About this tender

Wally 43 X - what we know.

The wallytender43X is the build we ask Wally for when the programme needs a 13.4m outboard platform that does not compromise on pace or presence. Where the inboard wallytender43 keeps its power below decks, the X variant mounts up to three outboards on a V-transom - and with the optional triple Mercury Racing V8 500R configuration, Wally's published top speed figure reaches 52 knots. That is a meaningful number for a boat carrying twelve people and 1,750 litres of fuel.

The hull itself is shared with the wallytender43: a deep-V form developed by Wally in collaboration with the Ferretti Group engineering department. Joystick controls, dynamic positioning, and autopilot are all standard fitment, which matters when you are manoeuvring alongside a swim platform in a swell. The walkaround centre cockpit gives crew a safe passage forward without disturbing guests on the foredeck sunlounge or under the sailcloth hard-top.

What separates the 43X from most outboard tenders of this length is the retention of the hydraulic passerelle, which doubles as a stern boarding ladder - an arrangement Wally notes is unique for an outboard model. Fold-down aft wings extend the entertaining deck, and the reconfigurable sunpad and sofa arrangement means the boat works as a family dayboat, a superyacht tender, or a resort shuttle without requiring re-outfitting between roles.

Below, there is a double berth cabin with natural air conditioning and a full bathroom including a separate walk-in shower. For a 13.4m outboard, that is a credible overnight or extended-day specification. Classification is CE Category B plus Coastal (F) from RINA S.p.A., which covers offshore and coastal passages in the conditions where this boat will realistically operate.

Highlights

Built for the work.

The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.

01

Triple outboard performance

Up to three Mercury outboards can be specified on the V-transom. The standard Mercury Verado V10 425 hp engine produces a published top speed of 45 knots; the optional Mercury Racing V8 500R fitment lifts that to 52 knots, with a corresponding range at cruise of 250 nm from 1,750 litres of fuel.

02

Deep-V hull with standard joystick control

The balanced deep-V hull form was developed by Wally with Ferretti Group's engineering department. Joystick controls, dynamic positioning, and autopilot come as standard equipment - a combination that gives a single crew member confident control at the dock and at speed.

03

Hydraulic passerelle on an outboard hull

The wallytender43X retains the hydraulic passerelle from the inboard model, functioning as both a boarding ramp and a stern swim ladder. Wally identifies this as a unique feature for a triple-outboard configuration at this length.

04

Walkaround centre cockpit and hard-top

The centre cockpit design provides a full walkaround passage to the foredeck without crossing through the seating area. A sailcloth hard-top provides shade over the helm and cockpit, while fold-down aft wings extend the entertaining deck when the boat is stationary.

05

RINA Class B plus Coastal certification

Factory classification is CE Category B plus Coastal (F) certified by RINA S.p.A., covering offshore and coastal passages. This is the rating to check against your programme's operating area before committing to a specific fitout or insurance structure.

Questions, answered

Before you enquire.

How many outboards can the wallytender43X take, and what is the maximum power output?
Wally specifies up to three outboards on the V-transom. The highest published configuration uses three Mercury Racing V8 500R engines, giving 1,500 hp combined and a factory top speed of 52 knots. The standard fitment is the Mercury Verado V10 425 hp, which returns 45 knots and a 280 nm range at cruise.
Is the wallytender43X suitable as a superyacht tender, or is it primarily a dayboat?
Wally positions it explicitly for both roles, alongside resort shuttle use. The hydraulic passerelle, walkaround centre cockpit, and 12-person capacity make it practical as a tender. The double berth cabin and full bathroom add overnight capability. Whether it fits your mothership's garage is a function of the 4.3m beam and 13.4m LOA.
What classification does the wallytender43X carry?
CE Category B plus Coastal (F), certified by RINA S.p.A. Category B covers offshore passages up to 200 nautical miles from a safe haven in winds to Beaufort 8 and significant wave heights to four metres. The Coastal (F) extension addresses coastal operation in Italian and Mediterranean regulatory contexts.
Does the outboard configuration mean no passerelle?
No. Wally has retained the hydraulic passerelle from the inboard model and identifies this as a feature unique to the 43X among outboard boats of this type. It operates as both a boarding gangway and a stern swim ladder.
What is the fuel capacity and what range does it give?
The technical sheet lists 1,750 litres of fuel. At cruising speed with the standard Mercury Verado V10 425 hp configuration, Wally publishes a range of 280 nm. The optional Mercury Racing V8 500R setup drops that to 250 nm at its stated cruise speed of 32 knots.
How does the wallytender43X differ from the wallytender43?
The core hull and angular exterior design are shared between the two models. The principal difference is propulsion: the 43 uses inboard engines, while the 43X mounts up to three outboards on a V-transom. The 43X also accepts the optional Mercury Racing V8 500R engines, which push the top speed above what the inboard model publishes.

Wally

Monaco

Wally is a Monaco-headquartered yacht brand founded in 1994 by Italian entrepreneur Luca Bassani. The house built its reputation on carbon fibre construction and minimalist design across both sail and power, becoming the only yachting brand to win the Compasso d'oro twice - in 2004 and 2008. In 2019 Wally joined the Ferretti Group; all current builds come out of the Group's facilities in Italy, with the Wallytender line produced at Forlì and larger superyachts at CRN in Ancona.

In the superyacht tender and chase-boat segment, the wallytender line is what we turn to first. Introduced in 2001 as a chase platform for the sailing fleet and later for the 118 WallyPower, the range now runs from the wallytender43 (13.2m, 40 knots) up to the wallytender48 and wallytender48X (14.9m, 55 knots). The flagship 48X carries four Mercury Verado V8 450R outboards combining for 1,800 hp; the engines are split in pairs to retain a hydraulic passerelle and swim ladder on the centreline. Folding aft bulwarks extend the deck area at anchor, the deep-V hull handles offshore conditions with composure, and the outboards tilt up to 70cm draft for shallow-water work.

The design language is consistent across every hull: flush surfaces, concealed hardware, exposed carbon fibre detailing inside and out, and a single below-deck cabin. We'd put it alongside Vanquish and Pershing in terms of finish ambition, at a specification that is genuinely purpose-built for chase and day-boat duty rather than garage stowage.
