Wally 45

Onboard the Wally 45

The Wally 45 is built for speed and clean lines rather than volume, and it shows the moment you step aboard: a low, sculpted deck, a cockpit designed for sitting close together rather than spreading out, and a hull that holds its line well when the afternoon breeze picks up along an open stretch of coast. At 13 metres she carries up to 10 guests, with 10 cabins arranged below for those who want the option of staying aboard rather than shuttling back to shore.

She suits a small group that wants the day to move at its own pace: a run out from the coast for a swim stop away from the crowded bays, a slow return past the cliffs as the light drops, lunch taken on deck rather than at a table ashore. Couples celebrating quietly, a family sharing one boat instead of two tenders, or a handful of friends splitting a day charter all find the layout works without feeling cramped or over-arranged.

Because she sits in the day-boat category, the Wally 45 is best matched to single-day or half-day charters along the coast rather than long offshore legs, and her Europe base makes short-notice bookings and regional route planning straightforward. Guest numbers, cabin use and the shape of the day are worked out directly with the broker before departure, so the boat is set up for how the group actually intends to use it, not a fixed template.
