wallywind 110
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.
Ferretti Yachts 800
In contrast, the Ferretti Yachts 800 won recognition for the best new customisable design launched during the qualifying period. The jury admired its layout, ample galley space, and user-friendly features, noting that this series-produced boat offers extensive customisation options. Measuring 24.47 meters in length and a maximum beam of 5.91 meters, the Ferretti Yachts 800 meets various berthing regulations. It represents the new generation of the brand's fleet, characterised by elegant and timeless design that elevates the onboard experience. The various layout choices provide diverse configurations for the main deck, complemented by four cabins and accommodation for three crew members in the lower deck.
The Ferretti Yachts 800 offers impressive performance with two engine options: standard 1,550 HP MAN V12 engines achieving a top speed of 27 knots and a cruising speed of 15 knots, or optional 1,800 HP MAN V12 engines reaching 31 knots at top speed and 27 knots while cruising.
This model embodies Ferretti Yachts' forward-thinking vision, enhancing one of its most celebrated collections. It sets a new benchmark for comfort, balance, and style, showcasing the brand's signature elegance in every detail.

WALLYWIND110 TRANSFORMS MODERN SAILING
A GENUINE UPGRADE TO THE SUPERYACHTING LIFESTYLE
'proven performance and stability'
![]() |
The new Wallywind110, with its sleek design and signature Wally style, revolutionises modern sailing with proven performance and stability. Crafted from high-tech carbon fibre, it offers the perfect mix of open-air living, easy handling, and impressive speed.
Key features include a reverse sheer, long-fixed bowsprit, and a streamlined coach roof. The hull is finished in a classic sand grey. Underwater, the design features a fast, stable hull with twin rudders and a telescopic keel (4.50m – 6.95m), complementing its powerful sloop rig. A high modulus carbon mast by Hall Spars, coupled with ECSix multistrand carbon stays, sets the stage for thrilling upwind speed with a generous 660 square metres of main and jib sails in 3Di from North Sails. When sailing downwind, the total sail area expands to an impressive 1,283 square metres.
Timeless Simplicity
The Wally design embodies a modern, minimalist elegance. Despite the sleek exterior, the interior space is surprisingly generous. The layout includes four spacious cabins, with the owner’s suite situated forward alongside a VIP guest cabin, plus two identical guest cabins aft, all accessible via a short companionway from the saloon. Notably, the VIP cabin features flexible twin beds that can convert into a large double by sliding along a hidden track.
On deck
The large guest cockpit is completely insulated from the sailing controls, giving the option of well protected inward-facing seating, or sofas with a view facing out. There are generous lounging spaces for relaxation and socializing.
Elegant outdoor living is a fundamental part of the Wally philosophy, just as much as exhilarating performance. The wallywind110 embodies three decades of innovative thinking, elevating comfort and versatility to new heights. From relaxed dining at anchor under the bimini to lively gatherings on the expansive aft deck, the yacht is designed to deliver outstanding experiences on the water.
Wally conceived this boat as the next step also for an experienced owner of 80-90ft yachts seeking extra space and comfort. By offering a fourth guest cabin and accommodation for up to five crew members, the wallywind110 represents a genuine upgrade to the superyachting lifestyle.

WALLYTENDER48X INTRODUCED TO THE MIDDLE EAST
DUBAI INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW 19>23 FEBRUARY 2025
'Wally bring Innovation and Style with an absolute Showstopper'
![]() |
Wally is set to make its debut in the Middle East with the wallytender48X, which will be presented at the upcoming Dubai International Boat Show (from February 19 to 23). The supremely versatile day cruiser promises to be a showstopper with her blend of contemporary styling, inviting social spaces and the blistering performance of her outboard powertrain.
The wallytender48X stands out in her segment as the only boat offering fold-down bulwark sections as standard, expanding the swim platform for relaxation and socializing at anchor. Another exceptional feature is the retractable passerelle, which also functions as a swim ladder, included as standard for added convenience.
The deck layout is thoughtfully designed to ensure comfort for family and friends, with ample seating, sunbeds, and alfresco dining supported by a fully equipped galley. Cockpit seating can be adjusted to face either forward or aft toward the dining area, adapting to provide the best possible experience both under way and at anchor.
