Casa

A single design idea from Luca Bassani gave Wally its identity, and Casa carries it whole: an open, uncluttered deck built for daylight rather than decoration. Wally Yachts delivered the 27-metre motor yacht in 2016, and she still reads as a design statement rather than simply a boat.

Build and provenance

She is a 27 Wallyace, a sport motor yacht on a single monohull built to that same minimalist grammar: open sightlines and seamless glazing rather than a production-line layout. Her length reads as 27 metres, 89 feet on the imperial scale, and at 117 gross tonnes she carries that volume as living space rather than as bulk.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across three cabins, with four crew aboard to run the boat and keep the open-plan interior as uncluttered under way as Bassani drew it at rest. A tender garage keeps the toys out of sight until they are wanted, in keeping with a philosophy that puts nothing on deck that was not designed to be there.

Performance and engineering

Two 345 hp Caterpillar C12 engines give Casa a 10-knot cruise and 12 knots at full throttle, figures that belong to a yacht built for a settled anchorage rather than a fast crossing. That pace suits her purpose: the design language rewards time spent looking at the water, not covering it quickly.

On deck and at anchor

A jacuzzi sits on deck, and a sun deck and a beach club are both aboard, three spaces that carry the open-air idea from the drawing board onto the water. Air conditioning below keeps the same simplicity liveable through the summer months.

Where she lies and how to see her

Casa lies in Cannes, and a viewing there is straightforward to arrange: Boatcrowd sets it up and attends alongside you. Once an offer on her is accepted, the survey and sea trial follow before anything is signed.
