It’s not a Custom Line Navetta and it’s not a Ferretti Yachts 1000.

Wally, WHY200, motor yacht, 200GT, volume, Luca Bassani, Cannes Yachting Festival, Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group, large, Riva 50Metri, Laurent Giles, A. Vallicelli & C, radical, wow

The hull has a remarkable beam of over 25ft

“It was a challenge, but we believe the model is going to grow on people because it grew on us, just like it grew on the owner of hull one, who previously owned fast Pershing motor yachts, but now wants to cruise longer distances.”

CONCEPT & CONSTRUCTION

Other leading builders of fibreglass flybridge motor yachts have also made a notable push toward volume and range in recent years, yet Wally looks to have gone to the extreme, with Ferretti Group admitting it took “a bit of a gamble” with such a radical design topped by a Wally-styled carbon and glass superstructure.

Wally, WHY200, motor yacht, 200GT, volume, Luca Bassani, Cannes Yachting Festival, Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group, large, Riva 50Metri, Laurent Giles, A. Vallicelli & C, radical, wow

Bassani focused first on the hull design

Is it too much, too soon? Not for Alberto Galassi, CEO of Ferretti Group, who cited the quote attributed to Henry Ford: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”

Wally’s super-smooth, clean, almost sparing designs are often perceived as futuristic, with founder and Chief Designer Luca Bassani frequently described as being 20 years ahead of the game, yet his latest model may be his boldest yet. “WHY200 has the ‘wow’ factor engraved in its DNA,” Bassani says.

Wally, WHY200, motor yacht, 200GT, volume, Luca Bassani, Cannes Yachting Festival, Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group, large, Riva 50Metri, Laurent Giles, A. Vallicelli & C, radical, wow

The almost vertical bow rises 15ft 5in

The WOW200 would also have been a good name, so why ‘WHY’? Wally Hybrid Yacht refers not to its propulsion but its ability to offer the volume of a displacement yacht on a semi-displacement hull that can reach 23 knots with the more powerful quadruple engine options. As well as being Wally’s answer to the powercat, Bassani believes “it’s an explorer, it’s a crossover; it can be anything on this hull”.

The WHY200 started in 2019, when Ferretti Group challenged Bassani to design a high-volume, semi-displacement yacht. Interestingly, considering the final out-of-the-box exterior design, Bassani started by focusing on the hull to achieve cruising speeds of 15-20 knots without planing, working with British firm Laurent Giles on the naval architecture.

Wally, WHY200, motor yacht, 200GT, volume, Luca Bassani, Cannes Yachting Festival, Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group, large, Riva 50Metri, Laurent Giles, A. Vallicelli & C, radical, wow

“We started with the hull because this is even more important for a semi-displacement hull,” Bassani admits. “We had to have a hull that can be very good through the waves, so we needed a high bow like ships or real explorer yachts to keep up speeds in big waves and reduce water on deck.”

BEACH CLUB & COCKPIT

As well as volume, another reason for creating a wide yacht was to increase stability – again, like a catamaran – and the widest part of the yacht is aft, from where it gently tapers forward. This shape means the widest areas are the beach club, main-deck cockpit and aft flybridge.

Wally, WHY200, motor yacht, 200GT, volume, Luca Bassani, Cannes Yachting Festival, Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group, large, Riva 50Metri, Laurent Giles, A. Vallicelli & C, radical, wow

An Opacmare transformer provides access to the water and extends the beach club

One of WHY200’s most innovative features is its split garage, which is as clever as it is cool and another example of form following function.

“The stern is probably the part of the yacht where you live most of the time and we didn’t want the view blocked by the central garage, so we moved them to the side,” Bassani says.

Wally, WHY200, motor yacht, 200GT, volume, Luca Bassani, Cannes Yachting Festival, Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group, large, Riva 50Metri, Laurent Giles, A. Vallicelli & C, radical, wow

Wide central stairs lead between the sunbathing areas to the covered aft cockpit

Yet he did much more than that. The side bulwarks also act as the garage doors and open to allow access to a Williams DiesetJet 415 on starboard, while the port side can store a large jetski, Seabob, paddleboard and other water toys.

