Wally founder Luca Bassani has always been ahead of the game. Like all innovators, he stirs emotions. Traditionalists shake their heads at his radical ideas. Others hail him as a visionary who upsets the rules of yacht design. One thing is certain: Some 30 years after he established the brand, it’s hard to imagine a world without Wally Yachts. Ferretti Group, one of the world’s most prolific builders of luxury yachts, acquired Wally in 2019.
