WallyIsland was a 325-foot-long (99 m)[1] steel motor yacht proposal published by Wally Yachts in 2007. She was intended to be one of the world's largest private yachts.[2]

The defining feature of WallyIsland was her large main deck area. Measured at 1,000 square metres (11,000 sq ft), it was designed to maximize open space and allow a large garden to be built.[3] The main deck and the three upper decks featured a large swimming pool, garden spaces, tennis or mini soccer field, a helipad, guest sleeping quarters, a master suite, main saloon, living/dining room, library, theater, spa, fitness area, as well as service and crew areas.[4] The aft deck provided storage areas for tenders, and water toys.[5] The vessel as designed to sleep 24 guests.[6]