When the bulwarks are down, they combine with the aft platform to create a walkaround, three-sided beach club offering 345sqft of social area just above the water, with two aft sofas providing fixed seating. And there’s more, with a central Opacmare transformer providing access to the water or pontoon.

Wally, WHY200, motor yacht, 200GT, volume, Luca Bassani, Cannes Yachting Festival, Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group, large, Riva 50Metri, Laurent Giles, A. Vallicelli & C, radical, wow

The long cockpit has sofas facing inward and aft, a diagonal dining table to starboard and port flybridge stairs

Wide central steps lead to the 500sqft cockpit, which is dominated by the huge sunbathing areas on top of both garages, each lined by seating facing centre and aft. Protected by big windows either side, the inner cockpit area has flybridge stairs to port and a dining table and chairs by the starboard sofa, yet while very spacious, the zone can feel a little dark due to the enormous overhang.

A ‘BOX YOU CAN FILL UP’

Including the length of the sunbathing areas, the cockpit is notably long, so the saloon starts about 30ft from the stern or over a third of the boat’s length. Italian studio A. Vallicelli & C handled the interior design of WHY200, and the décor is a mix of wood, sandy tones, black, white and shades of grey.

Wally, WHY200, motor yacht, 200GT, volume, Luca Bassani, Cannes Yachting Festival, Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group, large, Riva 50Metri, Laurent Giles, A. Vallicelli & C, radical, wow

The saloon features a carbon-fibre staircase; hull one has a ‘show kitchen’ to port

There’s a nice continuity as teak flooring and the white ceiling continue from the cockpit into the saloon, yet sight lines are interrupted by the carbon-and-glass staircase almost plumb in the middle of the saloon.

It’s certainly a centrepiece, one that may divide opinion, but it’s structurally essential and does provide a divider in the middle of the vast saloon, a 650sqft rectangle that owners can pretty much arrange as they wish – around the staircase.

Wally, WHY200, motor yacht, 200GT, volume, Luca Bassani, Cannes Yachting Festival, Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group, large, Riva 50Metri, Laurent Giles, A. Vallicelli & C, radical, wow

Aft view of the saloon, which has a beam like the saloon on the Riva 50Metri

“The saloon is just enormous,” De Vivo says. “It gives you flexibility because it’s a box and you can fill it up how you wish.”

The first hull features a long white cabinet to starboard opposite a show kitchen and bar stools port of the staircase, an area that could be used for a dining or games table or otherwise.

For the forward half of the saloon, Wally’s layouts include two facing L-shaped sofas, coffee tables and chairs, while there’s also an option for a dining table and chairs with the starboard sofa.

A dining table can be included in the lounge area

The staircase leads up to the skylounge, which has four skylights – two big, two small – and on hull one features a C-shaped sofa to port that faces an entertainment zone with 55in TV to starboard.

Again, the room can be customised, with plans including a dining table to port and L-shaped sofa to starboard.

The skylounge on hull one features seating to port and a large TV to starboard

Forward within the carbon ‘dome’ is the spectacular helm station with four screens and distinctive, high-back seats by Poltrona Frau, one for the pilot and twin chairs to port. Side doors lead to the yacht’s only ‘foredeck’, which has a sofa but is mainly a working area.

The stairs also lead aft to the enormous outdoor area, about half of which is covered by the ‘hard top’, a sleek 6-7m extension from the carbon structure housing the skylounge and sole helm station.

Wally, WHY200, motor yacht, 200GT, volume, Luca Bassani, Cannes Yachting Festival, Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group, large, Riva 50Metri, Laurent Giles, A. Vallicelli & C, radical, wow

The flybridge provides a huge outdoor space for loose furniture

Ferretti Group describes the carbon structure as “a masterpiece of design and engineering for its exceptional stability and strength” and it’s hard to disagree, although the sides do reduce the natural light in the dining area.

However, modern sofas, sun loungers and chaise longues all enjoy vast outdoor space alongside a wet bar on starboard, and again, the size of this area makes it unique for a yacht in this category.

