Wally: the world leading builder of advanced composite large yachts

Yachting Intelligence • 5 August 2009 • Comments (0)

Wally is the World leading builder of advanced composite large yachts. The company was founded in 1993 introducing a new type of boat that in few years successfully changed the entire concept of sailing cruisers.

In 2001 Wally entered the motor yacht market with three different projects, sharing the same concept of combining technology and design to obtain a new type of boat, as it did with the sail.

In 2000 the company diversified the market with Wallyski, a snow ski entirely built in carbon fiber, applying the know-how and technology developed for the super yacht construction.

As a result of this intense activity, as per July 2009 Wally has built yachts to a total length of 7,453 feet – 2,272 meters, and currently has under construction another 1,086 feet – 331 meters, making a grand total of 8,539 ft – 2,603 meters.
