In a momentous celebration of maritime excellence, the Ferretti Group has achieved a remarkable double victory at the esteemed BOAT International Design and Innovation Awards 2026.

The wallywind110 has clinched accolades in the category of Outstanding Exterior Design – Sailing Yachts, a testament to Wally’s preeminence in crafting high-performance sailing vessels. Meanwhile, the Ferretti Yachts 800 has garnered the prestigious title of Best New Series, highlighting the innovative spirit of the brand. The awards were announced on Sunday, February 1, against the stunning backdrop of Kitzbühel, Austria, a fitting venue for such a display of nautical sophistication.

The jury awarded wallywind110 for its exceptional teak craftsmanship and distinctive design, emphasising the second hull in the 110 series. They praised the innovative cockpit layout—60 square meters devoid of traditional side decks—allowing for versatile seating and usage options. The yacht effortlessly shifts from cruiser to racer, featuring removable deck furniture and adaptable tables to enhance both relaxation and streamlined aesthetics. Launched in 2025, the 33.42-meter wallywind110 showcases the brand's design philosophy, merging advanced engineering with contemporary lines. Its carbon fiber hull and superstructure, along with a teak deck, ensure a lightweight yet sturdy platform, balancing performance with elegance. Onboard, it accommodates up to nine guests in four staterooms, including a flexible cabin and dedicated office space, served by a crew of five. Its spacious outdoor areas, such as Wally’s signature sea terrace, deliver refined aesthetics and versatile living spaces for exceptional experiences both underway and at anchor.

This accolade reinforces Wally's status within the Ferretti Group, symbolizing innovation and excellence in the sailing yacht segment.