‘WOW BOW’ AND DOWN BELOW

The indoor ‘boxes you can fill’ continue back on the main deck with arguably the most spectacular room of them all – the 400sqft master suite in the bow, although options for the space include a dining room featuring a circular table and a corner bar, a layout that might have strong appeal in Asia.

Wally, WHY200, motor yacht, 200GT, volume, Luca Bassani, Cannes Yachting Festival, Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group, large, Riva 50Metri, Laurent Giles, A. Vallicelli & C, radical, wow

On the main deck, the forward room enjoys 270-degree views and can also be used for dining

The room features a spectacular 270-degree view from up high, with hull one featuring a forward facing bed ahead of his and hers bathrooms either side of the door. Other layouts include just one bathroom, to port, and a walk-in dressing room to starboard, but the room is really about the views.

“The volume carried forward on the main deck was a result of the high bow, so I thought we could exploit this new volume by having an owner’s suite,” Bassani says. “It has the best view and a good position because you’re far from the engine room. All potential clients who have been on board love this position.”

The spectacular master suite with two bathrooms

The central staircase also leads down to the lower-deck cabins, which are accessed by a hallway leading forward between identical guest rooms on either side, each with inward-facing beds and forward bathrooms.

The VIP suite is in the bow, with an inward-facing bed on port and storage, a sofa and a pop-up TV to starboard, while forward are ‘his and hers’ bathrooms with sinks and toilets either side of a shared shower.

This bedroom can become the master if the room above it is used for other purposes, plus it can even be split into two guest cabins if four lower-deck cabins are desired.

The crew area is aft of the central staircase and contains the main galley, with stairs on the port side, below the flybridge steps. Crew are well served by a separate mess, captain’s cabin with en-suite featuring separate shower, two twin-bunk rooms and a shared bathroom, also with separate shower.

THE FUTURE IS NOW

On board technology includes a 5G wireless network connection with home automation control, which means guests can manage audio and video systems via mobile devices, both outside and inside the yacht. The first hull features a 5.1 Premium sound system on the main and upper decks, while a sophisticated Sonance sound system serves the outdoor areas.

For propulsion, the first unit is powered by four 1,000hp Volvo Penta D-13 IPS 1350 engines, while fuel can be saved by running on just two engines at displacement speeds up to about 10.5 knots.

During media sea trials, the hull showed its impressive ability to cut through chunky waves with minimal pitching. It also ‘cornered like it’s on rails’, maintaining a horizontal position while turning, yet another catamaran comparison, yet without the ‘stiffness’ of a twin hull, Bassani emphasised.

While the width and hull design provide stability, this can be enhanced at anchor or while cruising with two Humphree fin stabilisers, plus there’s also an option for two Seakeepers.

Hull six is scheduled for Asia by late 2022

Ferretti Group is currently producing several more units in Mondolfo, where Pershing motor yachts are built, although a new facility is planned for a range of WHY models. For now, hull six of the WHY200 – with a dining room in the bow of the main deck – has been earmarked for Asia as the Group seeks to roll out this pioneering model to markets around the world.

The Wally WHY200 offers clients more space and volume than ever before on a CE-category, 23-knot motor yacht, but its radical styling, full widebody shape and other design elements will challenge many. Only the market will decide if Wally has pushed too far, too soon.

Wally WHY200 yacht tour: Inside the most extraordinary superyacht of the year

  • Superyachts
  • Top stories
  • yacht tours

MBY editor, Hugo Andreae, takes a tour of the absolutely stunning Wally WHY200, which features possibly the finest owner's cabin we've seen.

Since his company’s acquisition by Ferretti in January 2019 , Luca Bassani can now dip into the substantial coffers of the Weichai Group.

When Sr Bassani starts writing cheques, the results are usually worth a look. The Wally WHY200, designed by a triumvirate involving Wally , Ferretti and Laurent Giles, luxuriates in a substantial beam, a four-engine power plant and a total wide-body design.

There are no side decks at all on the main deck, and the short walkway aft from the foredeck looks like it was only grudgingly accommodated by the designers, so the crew can reach the midships cleats. It’s certainly unlike anything else.

