The Kontiki Wayra yacht is a luxurious vessel designed for cruising and exploring the seas in style and comfort. Kontiki Wayra is a name that might be inspired by the famous Kon-Tiki expedition led by Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl in 1947. The expedition aimed to demonstrate that ancient civilizations could have made long sea voyages, such as from South America to Polynesia, using primitive vessels.

The name "Wayra" likely comes from the Quechua language, spoken primarily in the Andean region of South America, and it means "wind" or "breath." Combining these elements suggests a sense of adventure, exploration, and connection to the sea and nature.

Yachts often take inspiration from historical events, cultural references, or natural elements when naming their vessels, and the Kontiki Wayra likely embodies the spirit of adventure and exploration associated with the Kon-Tiki expedition while also embracing the beauty and power of the wind and the sea.
