Worlds Top Yachts - Wally Power

29 September 2008

If you've ever laid eyes on the Wallypower Superyacht, then you've probably thought the government created a stealth-like boat in their secret labs and you would subsequently be blindfolded and ultimately disposed of for witnessing the floating fortress.

Relax. This isn't the case all; you're totally safe. The Wally is a sleek, futuristic yacht straight out of a science-fiction movie, but it's non-lethal. Everything about this yacht screams out cool and original. The 118-foot, Italian designed sea-beast blows contemporary yachts out of the water with its amazing speed as well.

Most yachts barely pick up enough speed to cause the water to ripple, but Wally chugs along at over 110 kilometers per hour (68.3mph).

The reason for its shape is simple: performance. Wally was built to travel at blazing fast speeds, all while keeping its guests aboard draped in luxury. The radical styling of the yacht was tested at Ferrari's wind tunnel to ensure it would break the waves.

The Wally is equipped with three 5,600 horsepower gas turbines that are designed similarly to a jet fighter plane. Air inlets on either side of the boat effectively funnel air into the engines, thus allowing for faster revolutions and ultimate power output. It can travel at top speed for over 400 nautical miles. Wally comes in different models with price tags of $26-million and $20-million for two-engine models.

The outer shell of Wally is amazing. The steel angled V-shaped bow easily withstands high-speed deepwater travel and is constructed from polyester resin to absorb the force of the water.

On the deck of the ship, Wally's design is made up of carbon fiber skins with a PVC core, which helps to lessen the noise and vibrations in the yacht's living quarters. The cockpit is totally encased in a high-quality, unique glass and carbon fiber structure. Everything you would expect to find on the deck of a regular yacht (cleats, radar antenna, dome, anchor system, etc) is all hidden away on Wally. And adding to its stealth-like appearance, Wally's outer shell changes color depending on light reflection, water, and the surrounding landscape.

WallyPower is one of the fastest and most high-tech super-yachts on the market. And though the exterior of the ship is all about sharp lines and steal appeal, the deck, cockpit, dining and saloon areas have been constructed as one single area, giving it the atmosphere and appearance of a New York style loft.

The dining area and lounging cockpit are both right up front toward the superstructure, in order to provide maximum privacy and to leave guests aboard the coolest part of the ship at anchor. The table lowers to reveal a large lounge area, and the staterooms are all luxurious and spacious.

WallyPower has won multiple awards, including the MYDA Millennium Yacht Design Award. It has also been featured on the big screen, starring as “Renovatio” in 2005's science-fiction thriller, The Island.

"...The Island was a totally wicked film, so this is the boat, I thought it was just made up. Looks as futuristic as the movie!..."
