Wally Yachts

Wallypower yachts, nicknamed Wally yachts, are well-known vessels among the elite. To examine a few examples of the luxury and power behind these vessels, let’s take a look at the Wally 148 Saudade. This traditional, blue-water yacht features the comforts of a master suite, a master office and two double guest cabins with a 360 degree view.

When examining the exterior luxuries of these mega ships, let’s take a closer look at the 85M Wallypower. With a fuel capacity of 61,816 gallons and a range of 14 knots, this yacht is ready for days, weeks or months of cruising along the big blue waters. Surely, such a big ship would rely on the powers of Yamalube 2M oil.

Top 12 Most High-Tech & Luxurious Yachts of the World ~ Rising Sun

Taking the prize for first is the Rising Sun – also built by Lurssen in Bremen, Germany – which is owned by Larry Ellison, head of Oracle Corp. This magnificent ship is 452 feet and 8 inches long. It’s been said that Ellison had the Rising Sun designed to trump Paul Allen’s Octopus.

To highlight a few of the fantastic luxuries this mighty ship features, we’ll start with the all-embracing wine cellar. The vessel also hosts a fabulous swimming pool, a basketball court (which can also be used as a helicopter pad), suites for 16 guests and space for a private submarine. All and all, this ship presents about 8,000 square meters of living space.

Its mighty stature is certainly powered by a dependable source like Evinrude XD 100 oil.

Top 12 Most High-Tech & Luxurious Yachts of the World ~ Octopus

Our runner-up yacht – built by German shipbuilder, Lurssen in Bremen – is called the Octopus. Owned by Microsoft billionaire, Paul Allen, this mighty vessel cost more than $200 million and staffs a crew of 60 members. Constructed to please such a brilliant and revolutionary mind, I can only imagine the technology of the ship is equally, if not more, advanced than that of Allen’s brain power.

The Octopus is 414 feet and features support for three helicopters on the top deck as well as a remote controlled submarine. It comes at no surprise that a yacht of such luxury and excellence requires a hefty upkeep and costs about $20 million annually in maintenance and services. It’s also likely that this upkeep requires the clean power of Evinrude XD 50 oil.

Top 12 Most High-Tech & Luxurious Yachts of the World ~ Maltese Falcon

Now we’ve finally cracked our top three with a true beauty, the Maltese Falcon. The yacht was built by Italian Perini Navi Yachts and formerly owned by American millionaire Tom Perkins. The 289-foot sailing yacht was sold in July 2009 for 60 million British pounds.

While the world’s largest and fastest personal sailboat has many luxury amenities, it is most well-known for its record shattering speeds. The DynaRig is responsible for its speed. The Maltese Falcon has won several awards including several from the prestigious Boat International World SuperYacht Awards. If you’re lucky enough to have a yacht even a tenth as nice as the Maltese Falcon, you should use Yamalube 2W oil to keep it humming.

Top speed for Trimaran is 50 knots and the cruising speed is 40 knots with a range of 3,000 miles. Luxury amenities include a swimming pool, hot tub, sunbathing rooms, a grand piano bar, and a helicopter pad.

Leander is one of the largest yachts built during the 1990s. Its luxury facilities include a gorgeous dining room, observation lounge, and panoramic windows.

Top 12 Most High-Tech & Luxurious Yachts of the World ~ Senses

Ranking in at number eight on our countdown, is a grand ship designed by Martin Francis. For $240,000 to $250,000 a week you can indulge in the elite luxury of this at-sea paradise. This mighty vessel is equipped with four-wheel drive option, which is a feature not offered on conventional yachts. Wheels? I know you’re thinking that a boat does not have wheels, but this term is merely used to describe its handling capabilities.

Passengers will enjoy basic luxuries of satellite TV and a stereo music system as well as fancier luxuries like the Jacuzzi pool, gym and sauna. With spacious living arrangements suitable for up to 12 guests, it’s hard to imagine what cannot be accomplished on a ship so grand.

I can only imagine that a ship of this magnitude relies on the reliable power of Yamalube 2M oil!
