“My favourite products are those made by Mother Nature, or those inspired by Her and made for Her. That's why I love the Wallys and I recommend them."
The 47 WallyPower is the two-cabin cruiser developed on the hull-form of the WallyTender, resulting in a fast and simple, comfortable, safe and stylish 47-foot (14.30-meter) motor boat. It features a large deck, with a sheltered area for the navigation/steering console and the living area is equipped with a bimini top.
This shaded area has a dining table that will comfortably seat six to eight guests, while the forward and aft areas of the non-slip teak deck have sunpads. Guest accommodation is in two separate cabins, the double having a full-size bed and ample storage. The simple interior design combines modern carbon-fibre with classic natural teak and white ceilings. There is a fully-equipped galley and large bathroom with shower.
A fuel tank capacity of 2,000 litres (528 US gal) feeds the two 880 HP diesel engines (driving KaMeWa waterjets), and gives a range of 500 nautical miles