They call it a ‘spaceship’ for obvious reasons – its name reflects the 200 Gross Tons of its interior spaces, and yet at under 24-metres load line length it can legally be owner-operated.

A four-engine installation allows for a short engineroom and frees up a lot of volume on the lower deck, so the Wally WHY200 not only has three substantial double guest ensuite occupying the forward half of the hull, but also superyacht -style crew quarters amidships, with three cabins, two heads and a crew mess.

It’s the main deck, though, that will get the headlines. The tremendous-looking owner’s cabin sits up front, surrounded by glass, while the enormous saloon, at 61 square metres, spans the full beam of the hull, with the galley on the port side, separate seating and dining areas, and a central staircase.

The spectacular sun lounge on the upper deck, behind the wheelhouse, leads out onto a well furnished and spacious aft terrace. Down at the waterline, the topsides unfold aft to create a 32-square-metre beach club.

Boat of the Week: The Wally WHY200 Is a Rule-Breaking 89-Footer With the Space of a Superyacht

Wally's why200 isn't 200 feet long. it's 89. but thanks to its wide beam and high profile, it has the interior space of a 165-foot superyacht., michael verdon, michael verdon's most recent stories.

Wally WHY200 has the highest-volume interior in the 80 foot and under motoryacht category

It’s pretty clear that someone who names their yacht company after a 1960’s cartoon is going to have an unusual view of design. Luca Bassani, who called the 1989 boat he built for himself Wallygator (after the Hanna Barbera cartoon), has since turned the Wally brand into yachting’s favorite cult. The angular hulls and minimalist topsides have been recognizable worldwide for more than 20 years. Bassani is the only designer whose unique looks extends from 100-foot-plus sailing yachts to 30-foot powerboats—and he introduced them years before many other builders started copying his designs.

The Italian designer has launched a new trend with the new WHY200—200 standing for 200 gross tons, which is not weight, but the internal volume of the yacht. It equals 20,000 cubic feet.

The WHY stands for Wally Hybrid Yacht, but it doesn’t mean electric-diesel propulsion. “It’s a hybrid between a planing motoryacht and displacement boat,” Bassani told Robb Report at the Monaco Yacht Show. “We were constrained by length but not by width, so we created an extreme, wide-body yacht. We wanted to offer much more than competitors by not following the rules of the game.”

Actually, the rules of the game are what prompted the design. European maritime regulations state that any hull length of 24 meters and below (78.7 feet) are boats. Over that, they are classified as ships, with different rules and significantly higher operating costs. The trend now is to package as much interior space as possible into smaller hull lengths, and different European brands, including Princess, Ferretti Yachts , Azimut and Benetti, have done that with relative degrees of success.

But the WHY200 is another animal. It has an overall length of 88’8″, but its hull length at the waterline is 78’8″, so it works under the 24-meter rule. But then the real measurements begin. “The beam of the main salon is 24 feet, the same size as a 160-foot superyacht,” says Stefano de Vivo, Wally’s managing director, who admits that the unusual profile will “get a positive or negative ‘wow.’” But when they come inside, he adds, “they’ll see why it’s designed like that.”

Looking at the first images, I was firmly in the negative-wow camp. The vessel looked like a tall, somewhat bloated wedge—a midlife-crisis version of the svelte, strait-edged Wallys of earlier days. As a longtime fan of the brand, it seemed like Wally had gone soft.

But as soon as I stepped aboard, I couldn’t help muttering a positive wow under my breath. The boat is wide, with a beam of 24’10”, and the stern uses every bit of that, with wide open space and stunning teak-work. The side panels open out to make the boat feel even wider, giving it more volume along the exterior. There’s no other word but commanding— while still being elegant and simple—for that stern. It’s a very hard impression to pull off.

Anyone can design a lot of space into a yacht, but it has to be able to run safely in seas. Bassani has been obsessed with seaworthiness in both his sailing and power yachts, so it was clear he wouldn’t just settle for a big box on the water. Wally worked with naval architect Laurent Giles to create a running surface that offers strong fuel efficiency and range in displacement mode, but can plane to a speed of 21 knots, or 24.1 mph, with its four Volvo Penta IPS engines.