Additional highlights include a hidden anchoring system concealed beneath a flush-fitting bow hatch, operable via the helm station, and wallytender’s wraparound fender, offering an elegant and practical alternative to traditional bulky fenders.
The model on display in Dubai, has 4 Mercury’s state-of-the-art 450hp Verado R outboard engines. Combined with a proven hull design and lightweight carbon-fiber construction by the experts at Wally and Ferretti Group, the result is impressive: high top speeds and very low fuel consumption for extended range. Sea trials have achieved a pace in excess of 54 knots and a cruising speed of 36 knots with a range of 340 nautical miles.
With such outstanding performance, the wallytender48X perfectly complements the dynamic boating lifestyle of discerning Middle Eastern owners. Day trips or longer cruises are within easy reach, while the spacious and elegant lower deck suite – featuring carbon-fiber flooring with teak furniture and panels – ensures comfort is never compromised. With tilting outboards, the draft of the wallytender48X can be reduced to just 70cm (2’4”) when the engines are raised, suiting it to inshore use.
Beyond the performance benefits of outboard engines, the wallytender48X is also lightweight and easy to maintain. With the engines positioned outside the hull, a large aft storage space is freed up, and – as with the inboard model – the wallytender48X features user-friendly joystick controls for easy docking.
A common challenge with outboard boats is stern access, as banks of motors often hinder boarding or water entry. This is not an issue with the wallytender48X: Wally has ingeniously split the four engines and moved them outboard, allowing for central positioning of the retractable hydraulic boarding passerelle/swim ladder.
Wally is proud of what it has achieved with this outboard version of the wallytender48, maintaining her strong aesthetic identity and the many practical features found in the inboard model, all while catering to clients who prefer the outboard experience, offering top speeds and high-performance levels. The wallytender48X is making its debut in the Gulf region, yet it is ideally suited to both the local yachting culture and marine conditions.

WALLY WOWS - WORLD DEBUT - WALLYPOWER50 - DUDO 24
WALLY WOWS WITH WORLD DEBUT OF WALLYPOWER50
at Boot Düsseldorf 2024
![]() |
Ever since its first groundbreaking models, Wally has stood as a bridge from the present to the future of yacht design and boating. With the all-new wallypower50, which made her world debut at boot Düsseldorf 20-28 January 2024, the Wally and Ferretti Group teams have embraced that concept, skillfully 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 new 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.
"We're thrilled to introduce our latest masterpiece, the wallypower50, at Boot Düsseldorf this January. It's a proud moment for us to showcase this stunning model to the world," says Stefano de Vivo, Wally's Managing Director. "The wallypower50 is an extraordinary blend of design, engineering, and construction, seamlessly incorporating elements from Wally models into a sublime design. It's a true stroke of genius, embodying the best of both boat styles based on customer preferences. She's unequivocally a Wally in every sense."
Multiple profiles with model looks
The wallypower50 combines the more open design of the wallytenders with the more spacious areas of the wallypower58, with an extensive options list that mean you can define your wallypower50 to meet your operational wishes. 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 at the forefront of what we do, and what we do has always been at the forefront of the yachting industry,” says Luca Bassani, Founder and Chief Designer of Wally. “The wallypower50 is another perfect example of form and function coming together, where stylish lines do not come at the expense of dynamic performance but complement it. And the further you drill down into the details, the more of Wally you find, from our distinctive angular windshield design up top to the option of our Magic Portholes below.”
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 six 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 salon. A dining table with banquettes and further bench seating comfortably accommodates eight guests, with space for more on forward-facing bench seats plus the helm chairs. 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 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 berth, 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 luxurious and inviting studio apartment that’s perfect for couples.
“On deck and below deck, the wallypower50 really shows her true colours in terms of being able to meet the demands of any boater and any operating profile,” says De Vivo. “From tender to weekender, she can do it all.”
Life, accelerated
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, of course there’s a version for you.
The standard model 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.
