- as well as an organic/inorganic waste recycling system.
The main equipments proposed by the WHY are:
- 3 decks connected by stairs but there is also an elevator,
- a 25 meter pool,

The suite of the owner is an area of 200m2 and completely covers the third deck with a great sea view on a private terrace of 25 meter long.
The WHY 58×38 was unveiled on september 2009 at the Ancona site of the Italian manufacturer and presented in October 2009 at the Monaco Yacht Show. A full sized model of the WHY was displayed, at the 2010 Abu Dhabi Yacht Show.
The WHY 58×38 is expected to have a price tag of $160 million.
Few weeks ago, following its success, the brand WHY, Wally Hermès Yatchs, has just officially launched his little brother, WHY 37 × 24, smaller and lighter but just as comfortable and impressive.
