World’s Fastest Yacht
The 118 WallyPower is equipped with three gas turbines that generate 16,800 HP power, allowing the 118 to reach up to 60 knots in flat seas, and making it the current World's Fastest Yatch record holder.
The designer and founder of Wally Yachts is Luca Bassani Antivari, a 47-year-old Italian entrepreneur and former champion yachtsman who has earned the Monaco-based company an international reputation for customized cruising boats. It has a range of 1500 miles at 9 knots down to 300 miles at 60 knots, a displacement of 95 tons and accommodates up to 6 guests and 6 crew. The 118 will set you back quite a bit though for all that speed. It's currently for US $17 million when equipped with only two engines, and $25 million with the triple gas turbines.
