Wally Yachts is a yacht brand headquartered in Monaco.[1]
Founded by Italian entrepreneur Luca Bassani in 1994, Wally started out with sailing boats and then branched out into designing motoryachts, including the 118 WallyPower.[2]
Wally launched sailing yachts ranging from the Wallynano 37feet day sailer to the 166feet flybridge carbonfiber sloop Better Place.
Wally is known[3] for being a pioneer of carbon fiber as a yacht-building material.
On 31 January 2019 Ferretti Group acquired Wally Yachts.[4]
In 2005, the 118 WallyPower was featured in the film The Island, starring Ewan McGregor. The yacht appeared to be a distant memory in the mind of McGregor's character. A 2004 Top Gear UK TV episode also featured the 118 WallyPower.
