The Wally WallyTender 48 sits inside Wally Yachts' original day-yacht line, a 48-foot Italian tender built under Ferretti Group ownership since Luca Bassani founded the brand in 1994. Tender Owl runs twin Volvo Penta D6 IPS drives at 480 hp each for 960 hp total, an 11.5 kW Onan generator, Seakeeper gyro stabilization, and Volvo joystick docking. Bow thruster is unnecessary given the pod configuration, and the upgraded Garmin electronics package sits at the helm alongside a FLIR night-vision camera and upgraded stereo.
The center-console layout carries a custom metallic copper hull and teak decks that read to us as Wally's day-yacht DNA rendered without compromise. Carbon fiber runs through the dash, steering wheel, hardtop, mast head, and galley trim. Below deck a single double berth forward pairs with an air-conditioned salon and a single head with separate shower stall. Fold-down bulwarks expand the aft deck at anchor, the retractable boarding platform doubles as a swim step, and a garage aft handles water toys.
With 541 hours on the meter, Tender Owl is a broken-in and well-maintained WallyTender 48 with the option sheet buyers in this segment typically build after delivery already fitted. Cockpit galley with electric grill and sink, upgraded Garmin fit, and Seakeeper are the three pieces most 48-foot day tenders skip and later regret. Comparable WallyTender 48s at similar hour counts have moved through the market steadily on brand strength and Ferretti Group service continuity. If a Wally-branded Italian day tender fits your program, she earns the walkthrough.