“The bow doesn’t lift out of the water more than a degree when it goes on plane,” says Bassani. “And you don’t feel the ride like other motoryachts. We had the boat in six-foot seas and it was very steady—no pitching or pounding.”

Beyond the hull, the big differentiator among its competitors is the WHY200’s interior, with a 900-square-foot main suite in the bow that has 270 degrees of tall windows around the island bed, and sits about 14 feet off the water for exceptional, private views at anchor or running. The design is another first.

The main salon is below-decks, down a wide glassed-in, carbon-fiber stairway that’s an architectural feature, but also lends structural stability to the yacht’s center section. The design also separates the two large spaces in the salon. Items like a “show” kitchen, just near the yacht’s rear entrance,  four staterooms on the lower deck, and the distinctive minimalist woodwork and black-lacquer trim provide a distinctive signature. There’s a sense of openness across the yacht, with no clutter.

The flybridge provides an inside-outside living area, with an edgy, angular carbon-fiber top covering about half of it. The bow comes to an extreme point, with minimal foredeck, rising about 15 feet over the water, making it a dry boat.

I asked Bassani about the unique look. “It’s the first of its kind, just like the Porsche Cayenne,” he says. “Nobody did a sporty SUV, but a few years later, they’re everywhere.”

He added: “You can’t really compare this boat to others of the same length—length is only one of three dimensions of any design. In the end, you have to compare by comfort.”

These days, where gross tonnage is king, comfort has become the key design feature for many builders. Wally says it will make a smaller version of the WHY200, but didn’t release details.

