From the turquoise waters of the Caribbean to the glamour of the French Riviera, the 2025 racing season confirmed once again that when a Wally joins the race, it wins. Across oceans and continents, the fleet dominated every major regatta of the year, reaffirming the brand’s unique blend of design, performance and innovation on the international stage.
The year began in February under the Caribbean sun, where Bullitt (93’ fast cruiser racer) triumphed at the RORC Nelson’s Cup Series in Antigua Class MAXI, leading a strong Wally presence with V (wallycento) and Galateia (wallycento) taking second and fourth place. Just a few weeks later, V and Galateia returned to the podium at the St Barths Bucket Regatta, taking first and second in the Les Cent Pieds & Les Gazelles division.
The winning streak continued at the North Sound Maxi Regatta in the British Virgin Islands, where V claimed double victory overall and in the Maxi 1 class, followed by Bullitt in second. Galateia placed fifth overall and fourth in the Maxi 1 class.
In Europe, the Mediterranean season opened on April 30th with Palmavela in Palma de Mallorca, where Tilakkhana II (wallycento) and Rose (wally80) took first and second in the Maxi class, while Little Thila (wallynano37) won the Spirit of Tradition category and Pareltje (wallynano37) placed fifth. Shortly after, the wallyrocket51 Django made headlines by taking first place at the Tyrrhenian Sea Italian Championship in Sorrento.
The momentum continued at the IMA Maxi European Championship, where Galateia, V, and Bullitt swept the Maxi 1 podium, finishing first, second, and third. The Wally success extended to other divisions as well, with Sensei (94’ fast cruiser racer) fourth and Sud (wally80) seventh in Maxi 3.
In June, at the Loro Piana Giraglia in Saint-Tropez, Galateia, V, and the wallyrocket71 Django 7X performed strongly among the top Maxi A entries, while Sud claimed a podium in Maxi B. Galateia finished fourth, V sixth, and the wallyrocket71 Django 7X eighth in Maxi A. Sud took third place in Maxi B Inshore, while the wallyrocket71 Django 7X ranked 13th overall Offshore and fifth in the Maxi A Combined (Inshore + Offshore) standings.
In the Cyclades Cup in Greece, Galma (wallywind110), Wally B (107’ fast cruiser racer), and Barong D (110’ fast cruiser racer) completed an all-Wally podium in the Meltemi class, proving once again the brand’s versatility and dominance across diverse conditions.
The streak continued at the Palma Superyacht Cup, where Rose took overall victory, while Green Eyes (107’ fast cruiser race) earned line honours at the Mirpuri Foundation Sailing Trophy in Cascais.
During the Admiral’s Cup in Cowes, the wallyrocket51 Django attracted strong interest from sailing enthusiasts and industry professionals thanks to its remarkable performance. It contributed to Team Django’s third place overall at the 2025 Admiral’s Cup, winning both the Channel Race and the inshore races, while finishing third in her class (Admiral Class 1) and eighth in the Rolex Fastnet Race.
Then came the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup in Porto Cervo — one of the crown jewels of the sailing calendar — where Galateia was crowned Maxi 1 World Champion, leading Bullitt (third), V (fourth) and Tilakkhana II (ninth). In the Maxi Grand Prix World Championship, the wallyrocket71 Django 7X took the title, while Inti (94’ fast cruiser racer) claimed second among the Supermaxis.
Esense (143’ fast cruiser racer) took the top spot in the Performance Corinthian class at Ibiza Joysail, while Pareltje held strong in the Modern Classic class at the Régates Royales in Cannes.
Finally, at Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, the stage where Wally’s spirit truly comes alive, the fleet delivered another set of remarkable results: the wallyrocket71 Django 7X won the Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez Trophy in the Maxi Grand Prix, V captured the Trophée Edmond de Rothschild in Maxi 1, with Tilakkhana II and Galateia finishing fourth and sixth. Lyra (wally77) and Rose took second and third in Maxi 3, Sud finished fourth in Maxi 4, and Galateia went on to secure the IMA Mediterranean Maxi Inshore Challenge 2025, closing the season as the best-performing inshore Maxi of the year just ahead of V, second.
In addition, the new wallyrocket51 Kilara II impressed with her excellent performance after just one week after the launch, confirming the great potential of Wally’s latest high-performance design. Meanwhile, Ges III (wallynano37) and Pareltje (wallynano37) placed 24th and 25th respectively in IRC 2.
Beyond the racing, Wally celebrated its season of success with The Bow Glows — a week-long program held from September 28 to October 5 in partnership with La Société Nautique de Saint-Tropez.
The partnership with Range Rover created a curated experience, for both clients and hosted media, expressing Wally’s distinctive approach to design, innovation, and refinement.

The celebrations culminated on October 4th with an exclusive Gala Dinner by the world-renowned Alajmo Eventi, held at Casa Wally within the Musée de l’Annonciade. The evening combined haute cuisine and design, perfectly embodying Wally’s philosophy of creativity, excellence, and lifestyle at sea.
From Antigua to Saint-Tropez, from the regatta field to the dinner table, 2025 marked another extraordinary chapter in Wally’s story — a season where performance met elegance, and innovation met emotion.
