SAILING INTO THE FUTURE WITH THE WALLYPOWER58
The Wallypower58 is Wally's most refined expression of the motor yacht formula that made the brand famous: a 17.3-metre vessel that combines race-derived carbon construction, pillarless panoramic glazing and Volvo Penta IPS performance into a package that feels as at home anchored in a superyacht marina as it does at 38 knots crossing open water. Inheriting its design DNA directly from the legendary wallypower118, the Wallypower58 brings the same futuristic DNA to an owner-operated scale.
What defines the Wallypower58 design?
Wally's signature aesthetic centres on the elimination of visual clutter. The Wallypower58's distinctive glass-and-carbon dome superstructure flows into wrap-around glazing without a single visible pillar, creating an unbroken panorama from the helm. An angular windscreen frames the forward view while protecting the cockpit from spray at speed. The hull, built from a composite of carbon fibre and fibreglass, measures 56 feet 9 inches in length overall with a beam of 16 feet 5 inches, and draws just 1.6 metres fully laden. Every surface reads as intentional: there is nothing structural that does not also contribute to the visual line.
Deck layout and indoor-outdoor living
The cockpit is organised around a polygonal dining table and a deep wraparound sofa. The galley options allow buyers to specify the configuration that suits their cruising style, whether that means a full cooking installation or a drinks and storage layout. Wally's signature fold-down deck wings extend the aft sunpad area when at anchor, while a retractable electrically operated awning integrated flush into the deck provides shade on demand without altering the yacht's profile underway. The convertible passerelle and bathing ladder combine into a single unit, keeping the transom clean when not in use.
Magic Portholes and the below-deck experience
Below deck, the Wallypower58 accommodates two cabins: a master and a guest. Wally's patented Magic Portholes replace conventional hull windows with camera-relayed exterior views displayed on interior screens, preserving the continuity of the hull's smooth lines while flooding the cabins with visual connection to the water. A master head and day head complete the below-deck arrangement. Natural light reinforces the sense of space despite the compact footprint.
Performance: 38 knots and 320-nautical-mile range
Two Volvo Penta IPS drives power the Wallypower58, with buyers choosing between a standard 550 hp configuration and an optional 600 hp upgrade. Either option delivers a top speed of 38 knots, and at a 32-knot cruise the yacht covers 320 nautical miles before refuelling. The IPS steerable pod drives replace conventional shafts and rudders, improving fuel efficiency and reducing vibration.
