In the realms of fantasy, owning a yacht is pretty high up there for a man on my income. But if the lottery win came upon my family, and they were kind enough to send some my way, and it was A WHOLE HEAP OF CASH, I might invest in a WHY (Wally-Hermes Yachts).

I’ve never been one for the sea – I’ve always enjoyed air travel as a preferred method of travel – but there’s something about the look of this thing that makes me hope for rising sea levels and maybe a Government-run scheme asking for volunteers to try living on some thing like this. Is that wrong…?!?

From Swipelife:

WHY (Wally-Hermes Yachts), a collaboration between esteemed Monaco-based yacht maker Wally and the equally esteemed French fashion house, recently unveiled their first production, and it’s a beauty.

While the yacht’s specs are top-notch (as expected), what really sets this belle apart is its luxurious use of space. The interior features an open floorplan with a grand stairwell worthy of a cruise line, with multiple living spaces formed by particular arrangements of Hermes furniture.

Perhaps the most stunning use of space is seen on the stern, arranged like a poolside, with interior cabanas facing the sea. Because of the quality and spaciousness of this vessel, Wally-Hermes’ claims that they were looking to create an island in the sea ring true.

On reflection, I think I’d prompt for the 58 x 38 model. Sure, it’s got a pool in the front with a helipad behind – surely, standard in most luxury yachts, no? – but what really sells it is the beautiful design, timeless interiors, incredible use of wood for a perfect finish and also a real nod to sustainability.

Oh, who am I kidding? You had me at helipad…
