WALLYPOWER50X IS A WEEKEND CRUISER WITH SUPERYACHT ATTITUDE
The Wallypower50X is Wally Yachts' first outboard-driven take on its iconic 50-foot platform — a luxury dayboat that carries the brand's signature clean-lined aesthetic into a more accessible, versatile format. Unveiled at the 2026 Miami International Boat Show, it is a boat that can shift roles smoothly: a stylish day platform, a compact getaway yacht, or a premium tender supporting a larger superyacht program. All without sacrificing the unmistakably Wally silhouette that has defined the brand for over two decades.
What Makes the Wallypower50X Different from Other Luxury Dayboats?
Wally Yachts occupies a rare position in the marine world: a brand where design is the product, not a feature of it. The 50X inherits the family's defining elements — concealed anchoring hardware, minimal deck clutter, and the distinctive "magic portholes" that bring light below without interrupting the clean exterior lines. At 15.40 meters LOA with a 4.50-meter beam, the proportions are commanding without being unwieldy.
What sets the 50X apart is its outboard configuration, which opens the cockpit and stern area in a way that inboard-powered Wally designs cannot. The social usability of the deck layout is the result: space to gather, dine, and move naturally. A kitchenette handles simple meal and drink service. For overnight use, a double berth, lounge seating, and a full head with separate shower extend its range beyond a day platform. Maximum capacity is 12 persons.
Performance: How Fast Does the Wallypower50X Go?
The standard configuration of the wallypower50X uses triple Mercury Verado V10 425 HP outboard engines, delivering a top speed of 50 knots and a cruising speed of 34 knots. An optional Mercury Racing V8 500 HP package pushes that figure to 54 knots, placing it firmly in the performance dayboat category. Unladen displacement is 13.5 tonnes.
As Yachting Magazine reported from the Miami debut, the 50X is positioned as a chase boat, a day cruiser, and a luxe weekender — all within the same hull. The Ferretti Group engineering infrastructure that now backs Wally ensures that the ambition is matched by build quality.
A Superyacht Attitude in a Manageable Package
The broader context of the wallypower50X is what Wally calls the "performance-first" aesthetic: a design philosophy that treats engineering as a visible, integrated element of the product story rather than infrastructure to be hidden. The 50X does not look like other luxury motor yachts because it is not trying to. It looks like a Wally, which means it looks like nothing else on the water.
