Wally and Hermes Partner On Greenish Yacht Concept

Filed under: Water, Green

The last few years brought a flurry of yacht and luxury brand partnerships. Now we are starting to see the output from these collaborations. Hermes and Wally are showing off a model of a 38-meter-wide yacht the WHY 58x38 (it is 58 meters long by 38 meters wide), which was presented in Ancona, Italy. Obviously this is no ordinary sleek vessel but we'd expect nothing less than mad innovation from Wally.

The yacht has 25-meter interior swimming pool, three decks and a 36-meter "beach" along the back. The large solar panels covering the roof and sides of the vessel could save at least 200 tons of diesel fuel a year. The design of the hull means that the yacht uses less power at cruising speed than another boat of equal size. It has a diesel-electric propulsion system and the solar panels power most of the boat's auxiliary system needs. In a press release, Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Artistic Director of Hermès said: "The WHY 58X38 yacht looks very unfamiliar but it remains on a human scale. Space is the greatest luxury on the sea, but I believe the new luxury will be the time to enjoy it."

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Wheels

It's always interesting when companies collaborate, and it's no different in the case of Italian motorcycle maker MV Agusta joining forces with both the clothing manufacturer Hydrogen and the luxury boat company Wally. The resulting limited edition bikes are spin-offs of MV Agusta's Brutale 910 and are appropriately called the Hydrogen Brutale 910 R and the Wally Brutale 910 R. Each of the bike designs are unique while still maintaining the lines and beauty that make the Brutale the bike that it is. Only 100 of each model will be produced.

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Water

The latest yacht from Wally is the 64-foot WallyPower 64. The yacht sits at the smaller end of the company's yacht range. The WallyPower 64 offers wider decks than most boats of a similar size. It can be ordered with engines that can do 43 knots or ones that can hit 50 knots. You won't get too far though, the range is just 300 nautical miles.

It is available with several options for the interior with tow or three-cabin layouts. Each cabin has an ensuite shower room. There is a large social area with a dining table than can seat eight and a lounge with a coffee table and an expansive sunbathing area. Wally plans to build six of these new boats each year with the first two scheduled to be delivered by the end of June.

We are back in Wally world again for a look at the latest crave-worthy launch. Esense is a Wally 143, a 43 meter (around 140 feet) sailing sloop. The yacht is designed to be both classic and modern and to be used by a reduced crew. The deck layout offers a space much like a converted loft apartment giving a huge open cockpit. The stern has the Terrace on the Sea configuration, a large area set at sea level, which can be reached from the main salon. The salon can also be enlarged by incorporating the two guest cabins. The interior design uses paduk wood and metallic white, with exposed matte carbon for the hanging cabinets and a splash of red on some of the joinery.

Filed under: Water

The new 100 foot sloop Y3K from Wally Yacht was recently launched during a private ceremony. The new Y3K is an evolution of the old Y3K yacht, a 94-foot sloop which was sold and re-named Angle's share by her new owners. The new Y3K combines the lines of German Frers with the classic Wally style. The interior configuration is a bit different, the salon is aft and the owner's stateroom is located in the front of the vessel. The new Y3K is currently undergoing sea trails. She will be delivered to her new owner at then end of the month and then head off to Portofino to get ready for her first regatta in May.

Interview: Barton and Gray Fractional Mariners Club

by Trey Evans (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Water

The idea of fractionalizing ownership of expensive things is nothing new; timeshares have been around forever, and companies like Netjets and Flight Options let you own shares in a private jet. And while you can own a share of the 280 Alysia for about $11,000,000, that doesn't seem too practical for casual use. Enter Barton and Gray. They aim to take the hassle out of yacht ownership. Barton and Gray commodore Lyman Perry puts it best, "It has been said that the finest way to boat is to have friends with a yacht, Barton & Gray Mariners Club are your friends with yachts." More on my interview with Douglas Palmer Gray after the jump.

Filed under: Water

Check out the latest idea from the innovative yachtmakers Wally. The company has created the WallyIsland, a massive 325-foot yacht with a giant main platform which can be home to a garden oasis, a large lounge, a heliport, a tennis court or anything else your imagination desires. The WallyIsland is designed to be configured in a variety of different ways. The WallyIsland has an extra-deep pool and a tower-like configuration of three decks: upper deck, owner deck and bridge deck with three additional decks are in the hull: main deck, cabin deck, service and saloon deck. It has six large cabins that can also be turned into 12 smaller cabins for up to 24 guests and there are 20 double cabins for 40 crew members. A library, cinema, spa and fitness area will help keep everyone entertained. There are also two 45-foot WallyPowers as tenders. After the jump, a look at a couple of the other configurations.

WallyPower 70.2 Yacht

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Water

They call the new 70.2 WallyPower yacht a loft for the ocean. This is the first unit of the Open Version which has a suite-like interior layout. The glass superstructure is open in the back making the deck one large open space. There are three different social areas: the forward one inside the glass structure, the sheltered lounge and dining area, and the large rear sunbathing pad. The yacht includes a large owner's suite which takes up two thirds of the interiors and a crew/service area with a double cabin. It uses two MTU diesel engines generating 3,000 Hp driving KaMeWa water-jets, for a speed of 45 knots during sea trials. The pictures make it look a bit tank-like so I don't love it as much as other Wallys I have seen but I perhaps it is more gorgeous in person. An interior shot is after the jump.
