Outboards change the stern without giving up deck space

Wally developed the 58X around an outboard installation while retaining the folding bulwarks that define the inboard version. The arrangement keeps the aft social area open instead of allowing the engines to consume the usable cockpit width.

Removing the inboard machinery also creates additional storage below the deck. That gives owners more room for equipment and luggage while keeping the day-boat character that makes the model relevant to warm-weather cruising and resort use.

The accommodation remains suitable for weekends away

The 58X keeps the flexible lower-deck arrangement of the wallypower58, allowing one or two couples to stay aboard rather than treating the boat as a pure day platform. This gives owners more freedom to extend an itinerary without depending on a hotel or mothership.

The interior remains secondary to the outdoor programme, but that is a deliberate choice rather than a limitation. The boat is designed so most waking hours can be spent on deck while air-conditioned private space remains available when guests want a quieter environment.

Cannes keeps the model inside Wally's active commercial range

Wally's 2026 Cannes presence reinforces the fact that the 58 family remains part of the builder's current motor-yacht strategy. The event places the model alongside newer products while giving owners and prospects another opportunity to compare the range in the water.

For Luxury Yacht Guide readers, the important point is continuity. The 58X is not simply a launch-season curiosity; it remains commercially relevant as Wally expands its motor-yacht portfolio with additional power and tender models.

The design targets speed without losing versatility

Wally's official material positions the 58X as a fast, open yacht with the same practical emphasis on boarding, swimming and social deck space found throughout the range. The hydraulic passerelle is retained even with the outboards, preserving easy access to the water.

That balance helps the model serve several roles. It can operate as an independent weekender, a high-performance day yacht or a substantial superyacht companion without requiring an owner to accept a completely different layout for each purpose.
