Builder Wally Yachts

The history of the company

Wally Yachts was founded in Monaco in 1994 by Italian entrepreneur and passionate yachtsman Luca Bassani Antivari. The company changed the concept of building cruising yachts and created its own ultra-modern style that quickly became iconic. Originally Wally specialized in the design of sailboats, however, after a short period of time the company also blew up the market with an unusual motor yacht design.

Today Wally is recognized worldwide for its innovative design and state-of-the-art carbon fibre construction technology.

One of the most famous models of the company - 118 Wally Power Galeocerdo, built in 2003 - received the Millennium Yacht Design Award in the category of the Model of the Third Millennium. She is also the only yacht presented at the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco in 2004/05.

Sailing projects include Better Place, a 50 metre sailing superyacht built in 2015, which was the world's largest carbon composite sloop at the time.

In early 2019, Wally became part of the Ferretti Group. The latter intends to invest more than €70 million in brand development and new projects Wally.
