WALLY ISLAND
A 99 metre super yacht which looks like a merchant ship is the
outcome, of Wally Design's creativity and genius in conjunction with
architect Mauro Sculli. It is a particular project structured on a
savings concept which allows to cut costs down to the equivalent of
building a 60 metre yacht. The motor yacht's design developed in
length as opposed to height produces greater stability at sea and
lends itself to ample solutions for the over 1.000 sq. metres to be
found at the bows such as the making of a tennis court, a mini
football field or a large garden with pool.
The turret astern of the yacht's centre line, designed in the likings
of an airport's control tower withholds three decks. The centre one,
comprising an office, a large saloon and a stateroom with two en-
suites, a king size bed and a walk in wardrobe, is entirely for the
owner. The deck above caters for the wheelhouse furnished with two
large sofas and a service bathroom plus two cabins with bathroom for
the captain and first officer. The lower deck of the turret hosts a
central dining room with two lateral areas to relax in. These decks
are accessed by two stairways respectively for the guests and crew or
by two lifts for the separate use of guests and crew.
Inside the vessel there are three other decks the lowest one is for
the engine room, fuel tanks and technical systems. The "Service &
Saloon deck" is for the galley and its store room, freezers, laundry
room, the 40 crew members' dining area and their twenty cabins, a ball
room, library and cinema. The main deck is reserved for the guests'
quarters formed by six "vip" cabins with two en-suites each and a sofa
which may be turned into another double bed. On this same deck there
is also an enormous saloon and fitness centre with sauna, massage
room, showers and a gym. The Wally Island offers a choice of solutions
for "short" hops that range from two 47' Wally Power boats,
watercrafts, two sailing boats and two cars.
