You are referring to the 118 Wallypower



It was conceived by the same group -- Wally Yachts.

WHY is a collaboration between Wally and Hermès.

Thought it has similar design cues.

Do they plan to actually build this yacht?

I don't know -- I guess they're hoping to Piobaire ...if they can find a buyer.


Wally has dreamed up other huge yachts too.

The massive beam makes it seem a little ungainly. Where would you moor something like that? It wouldn't fit anywhere.

It's funny you posted this. I've been talking to these guys about building one of these as my back-up yacht in case my regular one has to go into drydock for some reason.

odds are pretty good that one of these ends up as a Somali pirate warlord's "flagship"

These things make no economic sense at all ...even for big timers.

They are insanely expensive to run and maintain -- it is all about fantasy, status, and ego.
