43wallytender, a versatile yacht for relaxing at sea

After the successful launch of the 48 Wallytender in January 2019 and then its outboard version - the 48 Wallytender X - in February 2020 the Ferretti Group (new owner of the Wally brand) continues the deployment of its range. During the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2020, the Italian manufacturer will launch the 43wallytender.

Numerous uses

This 13 m model takes up the lines of the range, namely a walk-around deck layout with a large central cockpit offering many comfortable spaces. Thanks to the large windshield reverses, the cockpit is well secured, while side decks provide access to the foredeck which offers a huge sunbathing area.

This versatile and fast runabout with clean lines is suitable for many uses, from superyacht tender to family dayboat, from shuttle to sailboat support boat. Approved in category B, the 43wallytender can carry up to 12 people and sail at speeds in excess of 40 knots. Equipped with two 380 HP Volvo Penta Diesel sterndrive engines, this dayboat can be easily stored on davits and will allow you to get as close as possible to the beaches thanks to its shallow draft. As an option, the 43wallytender can be fitted with 2x440 HP.

A versatile bridge layout

Like the other models, this tender is inspired by Wally's early tenders, namely the Wallytender, the WallyOne and the 47wallypower. On the main deck, well protected by a large windshield and a T-Top in laminated sail mounted on a carbon fiber superstructure. This semi-transparent material enhances the feeling of outdoor living while protecting the passengers from the sun. Finally, being lighter, it also reduces the displacement of the boat.

On the main deck, the pilot enjoys a good visibility thanks to the pillarless windscreen. The cockpit is equipped with a large dashboard with touch screens and two helm seats. The cockpit is equipped with an outdoor galley unit (with refrigerator) and an L-shaped saloon on starboard facing a sofa on the port side. In addition to the removable cooler as standard, a second larger fridge and freezer are available as an option.

At the stern, the side bulwarks open onto the water, while the deck receives two very large sundecks. With this configuration, it will be possible to create a real platform for fun on the water or to carry sails for a superyacht during the regatta season. The 43wallytender will also make a perfect water sports boat with space to store seabobs, wakeboards, diving equipment and other water toys. Finally, for easy access to the water, a carbon fibre ladder can be quickly deployed.

Thanks to its versatile deck layout, the boat will be able to satisfy all the desires of the various owners.

The lower deck should offer a nice headroom with a double cabin, a generous bathroom with separate shower.

Standard options

The boat will be delivered with many options supplied as standard - such as the T-Top which can also be removed if the boat needs to be stored in a tender garage. Other features include LED deck lights, hydraulic mooring system, extending bulwarks, teak sheathing and a fender system included with a railing around the top of the hull. Optional features include a diesel generator, indoor and outdoor air conditioning, a stabilization system and an automated retractable swim ladder, which will also serve as a gangway.

Several hull colours will be in the catalogue, although the first model will have an iridescent green colour, in homage to the Wallygator, the manufacturer's first sailing boat, whose year 2021 will mark the 30th anniversary of its launch.
