International Spotlight: 43wallytender X
Explore new horizons with the new 43wallytender X, bringing sporty style a multipurpose day boat
Normalising stylish practicality
Part of the Ferretti Group, Wally’s new outboard version of the 43wallytender, the 43wallytender X, combines speed, style and premium features in one package. The boat features the cool and futuristic style that Wally is known for while also shifting to the flexibility requirements that owners of today expect. A protected cockpit with a wraparound glass windshield, a cabin with bathroom and separate shower, side-opening bulwarks, a protective T-top — with optional battery pack running the Seakeeper stabiliser powered by solar panels to be mounted on the T-top — and a teak desk are all standard on the new model.
On this outboard version, owners can reach enhanced speeds and sporty performance, and the yacht can be finished with Wally’s exclusive dark grey hue for that extra sporty feel. With standard 40kt speeds, and optional 50kt, owners will be surprised at the amount of manoeuvrability and ease of cruising the 43wallytender X provides, especially with the shallow draft, meaning owners can cruise wherever they desire. It also has joystick controls, dynamic positioning and autopilot.
Build wise, the boat is constructed in advanced composites with carbon fibre, and has a 21-degree, deep-V deadrise which provides the seaworthiness owners now want as standard. It also has a modular aft deck configuration which suits a range of purposes, and owners can opt for a larger sun pad for more easy-access storage under the lounging space. If adventure is your thing, attachments for a ski pole and other accessories can be added. Comfort while at sea is a main feature of the 43wallytender X, with optional inside-outside air conditioning, while there is a large cooler box in the boat’s seating. For those hot or cool days, below deck also has climate-controlled cabins.
The selling point of the 43wallytender X is its versatility. Wally Managing Director, Stefano de Vivo, said the boat serves a variety of purposes, including a hotel shuttle, an all-day charter or even a scuba platform.
“It could be a large yacht looking for the master of versatility to add to its tenders fleet, a family in search of the ideal day boat to take them to the sandbar, or an adventurous owner looking with water sports passion,” de Vivo said.
The vessel debuted in America at Palm Beach International Boat Show in 2021, with its European premiere at the Venice Boat Show.
