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