The WHY Wally-Hermès Yachts , designed and developed by the Why team, are part of the Hermès luxury brand. The 900 square meters of solar panels produce 500KWh of electricity per day. Features include the 25M temperature-controlled swimming pool at the front, a crew of 20, space for you and 12 of your friends and a maximum speed of 14 Knots. All this for the cost of something in the range of $90M pounds.

‘everybody’s dream is to live on an island, in complete freedom, without constraint, with the independence that only self-sufficiency can provide. a piece of land with a beautiful villa partly fulfils this aspiration because it is static. a yacht offers the freedom to move, but does not have the space of a property. WHY has it all: space, stability, movement, independence, peace. WHY goes even further. this revolutionary concept of the moving island is developed with the latest and most advanced sustainable technologies, recycling thermal energy, as well as any organic and inorganic waste. the architecture of the whole project fits perfectly in the environment – there are no excesses, nothing is superfluous, the impact on the sea is minimum. a new and unique way to live on the sea while caring about it, protecting it, and loving it. all this has always been my dream too, and when I met pierre-alexis dumas I realised that this dream could come true thanks to the common values and ethical principles we share.’ luca bassani antivari, president and CEO of Wally / via designboom
