[Dyflin]

everybody’s dream is to live on an island, in complete freedom, without constraint,
with the independence that only self-sufficiency can provide. a piece of land with
a beautiful villa partly fulfils this aspiration because it is static. a yacht offers the freedom
to move, but does not have the space of a property. WHY has it all: space, stability, movement,
independence, peace. WHY goes even further. this revolutionary concept of the moving island
is developed with the latest and most advanced sustainable technologies, recycling thermal
energy, as well as any organic and inorganic waste. the architecture of the whole project
fits perfectly in the environment – there are no excesses, nothing is superfluous, the impact
on the sea is minimum. a new and unique way to live on the sea while caring about it,
protecting it, and loving it. all this has always been my dream too, and when I met
pierre-alexis dumas I realised that this dream could come true thanks to the common values
and ethical principles we share.'
luca bassani antivari, president and CEO of Wally

'from the invention of the compass to block capitals, from the rudder to the first steps on
the moon, man discovers and pursues his dreams. with its feet on the ground and its head in
the stars, Hermès, since its creation in 1837, has grown, generation after generation, through
innovative projects, executed with high standards and an artisan spirit.I have always thrived on
the dreams of great visionaries like magellan, jules verne, saint-exupéry and paul klee. like theirs,
the path of Hermès is to pursue its dreams… excelling itself, learning, pushing ever further
the quest for excellence and the celebration of beauty in the world. a world we must protect.
today, Hermès steps into the marine world with Wally. we quickly recognised our common values,
the values of well-made, singular, functional, refined and elegant objects. this encounter was just
what we needed to inspire us to brave the open seas. together, with luca bassani antivari, we
hope to open a new path, to offer a new lifestyle that is different, serene, contemplative and respectful
of the environment, moving slowly on the water, combining the pleasure of sailing and absolute
comfort. Wally Hermès Yachts – WHY – is the union of our dreams, the green path that carries
us away in its wake…'
pierre-alexis dumas, artistic director of Hermès