The <a href="https://www.wally.com/wally-why/why200.html">WHY200</a>, which measures 200 gross tons and can be registered under a 24-meter (78&rsquo;8&rdquo;) load line length, conveys the comfort and space of a much larger displacement yacht, yet with the speed advantages of a semi-displacement yacht.</p> <p>"More than ever before, we are finding less time to gather with our loved ones, so when we are able to get together it needs to be special for everyone, no matter what their age or interests. Through the WHY200, we are challenging preconceived notions of what a yacht should be and how it can be used. It is a platform that can be enjoyed by the whole family or groups of friends, without compromise," said Stefano de Vivo, Wally Managing Director. "In keeping the yacht registration under a 24-meters (78&rsquo; 8&rdquo;) load line we have been able to optimize the costs of running and berthing, while still providing the space and volume benefits of a much larger vessel thanks to its innovative full-wide-body design."<br /><br /></p> <h2>ADVANTAGES OF A FULL WIDE-BODY DESIGN</h2> <p>By absorbing prized space conventionally used for exterior walkways into a unique, full-beam salon, the WHY200&rsquo;s 61-square-meter (656 square feet) open-plan contemporary living area is increased significantly. Being 50% larger than most salons found in the yacht&rsquo;s category, the expansive space benefits from a structural central carbon fiber staircase, linking the accommodation on the lower deck to the upper deck&rsquo;s stunning glass-encased sky lounge. Additionally, an informal show kitchen can be fitted as an optional layout.</p> <p>The numbers speak for themselves in showing why this yacht is so remarkable. The WHY200 provides more than 200 square meters (2,153 square feet) of indoor living space, including a 22-square-meter (237 square feet) upper deck interior and a 100-square-meter (1,076 square feet) main deck interior. The lower deck has a typical footprint for the yacht&rsquo;s length, given over to three or four double guest cabins (depending on the choice of layout option), but the crew and service quarters have the largest capacity for the class, with the galley and three cabins for up to five crew members spread over 32 square meters (344 square feet).<br /><br /></p> <h2>A FORWARD-THINKING OWNER&rsquo;S SUITE BRINGS THE WOW FACTOR</h2> <p>"Providing owners with an elevated experience on board has always been central to our mission at Wally. We have had a longstanding vision to create a wrap-around main deck in glass that would provide so many lifestyle benefits to the owner and now finally the technology has made this possible, unlocking game-changing extra interior volume on this deck. It has allowed us to create a sensational and unprecedented 37-square-meter (398 square feet) owner&rsquo;s suite at the bow, which takes the onboard experience to a whole new level. Imagine the feeling of waking up to uninterrupted 200-degree views through vast windows in the bow, as if you are floating above the water. It is a genuine marvel to behold, we are especially proud of what has been achieved with this revolutionary layout," said Luca Bassani, Wally Founder and Chief Designer.<br /><br /></p> <h2>THE FEELING OF BEING OUTSIDE MEETS THE PROTECTION OF INSIDE</h2> <p>Recognizing a shift in owner preferences to reduce exposure to the elements while enjoying the outdoor environment, Wally has provided ample protection from the sun, wind and rain across its 144 square meters (1,550 square feet) of exterior decks. An extended pillarless overhang above the main deck aft and flanking glass panels provide shelter to the alfresco dining and lounging area, which has unobstructed views on three sides and seamlessly flows into the main salon past sliding full-height doors.</p> <p>This extended overhang translates to a larger upper deck aft, too, offering space to recline on sunloungers or sit at the shaded dining table. Through a large sliding door, guests make their way into Wally&rsquo;s first enclosed bridge, encompassing the wheelhouse and sky lounge, which are stylishly encased in glass with a carbon superstructure that echoes the clean, angular aesthetic of the brand&rsquo;s legendary Wallypower motor yachts. Access to the foredeck is provided through side doors in the wheelhouse.<br /><br /></p> <h2>THE LURE OF A BEACH CLUB LIFESTYLE</h2> <p>Of course, fun in and on the water is a key attraction to the yachting lifestyle, and the WHY200 brings this in abundance. Fold-out wings expand the beach club area to the kind of magnitude seen on a superyacht, spanning 32 square meters (344 square feet) with access to the sea on three sides, creating a whole new level of enjoyment at the waterline. With not one but two concealed garages, there is unprecedented storage capacity for the yacht&rsquo;s size category, ingeniously stowing a four-meter tender and numerous watertoys.<br /><br /></p> <h2>WHEN SPEED MEETS SPACE</h2> <p>Beyond the lure of the enhanced living space on board, the WHY200&rsquo;s adaptive performance capabilities are compelling. As today&rsquo;s fast-paced schedules afford us less time for extended trips, the speeds offered by conventional full-displacement yachts can restrict cruising plans. At the other end of the spectrum, many owners of planing yachts are being turned off the concept of cruising at eye-watering speeds of 30 knots, both from an environmental and economic perspective. What&rsquo;s more, high-speed planing yachts customarily require a compromise on living space to reduce their weight.</p> <p>The WHY200 is the first Wally Hybrid Yacht: optimized for both full- and semi-displacement cruising, it sits perfectly between the voluminous but slower full displacement yachts and the restricted but rapid planing yachts. Combining advanced naval architecture and an adaptive multi-propulsion system, the WHY200 has been designed to cruise at an impressive 20 knots in hyper displacement mode, providing more time to explore further afield and to reduce duration underway between anchorages or trips into port. And when speed is less important than efficiency, for example during relocations made by the crew, the yacht also performs economically in long-range displacement mode.<br /><br /></p> <h2>COMFORTABLE AND STABLE ACROSS THE BOARD</h2> <p>In terms of naval architecture and engineering, the WHY200 meets all the expectations that come with the respected Wally name. Statistically, guests spend more time on yachts when they are at anchor than underway, so a roll-free at-anchor experience is essential for comfort on board; with its stable, beamy hull complemented by both fin and gyroscopic stabilizers, the WHY200 is as steady as they come.</p> <p>After exhaustive testing at the Solent University&rsquo;s towing tank in Southampton, UK, the yacht&rsquo;s functionally-led hullform has been optimized to deliver a comfortable experience at a wide range of speeds, thanks to the close collaboration between Wally, <a href="https://www.ferrettigroup.com/en-us/">Ferretti Group Engineering</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://laurentgiles.co.uk/">Laurent Giles naval architecture studio</a>. And as one of the foundations for the WHY200&rsquo;s design concept, its Volvo pod propulsion system is central to delivering an engine room that maximizes living space on the lower deck, while also providing easy and safe maneuvering from the helm.</p> <p>"We always strive to push the limits of what is possible in yachting, and in doing so look to pave the way for the next 20 years. Designing the WHY200 has been a genuinely exciting process. We took a step back and asked ourselves why owners of yachts in this size bracket love spending time on their vessels, and how this could be improved. Space and time are two of the most important factors on everyone&rsquo;s wish list, and I believe we have delivered these in abundance on the WHY200," concluded De Vivo.</p> <p>The WHY200 will debut at the <a href="https://www.ferrettigroup.com/en-us/News-and-Events/Detail/t/Winning-the-space-race-with-the-WHY200/y/2021/n/1807">Ferretti Group Private Preview in Monaco</a> at the beginning of September 2021.</p> The Wally WHY200 Redesigns Space Onboard 2021-06-15 11:38:24.0 [empty string] [empty string] 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] Omit Sidebar Omit Gallery [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] 0.000000 Links/Quotes Link/Quote [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] 0.000000 [empty string] weekly Providing a ground-breaking owner’s suite in the bow and up to 50% more living space than traditional yachts of its length.

