The WallyPower 50 epitomizes modern design and advanced engineering, setting itself 20 years ahead of its time. Recently showcased at the Dusseldorf Boat Show 2024, this exquisite craft is the first of its kind, boasting innovative features and stunning aesthetics.
Exterior and Design
The WallyPower 50 stands out with its striking exterior, defined by a vertical bow and a revolutionary anchor system that preserves its clean lines. The boat's design is angular and geometric, devoid of guardrails, enhancing its sleek profile. Sharp, gill-like air inlets and folding balconies on both sides add to its futuristic look. The hull lacks traditional windows, instead featuring cameras to provide an unobstructed exterior view. The reconstituted teak decking not only looks elegant but is also a more sustainable choice.
The sunbeds, located on either side of a central walkway, are positioned on the engine hatch, allowing for easy adjustment to create a backrest or a flat sunbed. The hard top, made from lightweight carbon fiber, adds to the boat’s sleek aesthetics while keeping the upper weight low. The integrated carbon fiber table, with its matte non-slip finish, showcases Wally’s commitment to combining form and function.
Performance and Engine
Powered by twin Volvo IPS 650 engines, each producing 480 horsepower, the WallyPower 50 achieves a top speed of around 36 knots. For those seeking even more power, an outboard version, the WallyPower X, will feature quadruple 500 horsepower Mercury outboards, reaching speeds over 50 knots.
The innovative design extends to the engine room, which is accessible via a hatch that reveals the twin engines. The reconstituted teak decking, though sustainable, is robust and aesthetically pleasing, highlighting the boat’s luxurious yet practical approach.
Cockpit and Helm
The cockpit is designed for both relaxation and functionality, featuring twin sunbeds, wraparound seating, and a fridge tucked under one side for convenience. Air conditioning outlets are discreetly placed to ensure comfort even on hot days. The folding balconies, another Wally innovation, enhance the deck space, creating a seamless connection with the water.
At the helm, two iconic split seats in carbon fiber and high-end upholstery provide a comfortable and secure driving position. The new carbon fiber wheel design, small and sporty, adds a touch of sophistication. The dashboard, with its carbon fiber elements, houses all essential controls, including the Volvo throttles and joystick for precise maneuvering. The absence of a central mullion in the windscreen ensures an unobstructed view, emphasizing Wally’s attention to detail.
Interior and Accommodation
Inside, the Wally WallyPower 50 continues to impress with a carbon fiber staircase and floor, leading to an open-plan layout designed for luxurious weekend getaways. In the master cabin, instead of the usual windows, large displays have been installed, which show video footage from the external cameras. Ample storage is cleverly concealed behind fabric panels and mirrors, ensuring a clutter-free space.
The minimalist galley includes a microwave, fridge, and cocktail set, catering to the needs of a relaxed weekend on the water. The heads compartment boasts a high-spec design with a matte black tap, a Corian effect sink, and a carbon fiber toilet, emphasizing the boat's luxury and attention to detail.
Conclusion
The WallyPower 50 is a testament to Wally’s innovative design and superior craftsmanship. This boat not only meets but exceeds the expectations of modern yachting enthusiasts, setting a new standard for future designs.
