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.

While wallowing in complete luxury, guests are can cruise for up to 60 knots whether in calm or rough water. The clean, slick lines of the yacht were made prominent by the absence of visible cleats, mooring winches, radar antenna, TV dome or anchor system.
An innovative interceptor system tailors the boat’s trim to further improve performance and comfort in any sea condition.