WALLY WHY200 REDESIGNS SPACE

After more than 25 years of creating some of the world’s most revolutionary yachts, Wally has turned its attention to the compact superyacht market. The WHY200 , which measures 200 gross tons and can be registered under a 24-meter (78’8”) load line length, conveys the comfort and space of a much larger displacement yacht, yet with the speed advantages of a semi-displacement yacht.

"More than ever before, we are finding less time to gather with our loved ones, so when we are able to get together it needs to be special for everyone, no matter what their age or interests. Through the WHY200, we are challenging preconceived notions of what a yacht should be and how it can be used. It is a platform that can be enjoyed by the whole family or groups of friends, without compromise," said Stefano de Vivo, Wally Managing Director. "In keeping the yacht registration under a 24-meters (78’ 8”) load line we have been able to optimize the costs of running and berthing, while still providing the space and volume benefits of a much larger vessel thanks to its innovative full-wide-body design."

ADVANTAGES OF A FULL WIDE-BODY DESIGN

By absorbing prized space conventionally used for exterior walkways into a unique, full-beam salon, the WHY200’s 61-square-meter (656 square feet) open-plan contemporary living area is increased significantly. Being 50% larger than most salons found in the yacht’s category, the expansive space benefits from a structural central carbon fiber staircase, linking the accommodation on the lower deck to the upper deck’s stunning glass-encased sky lounge. Additionally, an informal show kitchen can be fitted as an optional layout.

The numbers speak for themselves in showing why this yacht is so remarkable. The WHY200 provides more than 200 square meters (2,153 square feet) of indoor living space, including a 22-square-meter (237 square feet) upper deck interior and a 100-square-meter (1,076 square feet) main deck interior. The lower deck has a typical footprint for the yacht’s length, given over to three or four double guest cabins (depending on the choice of layout option), but the crew and service quarters have the largest capacity for the class, with the galley and three cabins for up to five crew members spread over 32 square meters (344 square feet).

A FORWARD-THINKING OWNER’S SUITE BRINGS THE WOW FACTOR

"Providing owners with an elevated experience on board has always been central to our mission at Wally. We have had a longstanding vision to create a wrap-around main deck in glass that would provide so many lifestyle benefits to the owner and now finally the technology has made this possible, unlocking game-changing extra interior volume on this deck. It has allowed us to create a sensational and unprecedented 37-square-meter (398 square feet) owner’s suite at the bow, which takes the onboard experience to a whole new level. Imagine the feeling of waking up to uninterrupted 200-degree views through vast windows in the bow, as if you are floating above the water. It is a genuine marvel to behold, we are especially proud of what has been achieved with this revolutionary layout," said Luca Bassani, Wally Founder and Chief Designer.

