The WallyPower 118 is a 35.97-metre high-performance motor yacht created for owners seeking superyacht-scale accommodation combined with exceptional speed and distinctive Italian design. With its sharp vertical bow, low-profile glass superstructure and lightweight composite construction, the WallyPower 118 remains one of the most recognisable performance yachts in its size range.
This model is powered by three DDC TF50 gas turbines producing a combined output of approximately 16,800 hp, supported by two auxiliary Cummins diesel engines. The propulsion system delivers power through waterjets, allowing the yacht to reach an estimated maximum speed of around 60 knots under suitable operating conditions. A cruising speed of approximately 40 knots gives the WallyPower 118 performance far beyond that of most conventional motor yachts of a similar length.
Is the WallyPower 118 Available for Sale?
The WallyPower 118 is an exceptionally rare yacht rather than a conventional high-volume production model. Publicly advertised examples may therefore be limited, and availability can change depending on private sales, off-market opportunities and the location of individual vessels.
Prospective buyers should contact Yachttrading to confirm whether a WallyPower 118 is currently available. Our team can also help identify comparable Wally yachts and other high-performance motor yachts in the 100- to 130-foot category when no suitable WallyPower 118 is publicly listed.
WallyPower 118 Price
The most commonly quoted historical price for the triple-gas-turbine WallyPower 118 is approximately US$33 million. Contemporary reports have also placed its original cost at around US$26.7 million, so the exact new-build figure should be treated as a historical estimate rather than a current asking price.
The WallyPower 118 is an exceptionally rare yacht, and any current market value would depend on the vessel’s condition, turbine and engine hours, maintenance records, refit history, equipment specification and availability. Contact Yachttrading for current asking-price information or assistance locating a privately marketed WallyPower 118.
Performance and Propulsion
The defining feature of the WallyPower 118 is its gas-turbine and waterjet propulsion system. Three DDC TF50 gas turbines provide the yacht’s high-speed capability, while two auxiliary Cummins diesel engines support lower-speed operation and manoeuvring requirements.
Performance figures should be treated as approximate because actual speed and range depend on displacement, fuel load, weather, sea conditions and the mechanical configuration of the individual yacht. Published figures for this model commonly place cruising speed at around 40 knots and maximum speed at approximately 60 knots, with a high-speed range of about 380 nautical miles.
Exterior Design and Construction
The WallyPower 118 has a design that differs substantially from a traditional flybridge or displacement yacht. Its vertical bow, angular hull profile and dark glass superstructure create a low, streamlined appearance, while the deep-V planing hull is designed to support stability and control at high speeds.
Fibreglass and carbon-fibre composite materials help reduce structural weight without sacrificing the strength required for offshore operation. Deck equipment and technical elements are integrated into the yacht’s exterior profile to preserve its clean, minimalist appearance.
Interior and Accommodation
The yacht’s two-deck layout includes three guest cabins, a main salon, a galley and five bathrooms. Depending on the configuration of the individual vessel, accommodation is generally suitable for up to six guests, supported by separate spaces for the captain and professional crew.
The interior follows the same minimalist approach as the exterior, using open sightlines, large glazed surfaces and a restrained contemporary layout. Buyers should verify the exact cabin arrangement, crew accommodation and interior specification of any particular WallyPower 118, as equipment and layouts may have changed through refits or owner modifications.
What to Check Before Buying a WallyPower 118
A buyer considering a WallyPower 118 should arrange a specialist technical survey and a detailed inspection of the gas turbines, auxiliary engines, waterjets, composite structure and onboard systems. Particular attention should be paid to turbine hours, maintenance intervals, service documentation, replacement-part availability and previous refit work.
Operating costs may be materially higher than those of a conventional diesel-powered yacht of a similar length. Buyers should therefore assess expected fuel consumption, specialist engineering support, insurance requirements, crew experience, berthing arrangements and annual maintenance costs before completing a purchase.
