The design deliberately maximises the sub-24m envelope

Wally publishes an overall length of 23.99 metres and a maximum beam of 6.78 metres, dimensions chosen to create unusually high internal volume without crossing the 24-metre threshold. The resulting 150GT figure is substantial for a yacht of this overall length.

That volume allows the builder to introduce arrangements normally associated with larger yachts, including a forward owner's suite on the main deck. Large areas of glazing and a high bow turn the cabin into one of the defining architectural features of the design.

Main-deck headroom reaches 2.5 metres

The central saloon uses floor-to-ceiling glass and approximately 2.5 metres of headroom, creating a space that Wally compares more closely with a loft than a conventional motor-yacht saloon. Flush decking is intended to connect this interior directly with the aft cockpit.

A large sundeck adds another major exterior social zone, with dining and bar facilities positioned above the enclosed main deck. This vertical stacking is one of the ways the design extracts more usable area from a hull that remains below 24 metres.

Triple IPS power produces a 23-knot maximum

The technical sheet lists standard Volvo IPS1200 propulsion with optional IPS1350 units, while the published maximum speed is 23 knots and cruising speed is 20 knots. Fuel capacity is 9,000 litres, reflecting the yacht's substantial displacement and systems load.

The model is therefore not intended to behave like a lightweight performance yacht despite using a planing hull. Its design emphasis remains on space, manoeuvrability and comfort, with speed sufficient for efficient coastal repositioning rather than record-setting performance.

Four guest cabins sit within an unusually large volume

Wally lists four guest cabins plus two standard crew cabins and capacity for up to twenty people aboard under the stated classification. The arrangement provides clear separation between owner, guests and crew despite the sub-24-metre overall length.

For LYG readers, the wallywhy150 is significant because it stretches the architectural possibilities of the category without leaving it. Very few production yachts combine 23.99 metres, 150GT, a main-deck owner's cabin and this level of crew separation in one platform.
