WHY200: the first full-wide-body superyacht that combines design, space and speed

Yet again #wally has pushed forward the boundaries of possibility creating a yacht that has never been seen before in the history of yachting. WHY200 is the first unit of the new WHY range, which made its World debut at Cannes Yachting Festival 2021, is going to leave an indelible mark on the world of yacht #design.
 
The innovative motor yacht combining the comfort and space of a larger displacement yacht with the speed and performance of a semi-displacement, was developed by #wally #design team led by Luca Bassani, jointly with the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, working with Laurent Giles NA Ltd for naval architecture and Studio A. Vallicelli & C for #interiordesign.

"We are very proud of WHY200, a yacht that was a bit of a gamble but that today rewards us with a result that exceeds our wildest expectations," says Stefano de Vivo, #wally Managing Director"With its widebody #design, this 200 GT yacht offers far larger volumes compared to traditional motorboats, plus a living space and stability that are definitely greater than any competitor's. It essentially provides all the advantages of a catamaran but has none of the limitations, namely the lack of volume linked to the main central hull and mooring problems. This innovative yacht in terms of performance and stability was born from the brilliant vision of #wally, from the considerable experience in building hulls of the Ferretti Group, which has been designing its hulls 'in-house' for over 20 years, and from the collaboration with Laurent Giles Naval Architects. WHY200 is a yacht that will stand out on the international scene both for the essential #design that distinguishes #wally yachts, and for its innovative concept, which can offer a different sailing experience to the owner. It is the ideal yacht to freely and safely regain possession of one's space with family and friends."
 
"Like all Wallys, which for 25 years have been ahead of their time and the setters of new standards in yachting #design, the new compact #superyacht WHY200 carries the 'Wow' factor engraved in its DNA," comments Luca Bassani, #wally Founder and Chief Designer"The new WHY200 expresses all its innovative power through new architectural elements, which represent a break with the past and with the typical clichés of a motor yacht. Ferretti Group made it possible to realise a concept that had been close to my heart for some time, believing in the success of a bold #design that will improve the owner's experience on board and represent a turning point in the motor yacht market."