For those who revel in real performance, there’s the wallypower50X. Offered in two variants, each with quad Mercury outboards, the wallypower50X multiplies the Wally factor and takes you for a serious blast. With the quad 400hp options, you’re looking at a 48-knot max with a range of 240 nautical miles. Step up to the quad 500hp option and watch the wallypower50X power to more than 50 knots.
It's not just about grunt, of course. The wallypower50 and wallypower50X draw 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 accident the original wallypower118 has become so iconic, thanks to her revolutionary looks and revelatory performance,” says Bassani. “And it’s no accident that the new wallypower50 shares that groundbreaking spirit and performance DNA, showing how we are able to capture the essence of that original model and distil it into a new milestone model for the modern boater.”

FERRETTI GROUP - NEW PROJECTS/WORLD PREMIERES
FERRETTI GROUP: THE FUTURE OF NAUTICAL EXCELLENCE
World Premieres: Riva El-Iseo, 1st full-electric model in the new E-Luxury segment & wallypower50, versatile & high-speed Wally weekender
![]() |
The Düsseldorf Boat Show, one of the yachting world’s most prestigious events and an excellent showcase for the latest innovations and trends in the industry, provides the backdrop for Ferretti Group’s press conference held today, Saturday January 20, to share the latest news and projects for 2024.
2023 was a particularly important year for Ferretti Group which, after closing financial 2022 with excellent results, completed the dual listing on Euronext Milan following their debut in Hong Kong. Ferretti Group is now a public company in every sense of the term, with over 50% of the share capital traded on the market, supported by qualified Italian and international investors.
“Ferretti Group's 2024 kicks off under the banner of innovation and sustainability, the two main coordinates for the future of yachting. El-Iseo, Riva’s first full-electric powerboat, is proof that the world’s most highly renowned shipyard is also the one that rises to and wins the challenges of today. Here at Düsseldorf, we also presented the world premiere of wallypower50, another groundbreaking addition to the Wally range,” said Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi during the Boot Düsseldorf press conference. “Sustainable development also means expanding our production capacity by creating spaces where people can work in the best possible conditions. With this in mind, in December we officially opened the new area in the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona, and we are making investments in the over 70,000 sqm production hub in Ravenna". Ferretti Group’s 2024 has only just begun and promises great things.
As well as seeing the company in an excellent economic and financial situation – as testified by data for the first nine months of 2023, reporting revenues of EUR 856.4 million, up 9.8% on the first nine months the previous year, and adjusted EBITDA of EUR 124.8 million, an increase of 17.7% on the first nine months of 2022 – 2023 was also a year of major new developments in terms of production capacity, with a 20% rise in global surface area as a result of recent redevelopments and acquisitions that added over 425.4 thousand square metres in the first half of 2023 (the total was 355.4 thousand square metres at the end of 2022).
All eyes remain on the upcoming world premieres, starting with: Riva El-Iseo, a fusion of evergreen elegance with latest-generation technology. After the presentation of the prototype in September 2022 at the Monaco Yacht Show, followed by successful completion of a cycle of complex technical and reliability tests, the official version of the first Riva model created for the E-Luxury segment is now ready for sale.
The German boat show also saw the world debut of the new wallypower50. This high-speed model in the wallypower range is also available in an outboard version – the wallypower50X – that has an even higher top speed but without affecting outstanding living comfort. Wally is also presenting a series of new sailing yachts in 2024, with the announcement of two new launches this summer: the wallywind110 cruiser-racer, a perfect combination of bluewater cruiser and high-performance racing yacht, and the wallyrocket51, the one-design pure racer created to be a winner in a wide range of competitions thanks to innovative features, ultra-light displacement and a high-performance hull. Also in the spotlight was the wallywhy range with the latest new model, wallywhy100, which was presented at a private preview in Venice last December and will be on display at the upcoming boat shows.
The main novelty from Ferretti Yachts is the new Ferretti Yachts INFYNITO 80. Part of the innovative and sustainable INFYNITO range, this yacht offers two versions of the flybridge – open or semi-closed – and features versatile spaces. At Pershing, development work continues on the GTX80 project that will join the flagship this year.
