Fast planing hulls had always been a feature of Wally’s power yachts – until we designed the wallyace line. Drawing on the naval architecture expertise of the celebrated Laurent Giles, the wallyace500 is our first yacht to have a steel hull and aluminium superstructure for operations at displacement speeds. Maxing out at 16 knots, the yacht has an ocean-straddling range of 5,000nm at 12 knots.

In other respects, the yacht is immediately identifiable as a Wally. It embodies the brand’s famous inside-outside lifestyle to perfection, with the sleek, minimal lines that are typical of all our boats. Glass features heavily in the exterior design, from bulwarks to the full-height windows which seem to support the upper and sun decks. Overhangs taper far back over the deck below.
