Photographer Benedict Redgrove got to take a peek inside the workshop of Wally Yachts, makers of some of the world's most luxurious boats. Photo: Benedict Redgrove

It's a different type of yacht photo than we're used to. It's what they look like before they've ever touched water. Photo: Benedict Redgrove

It doesn't hurt that the workshop is nearly as immaculate as the boats themselves. Redgrove brings out all the sci-fi-like details. Photo: Benedict Redgrove

Wally has won the Compasso d’Oros, the prestigious industrial design award, twice in recent years. Photo: Benedict Redgrove

Here, we're nose to nose with the Wally's biggest sloop to date, a 165 foot sailboat called the Better Place. When Redgrove visited, it was in the process of being painted the same color as the owner's Bugatti. Photo: Benedict Redgrove

Sadly, the rebranding effort part of the shoot never materialized, and Redgrove wasn't asked back to see the final vessels. Photo: Benedict Redgrove

“I’m just sad we never got to see them being launched and shoot them in the water,” he says. Photo: Benedict Redgrove

But behind the scenes shots are plenty satisfying anyway. Photo: Benedict Redgrove
