The Wallypower 118 is one of a kind having with its vertical bow, lateral air inlets, as well as its angular deck superstructure.

The sleek minimalist design of the 118 WallyPower wasn’t without practical purpose. It was the result of an extensive research and development program. This included testing of the water tank at the SSPA facility in Goteborg, Sweden, and also wind tunnel testing at the Ferrari facility in Maranello, Italy.

Technical solutions contribute to the yachts appeal, like the superstructure design Wallypower 118 that features flat surfaces in order to be transparent. The yacht features all the spacious comforts normally associated with mega yachts together with the seafaring characteristics of coast-guard boats.

According to “The World’s 100 Largest Yachts” (2005), the Rising Sun is the world’s second largest yacht. Originally meant to be only 120 meters in length, Larry changed his mind at some point and instead had it made it 138 meters long, because, as rumor has it, he wanted his boat to be bigger than the 128-meter Octopus owned by Paul Allen of Microsoft.

The Rising Sun was built by Lürssen in Bremen, Germany, and constructed by Jon Bannenberg. Neither words nor photographs can do justice to the magnificence and beauty of this luxury yacht.
