"We are very proud of WHY200, a yacht that was a bit of a gamble but that today rewards us with a result that exceeds our wildest expectations," says Stefano de Vivo, Wally Managing Director. "With its widebody design, this 200 GT yacht offers far larger volumes compared to traditional motorboats, plus a living space and stability that are definitely greater than any competitor’s. It is the ideal yacht to freely and safely regain possession of one's space with family and friends."
Main salon
The first unit, displaying an exclusive "Wally Silver" colour, has a four-cabin layout: the master cabin with two separate bathrooms on the main deck, a VIP and two guest cabins on the lower deck. One of the key features is a spectacular 4.7-meter-high glazed bow housing a 37 sq. m master suite overlooking the sea, with an uninterrupted 270-degree view of the horizon.
Master suite
This cabin stands out also for its exceptional noise levels thanks to the positioning of the engine room which is located at the opposite end of the boat.
Skylounge
The eye-catching upper deck has a futuristic glass and carbon dome and the extended, structural top with no supporting pillars is a masterpiece of design and engineering for its exceptional stability and strength.
Upper deck cockpit
Thanks to the 5G wireless network connection with home automation control, guests are able to comfortably manage all the audio/video systems via mobile devices, both outside and inside the yacht.
Main deck
Through Naviop's integrated system, they will also be able to check navigation data, keeping the yacht's progress and parameters constantly under control. The first unit features a state-of-the-art 55 inch TV in the upper living room and a 5.1 Premium sound system on the main and upper decks, while a sophisticated Sonance sound system serves the outdoor areas.
Wheel house
The WHY200 has the folding beach club bulwarks, that not only allow access to the sea on three sides (according to a radically innovative concept), but also expand the living area to 32 sq. m, transforming it into a true terrace over the water, with size and features that make all competitors, even larger ones, pale in comparison.
Beach club
In addition, WHY200 boasts two garages with a storage capacity never seen before on yachts of this size, capable of accommodating a 4.05m jet tender, wave runner, seabob, paddleboard and all manner of water toys.

Thanks to four Volvo Penta D-13 IPS 1350 engines 1000 hp each, WHY200 can cruise at 23 knots top speed.

"The new WHY200 expresses all its innovative power through new architectural elements, which represent a break with the past and with the typical clichés of a motor yacht. Ferretti Group made it possible to realise a concept that had been close to my heart for some time, believing in the success of a bold design that will improve the owner's experience on board and represent a turning point in the motor yacht market,” comments Luca Bassani, Wally Founder and Chief Designer.
