The Italian group, Wally Yachts, is about to do to motor yachts what it did to the
sailing world several years ago. Following the incredible success of its radical sailing
yachts, they plan to assault the motor market with this design that looks radical even
for the most futuristic movie!

Intermarine, the renowned warship builder put the Wally together. The team work
allowed for the technical solutions to blend with the styling solutions. The result is a
unique yacht with very distinctive characteristics … the vertical bow, the large side air
intakes supplying air to the turbo jet engines and the wide open deck superstructure.

The grayish green metallic color of the hull contributes to the appeal of the 118
WallyPower which features unique lines enhancing her nautical characteristics, and a
glass superstructure exploiting the Wally concept of inside-outside living spaces.

The 118 made her debut late
last summer. Even with some of
the most beautiful sailboats in
the world to admire,
competitors at the St. Tropez
classic yacht rally couldn’t take
their eyes off the Wallypower.
At the maxi-racers’ Rolex Cup
in Porto Cervo, the 118 drew
spectator boats like a carbonfiber pied piper.
And at the Monaco Yacht Show
in September, where she
officially debuted, visitors
couldn’t get enough of her
stealth-bomber chic.

The project has followed an
intensive and exceptional R&D
program which has involved
specialized facilities like SSPA in
Sweden and the Ferrari Wind
Tunnel Facility in Italy to test the
eloquent features of this stunning
yacht.
As a result, the 118-foot yacht
WallyPower stands out for her
technology as well as for her
contemporary design and unreal
high speed capabilities.

The main design and technical features are protected by an international
patent based on the futuristic design leap in luxury motor yachts.

The motorized aft sliding
gangway just off the poop
deck serves as a very large
passerelle (dock or diving
platform at water level) when
completely extended, and as
swimming ladder when
folded.Watching it extend or
retract is mesmerizing.
The superstructure is
elegantly built in strong and
light weight carbon fiber and
PVC foam covered with
laminated glass.
The hull is carbon; the
passarelle is carbon. Even the
bath fixtures are carbon
composites.
Just about the only major
surface that is not carbon
fiber is the decking.Both for
its unmatched beauty and
longevity in the marine world
traditional teakwood was the
choice.

Just forward of the superstructure is an inset seating area, which can be shaded by a bimini top.
That mysterious tinted glass-sided deckhouse shelters a spacious saloon aft, with white upholstery,
plain cherrywood surfaces, and a seductive beach-house ambience.Traditional teakwood is
underfoot.

There are very few cabin doors, no switches, no handles. Lighting is operated by discreet touchscreen computer control panels in every area or cabin. These commands just to name a few
activates flat Plasma screen TVs which fold down into the deck head, selects music from a
200CD library, operates four separate video units and sets air conditioning levels.

The main deck of the Wallypower is a wonderful living space, protected from sun,wind
and rain yet affording spectacular views of the sea and sky for guests, owners, and
helmsmen alike. This style of enclosed, open-air living is a major change in the quite
select and secretive yachting world.

The dining table , made of carbon fiber sits amidships, just aft of the helm.The whole
design allows passage from the sunken alfresco area forward literally aft through the
yacht. Note the upskirt skylight under the table for companionway lighting below.

A sliding carbon composite
dining table and molded web
chairs allow up to 14 people
to eat in either a formal or a
relaxed atmosphere.
Speed issues made lightness
of utmost importance
throughout therefore all
possible construction is PVC
foam covered with carbonfiber layers overlaid with
laminated glass.
To decrease weight further,
all built-in furniture and
cabinetry above and below
deck is a honeycomb
composite, either lacquered
or veneered in American
cherry.
Even the marine toilets are
carbon-composite and weigh
a mere 16 pounds.

The idea behind this project is to have a boat featuring all the spacious comforts of a
mega yacht together with all the nautical characteristics of a super fast coast-guard
cutter capable of an incredible 60 knots.

All passengers can enjoy dining , conversation or cocktails here while lounging on
custom cushions of closed-cell polyurethane foam molded precisely to the boat's
dimensions and covered in simple yet practical terrycloth.

And what about the ridiculously expensive titanium, liberally employed for handrails, blocks,
stanchions and trim? It's stylish and 'maintenance free', says Simon Fry. Lower maintenance means
fewer crew and less cost within a given length. So the pricey titanium is actually seen as a costsaving material in the salty marine environment.

In the bow the master cabin enjoys ample sunshine via a skylight extending below-deck
for the entire length the of the yacht. The double bed's platform is lacquered carbon fiber
and is integral to the hull. The cabin walls are paneled in ecru linen.

The 118 is an express
motoryacht with berths for six
guests in three en suite
staterooms and six crew, and
her accommodations are
arranged symmetrically on
each side of a straight,
central corridor in that unique
angular hull.
The designers employed pearly
white acrylic paint, the same used
on Formula 1 cars on some
surfaces and the companionway
is made from translucent
varnished carbon fiber.
Polyurethane foam cushions are
used for the banquettes and
humidity-resistant Novolatex for
the cabins' mattresses. The pair of
identical guest cabins each have
two single beds, plus en suite
heads and washrooms.

The forward deck of the yacht features the cockpit with a large pop-up bimini roof and tables
accompanied by sliding seats. This system provides the opportunity to modify the layout according
to various situations and requirements, from dining to sun-bathing or a casual living area.

The tender garage in the bow is exposed when a triangular section of the
foredeck lifts on three hydraulic rams revealing a storage compartment for a
Zodiac, scuba gear ,fishing supplies and all the other water toys you can
imagine.

The Galley is gourmet’s
dream and every surface is
stainless steel including the
ceiling.Titanium fixtures are
also in abundance.
It takes a lot these days to
turn heads in super-chic St
Tropez. And yet this year no
fewer than seven yachts
managed to wow the crowds.
The link between these allcarbon, minimalist machines
was one name. Wally.
Wally yachts have become the
object of desire in the carboriche fashion elite. And yet it
has taken only seven years
for Wally Yachts president and
owner Luca Bassani to build
this reputation, with nine
multi-million dollar yachts
ranging from 67ft to 107ft
afloat and talk of a 125-footer
on the drawing board.

The propulsion system includes three Detroit
or RollsRoyce Diesel gas turbines driving
three KaMeWa waterjets generating
16,800 HP and 60 knots of speed with two
auxiliary Cummins diesel engines @370hp
each for the maneuvering, and driving two
waterjets for long range delivery at the
relatively slow speed of nine knots.
TF50 Detroit Diesel/Gas
Turbine @5600hp

There is a more conventional engine option when the yacht is equipped with twin
diesels only.You’ll save about $8 million on the price if you opt for the twin 3,650hp MTU 4000 V16 diesel engines only.
In the helm both turbines and
diesels are electronically
controlled, and simple “clutch
in” and “clutch out” buttons
take care of gearbox transfer
from one to the other. The
same control units also operate
the waterjets.
In fact the helm station looks
almost conventional—until you
notice the separate engineer’s
console on the port side
dedicated to the jet turbines.
Another notable feature is
found in the top section, where
navigation radars and antennas
are concealed in genuine
stealth navy style.

Genuinely new and high-tech, from her engine room to her folding radar mast, the Wallypower 118
has carbon, glass and honeycomb construction, a superbly minimalist Euro interior and a nearly
60-knot top speed. What a combination !
