"Wally Yachts continues to develop innovative concepts and minimalist luxury at a rate exceeding any other marine design house on the planet. The company's latest is the WallyIsland – a 99 meter (325 feet) "gigayacht" that dwarfs the vast majority of luxury megayachts and reconceives the yacht as a floating personal island, a mobile address that can be used as a home.

The WallyIsland's main deck can include a large, deep swimming pool, garden spaces, tennis or mini soccer grounds, as well as the requisite helipads. It includes sleeping quarters for up to 40 crew and 24 guests as well as the extravagant owner's suites. It holds around three-quarters of a million litres of fuel, so you'd probably want to fill it up before the public holiday petrol price jump, and the aft deck holds two 45-foot WallyPower tender yachts, as well as space for several other yachts and watertoys on board.

The superstructure of WallyIsland is AFT and is designed in the style of an airport control tower. It features three decks: upper deck, owner deck and bridge deck. Three more decks are in the hull: main deck, cabin deck, service & saloon deck. The lower deck is for the engine room, the systems, and the fuel tanks.

WallyIsland is developed on the length rather than on the height, thus reducing the price and at the same time improving the stability, resulting sleeker and featuring a huge forward deck area of 1,000 m2 (10,764 sq2) that can be devoted to different uses (tennis court, mini soccer court, garden with swimming pool, heli pads…).

The AFT cockpit deck is dedicated to the outdoor storage of the tenders (two 47 WallyPowers –13.6 m / 45’) and all the water toys. The area has enough space for two sailing boats and two or more tender cars. Two cranes can easily move all these items.

[/ QUOTE ]So, according to this principle, a 2 decks 300' should cost less than a 4 decks 150'.

Maybe these gentlemen "develop innovative concepts ... at a rate exceeding any other marine design house on the planet", but couldn't they connect the brain before issuing a press release?
