AORI

Wally Yachts delivered AORI in 2004 as the sole representative of their 80-foot series, a carbon-hulled performance sailing yacht that captured the revolutionary spirit of early 2000s yacht design. Her 2020 refit brought contemporary refinements to Farr Yacht Design's original racing-inspired architecture, where ultra-light construction meets serious cruising capability across the Western Mediterranean's most coveted waters. Three en-suite cabins accommodate six guests within Lazzarini Pickering Architetti's carefully proportioned interiors, where the forward primary suite offers privacy while twin double cabins amidships keep companions close to the yacht's social heart. Morning coffee tastes different when earned through active participation in raising her sails, the carbon hull responding to Mediterranean breezes with the immediate feedback that separates true sailing yachts from their motor-driven counterparts. AORI's 12-knot capability transforms passages into purposeful adventures rather than mere transportation, her 1200-nautical-mile range opening routes from her Lavagna base to Corsican coves or Balearic anchorages without compromise. The 3.5-meter tender launches expeditions to hidden beaches, while snorkeling gear and canoes extend exploration into crystal-clear shallows where larger vessels cannot venture. An optional Axopar 37 with twin 350-horsepower engines adds serious water sports capability for groups seeking adrenaline alongside the meditative rhythm of wind-powered passage making.
