Luxury Yachts

Like P Diddy and Roman Abramovich, we've got a passion for luxury yachts. After all, cars and planes are so last year.

This summer it's all about taking to the water (preferably the Mediterranean or Caribbean) in true superstar style, champagne in-hand and designer sunnies wrapped around your face. And what better place to shop for a yacht than Wally, yacht-maker to the stars?

The designers and engineers at the company are masters of their craft, creating high-end sailboats and yachts that range from the extraordinary 118 WallyPower to the magnificent WallyIsland. Based in glittering Monte Carlo - surprise, surprise - Wally was founded by super-rich Italian businessman Luca Bassani in 1994 and is now considered one of the best yacht-builders in the entire world.

It's hardly surprising, then, that VIPs such as King Juan Carlos of Spain and L'Oreal chairman Lindsay Owen-Jones own Wally masterpieces. While Wally yachts may not come cheap, you certainly got what you pay for with every luxurious amenity and creature comfort found onboard.

Naturally, the team at Gunpowder are lusting over the gorgeous images found inside the glossy Wally catalogue, and we're half-inclined to believe that a company yacht is the new company car. Offering the very latest in maritime technology and craftsmanship t's clear that those behind Wally aren't wallies at all; in fact, they pretty much rule the Seven Seas.
