Sensation: wally island realizes all your dreams
What about a mega yacht where you comfortably live onboard like on your own estate? Where you have a piece of land that you can use to play your favorite sport, to grow your favorite plants, to enjoy your favorite outdoor activity? A megayacht that you move around to your favorite destinations without the burden to get into the port to refuel? And that is 99 meters (325 feet) long but costs like a 60 meter (200 feet)?
Wally Island is the latest breakthrough project developed by the WallyDesign© department to have a mega yacht with all the comforts and amenities to live onboard full time, that is completely independent and self-sufficient, and features improved nautical characteristics compared to those of similar size yachts.
An additional design concept is that the building costs are generated by the volumes: Wally Island is developed on the length rather than on the height, thus reducing the price and at the same time improving the stability, resulting sleeker and featuring a huge forward deck area of 1,000 m2 (10,764 sq2) that can be devoted to different uses (tennis court, mini soccer court, garden with swimming pool, heli pads…).
The price of Wally Island is very competitive also because she is characterized by a “commercial” look: with no fairing and paint, the mega yacht resembles a tanker, and the rough finishing contributes to the unique appeal of this mega yacht.
The huge fuel tanks (750,000 l – 198,129US gal) are located in the lower part of the yacht and provide for 15,000 nm range at cruising speed (equivalent to five years of navigation!).
The superstructure of Wally Island is AFT and is designed in the style of an airport control tower. It features three decks: upper deck, owner deck and bridge deck. Three more decks are in the hull: main deck, cabin deck, service & saloon deck. The lower deck is for the engine room, the systems, and the fuel tanks.
The AFT cockpit deck is dedicated to the outdoor storage of the tenders (two 47 WallyPowers –13.6 m / 45’) and all the water toys. The area has enough space for two sailing boats and two or more tender cars. Two cranes can easily move all these items.
The interiors feature the main saloon, the living/dining room; the guest accommodation (owners’ suite + 6 double king size suites that can be transformed into 12 suites for 24 guests); the library, cinema, SPA, wellness and fitness area; the service and crew area; the steering/navigation area.
Another revolutionary feature of Wally Island is that the guest and crew cabins are fitted inside the topsides. This new concept provide for two independent service corridors, and for an easier construction of the cabins.
Even if the high performance is not the main target of Wally Island, the general technical characteristics are at top level. Comfort, extended range, and high and constant cruising speed are impressive. The foreseen Azipod electrical propulsion system, the Zero Speed stabilizer and the dimensions of the boat give an extra comfort new aim for megayachts.
