Now he just needs a five-inch gun installed on deck to sink pirate vessels. ;)

What is the range on that baby?

It seems not to have the range of the other Superyachts (which oscillate between 5,000 to 13,000 n.m, the higher number requiring slower speeds). I'd say the Wally 118 is probably more for speed and 'oomph' rather than going on protracted voyages across the 7 seas, although I'd say pulling up to a harbor - any harbor - in a Wally 118 would definitely turn heads (and if you are lucky garner you a gold-digger or three). Anyways, here are the specs for the Wally 118:

LOL. Although something tells me that Paul Allen, a billionaire who not only has the means but apparently thinks large, has something on deck far more potent than a 5-incher. And I'm not talking about the ex-SEALs he hired as security. Who knows .....maybe a direct com-link to a DeathStar! I'm telling you, DeathStars are for real! Darth Vader assured me of this.

Seriously though, were I a pirate I would stay away from Allen's boat. Something tells me it is not happy hunting.
