Just about anyone who's anyone has 3 helipads on their yacht now
Just about anyone who's anyone has 3 helipads on their yacht now

Wally announce the ultimate live aboard, all 99 metres of it. Those millionaire's living in New York or Beijing, that are destined to have waterside properties according to projections in Al Gore's documentary, could have a solution from Italian designers Wally, with a project they are calling WallyIsland. No it's not the latest Simon Cowell creation, but almost a James Bond one. However instead of seeing the family residence slowly disappear into an imminent rising tide, Wally have a solution. A 99m live aboard, for those with a multi millions or two stuffed down the back of the sofa, called WallyIsland.

It’s going to be kind of a floating island, so you can move your piece of land wherever you want whenever you like
Luca Bassani Antivari, Wally Executive

Luca Bassani Antivari of Wally has been talking of a James Bond style floating island for awhile now. Now the idea has been launched and he's betting that the mega rich might just want a floating palace / island isolated from the rest of the world with the advantage of mobility. For instance, the huge fuel tanks (750,000 l – 198,129US gal) are located in the lower part of the yacht and provide for 15,000 nm range at cruising speed can keep the vessel going for up t five years.

The numbers read like a supertanker being 99m long and having a beam of 18m! The interiors feature the main saloon, the living/dining room; the guest accommodation (owners’ suite + 6 double king size suites that can be transformed into 12 suites for 24 guests); the library, cinema, SPA, wellness and fitness area; the service and crew area; the steering/navigation area.
