Monaco 11th December 2024 - Ever since its first groundbreaking models, Wally has stood as a bridge from the present to the future of yacht design. With the wallypower50, the Wally designer’s team led by Luca Bassani and the Ferretti Group Engineering team have embraced that concept, skilfully building a bridge between two key ranges within the Wally powerboat lineup.
Spanning the arc between the stylishly practical wallytender range and the practically stylish wallypower58, the wallypower50 is so flexible and adaptable that it can serve as anything from chaseboat to tender to day-cruiser to luxury weekender to high-octane thrill-ride – proof indeed that whatever life you want to lead, the wallypower50 is the bridge that can take you there.
The wallypower50 represents a perfect fusion of design, engineering, and build quality, harmoniously combining the most distinctive features of two different Wally ranges into one extraordinary model.
This exclusive yacht offers the opportunity to choose the best of both lines and customize her to suit the client’s preferences. The wallypower50 is not only a symbol of Wally’s style and innovation but also the result of the Ferretti Group’s manufacturing strength and reliability, continuing to set the standard for excellence in the yachting world.
Multiple profiles with model looks
The wallypower50 combines the more open design of the wallytenders with the sportiness of the wallypower58. Her extensive list of options allows to define the wallypower50 to meet specific needs. Love the vertical stem and inimitably striking lines of the wallypowers? The new wallypower50 carries that design DNA in her profile and her hull, matching flair with finesse. But if you want an element of wallytender practicality, no problem – you can spec a wraparound fender like those found on the wallytenders to give you more rugged workhorse capability.
At Wally, design has always been the cornerstone of everything created, embodying a cutting-edge approach in the yachting industry. The wallypower50 is a perfect example of how form and function can come together, creating sleek lines that not only preserve performance but enhance it.
Delving into the details of the wallypower50, the distinctive features of Wally emerge, such as the signature windshield design and the option to integrate the revolutionary Magic Portholes below deck.
Deck divine and interior iconic
Central to the onboard experience is the beautifully drawn balance between rugged practicality and sublime functionality, and it is here that the shared genes between the wallytenders and the wallypowers is truly evident.
The wallypower50 boasts all the open space of her smaller cousins, which lends herself perfectly to working tender operational parameters, but adds touches that speak to her standalone capabilities too. There are two sunbeds aft instead of one, with a generous walkway between them offering easy boarding and disembarkation; moreover, drop-down aft bulwarks extend the aft deck space by five square metres, creating a luxurious area for enjoying the sea or enjoying a sundowner or two with family and friends.
Forward of the sunbeds, nestling under the protection of the angular cockpit structure yet still delivering an alfresco feel, is the cockpit saloon. A dining table with banquettes and further bench seating comfortably accommodates eight guests. Of course, there is also a foredeck sunpad with adjustable headrests, ideal for soaking up some rays at anchor or away from prying eyes when moored stern-to; there is also easy access to the hidden anchoring system, which itself is not only a neat design trick but also means even the foredeck is clutter free.
The helm itself is elegant and modern, offering all controls to hand and with two large MFDs screens providing access to all operating and systems data as well as a comprehensive navcomms suite. The helm is ideally located for all-round visibility – particularly pertinent when riding the wallypower50 to her higher performance limits.
Below, the wallypower50 reveals her power roots, with not only a full head and shower but a welcoming space that can offer everything you need for weekending, or even longer cruising. A large forward double bed in the bow, a cosy saloon area and kitchenette galley, all finished to the highest standards, mean the wallypower50 can just as easily be your pied-a-terre wherever you wish to go.
A life at full speed
The wallypower50 doesn’t just encompass flexibility, she also offers a bridge into the rarefied world of true performance boating – because if a thrilling, responsive, exhilarating dream-ride is what you’re after.
The wallypower50 offers propulsion via twin Volvo Penta IPS650s that offer a 30-knot cruise and a top speed of 36 knots, all the while combining performance with easy handling thanks to a perfect hull, and joystick control with optional DPS for close-quarters situations. The optional Volvo Penta Assisted Docking system simplifies port maneuvers by automatically compensating for external forces like wind, waves, and currents, ensuring greater control and precision. It is not an autonomous docking system, but a hybrid solution that assists the captain via a joystick and advanced software, integrated with onboard electronics and GPS.
The wallypower50 draws on a deep-V hull to offer stability at speed and the ability to cruise faster even in bigger seas, meaning more scope to enjoy everything the wallypower50 offers in more conditions.
It’s no coincidence that the original wallypower118 became an icon thanks to her revolutionary design and outstanding performance. Similarly, the wallypower50 embodies the same innovative spirit and sporty DNA, showcasing how Wally has successfully captured the essence of that original model and distil it into a new milestone model for the modern boater.
