Like its bigger siblings, the Wally WHY200 and 150, this new Wally WHY100’s designation references its approximate volume in gross tons rather than its length overall. While the exact length of this new reverse-bowed two-decker has not yet been revealed, it is thought to be around 70ft (21m).

For comparison, the Wally WHY150, a raised pilothouse design due to make its debut at the Venice boat show in May, has an LOA of 79ft (24m) and a beam of 22ft 3in (6.78m) while the two-year-old trideck Wally WHY200 has an LOA of 89ft (27m) and a beam of 25ft 1in (7.66m).

While the 100’s modern exterior and naval architecture are credited to Wally and the Ferretti Group’s centralised in-house design teams in Monaco and Forli (Italy), the interior scheme is down to Andrea Vallicelli’s Rome-based studio.

Outwardly, this one is perhaps more worthy of a crossover label than hardtop/coupe, which on paper at least is the most obvious pigeonhole. As with most of the various Wallypower models present and past, the superstructure majors on heavily raked dark glass and includes several huge skylights or sunroofs in that coachroof.

As well as looking futuristic, all that glass helps to blur the boundaries between outside and inside spaces. Check out how far forward the helm position is, too. It is much closer to the bow than we would normally see on yachts of…
