They say the two best days of owning a boat are the day you buy it and the day you sell it. From a photographic perspective, though, that might not necessarily hold true. As we see in these shots by Benedict Redgrove, there’s something uniquely striking about a yacht that’s in the process of being built, still weeks or months away from touching the water. What we see here is arguably the peak of their pristine beauty–before the sea salt and the barnacles do their work. It certainly doesn’t hurt when the place they’re being built is nearly as immaculate as the boats themselves.
The workshop is that of Wally Yachts, a Monaco-based company (naturally) responsible some of the most sophisticated yachts money can buy. A quick scroll through the company’s website will find something for everyone, from the lowly multimillion dollar recording artist up through your standard captain of industry. For the most lucrative Bond villain types there’s the Wally Why, a concept designed in collaboration with Hermes that is half-boat, half-private island (and still purportedly highly friendly to the environment!)