THE FEELING OF BEING OUTSIDE MEETS THE PROTECTION OF INSIDE

Recognizing a shift in owner preferences to reduce exposure to the elements while enjoying the outdoor environment, Wally has provided ample protection from the sun, wind and rain across its 144 square meters (1,550 square feet) of exterior decks. An extended pillarless overhang above the main deck aft and flanking glass panels provide shelter to the alfresco dining and lounging area, which has unobstructed views on three sides and seamlessly flows into the main salon past sliding full-height doors.

This extended overhang translates to a larger upper deck aft, too, offering space to recline on sunloungers or sit at the shaded dining table. Through a large sliding door, guests make their way into Wally’s first enclosed bridge, encompassing the wheelhouse and sky lounge, which are stylishly encased in glass with a carbon superstructure that echoes the clean, angular aesthetic of the brand’s legendary Wallypower motor yachts. Access to the foredeck is provided through side doors in the wheelhouse.

THE LURE OF A BEACH CLUB LIFESTYLE

Of course, fun in and on the water is a key attraction to the yachting lifestyle, and the WHY200 brings this in abundance. Fold-out wings expand the beach club area to the kind of magnitude seen on a superyacht, spanning 32 square meters (344 square feet) with access to the sea on three sides, creating a whole new level of enjoyment at the waterline. With not one but two concealed garages, there is unprecedented storage capacity for the yacht’s size category, ingeniously stowing a four-meter tender and numerous watertoys.

WHEN SPEED MEETS SPACE

Beyond the lure of the enhanced living space on board, the WHY200’s adaptive performance capabilities are compelling. As today’s fast-paced schedules afford us less time for extended trips, the speeds offered by conventional full-displacement yachts can restrict cruising plans. At the other end of the spectrum, many owners of planing yachts are being turned off the concept of cruising at eye-watering speeds of 30 knots, both from an environmental and economic perspective. What’s more, high-speed planing yachts customarily require a compromise on living space to reduce their weight.

The WHY200 is the first Wally Hybrid Yacht: optimized for both full- and semi-displacement cruising, it sits perfectly between the voluminous but slower full displacement yachts and the restricted but rapid planing yachts. Combining advanced naval architecture and an adaptive multi-propulsion system, the WHY200 has been designed to cruise at an impressive 20 knots in hyper displacement mode, providing more time to explore further afield and to reduce duration underway between anchorages or trips into port. And when speed is less important than efficiency, for example during relocations made by the crew, the yacht also performs economically in long-range displacement mode.

COMFORTABLE AND STABLE ACROSS THE BOARD

In terms of naval architecture and engineering, the WHY200 meets all the expectations that come with the respected Wally name. Statistically, guests spend more time on yachts when they are at anchor than underway, so a roll-free at-anchor experience is essential for comfort on board; with its stable, beamy hull complemented by both fin and gyroscopic stabilizers, the WHY200 is as steady as they come.

After exhaustive testing at the Solent University’s towing tank in Southampton, UK, the yacht’s functionally-led hullform has been optimized to deliver a comfortable experience at a wide range of speeds, thanks to the close collaboration between Wally, Ferretti Group Engineering  and Laurent Giles naval architecture studio . And as one of the foundations for the WHY200’s design concept, its Volvo pod propulsion system is central to delivering an engine room that maximizes living space on the lower deck, while also providing easy and safe maneuvering from the helm.

"We always strive to push the limits of what is possible in yachting, and in doing so look to pave the way for the next 20 years. Designing the WHY200 has been a genuinely exciting process. We took a step back and asked ourselves why owners of yachts in this size bracket love spending time on their vessels, and how this could be improved. Space and time are two of the most important factors on everyone’s wish list, and I believe we have delivered these in abundance on the WHY200," concluded De Vivo.

The WHY200 will debut at the Ferretti Group Private Preview in Monaco at the beginning of September 2021.

Along each side of the yacht-building facility, space is available for long-term sub-contractors with the latest equipment and logistics capabilities, along with air-conditioned storage, ventilation and extraction plants. The shipyard is organized as an “assembler,” based loosely on the car industry’s model, with a small, yet powerful project management team charged with running all the in-house long-term sub-contractors.
