These also get all the light and views you could ask for, but the real fun is to be had on the upper deck, where the wheelhouse is located. Other configuration options include the choice of three or four en suite guest cabins on the lower deck. When the space is used as the owner’s cabin, the scenery visible from the centrally placed bed is limitless. While the first hull includes an owner’s suite on the main deck forward and three more double cabins on the lower deck, sleeping eight total, other options can sleep up to 12 guests in five cabinsĪlthough it is the designer’s choice, the forward owner’s cabin is an option – the Wally WHY200 is also offered with a dining space forward, framed by windows. Various layouts are possible on the WHY200. The boat is very stable and there isn’t a lot of pitch, so sleeping fore is feasible.” So we raised the bow and then we found we had created a new volume, a new space and we thought: why not have the master cabin there? It’s a really nice spot. “That brings a different set of problems because if you don’t have a high bow you’ll get a green wave of water coming over the boat. But if we have a hull that’s good through the waves we can go faster, say at 15 to 20 knots, and still stay comfortable.” He has a twinkle in his eyes as he mentions speed. Being wide, it also has a lot of space and stability. We have 1.5 degrees of trim instead of the usual three to five, so it’s more comfortable – you’re not on the incline of a mountain. “So with Laurent Giles and the technical office at Ferretti we developed a hull shape that we’re very happy with. Semi displacement is very difficult in terms of riding through the water it’s as if you’re always on the hump of a wave,” Bassani says. “As always with Wally, we began by thinking about the hull.

The exterior is just a consequence of the quest for interior volume and the volume-to-length ratio will create a new market segment because it allows for a new way of using the yacht,” he says. “We’re not expecting anyone to say that they love the exterior look but like all Wally yachts it will take time and it will grow on you. “Bassani sees it straight away, but even at the shipyard it took the rest of us a while to understand it,” he says of the yacht’s design. Stefano de Vivo, Wally’s managing director and chief commercial officer of the Ferretti Group, knows that the wallywhy200 is an eyeful but he also knows that Wally has always been a step ahead. And there’s not a curve in sight – unless you count the teak covering the symmetrical side garages, which bends the planks of wood like a Thonet chair.
Everything is catty-corners, sunpads to tables to staircases to benches. Bassani jokingly refers to that aft deck as the dance floor. Deck and saloon are on the same level and there’s space, space, space. Teak benches, sunpads and a wide central staircase are all perfect for easy access to the water or a proper welcome to a party.
