Debut of the OMAYA 50: Omaya Yachts Enters the Luxury Catamaran Arena
The launch of the OMAYA 50 may seem modest by superyacht standards, but its significance for the industry is anything but small. As Omaya Yachts’ first-ever model, this 50-foot luxury catamaran is more than a new vessel, it’s the opening chapter for a shipyard with global ambitions and a fresh approach to high-end yacht building.
Omaya Yachts’ arrival represents Bulgaria’s first major entry into the luxury yacht sector, introducing new talent, energy, and ideas to a market traditionally dominated by established Western European builders. The OMAYA 50’s launch signals the start of a new player focused on modern multihull design, extended onboard living, and a scalable vision for future growth.
Omaya Yachts’ vision extends far beyond a single launch. The OMAYA 50 is designed as the foundation for a full range of models, with the shipyard aiming to scale production and introduce even larger, more advanced yachts in the coming years. For the superyacht industry, this debut is a reminder that innovation and disruption can come from unexpected places.
'We are excited to finally be able to show what we’ve envisaged with the OMAYA 50,' said Kaloyan Radulov, CEO of Omaya Yachts. 'To the team, to every person who has poured their energy, skill and heart into this, thank you. You have supported us to turn a complex challenge into a spectacular success.'
While the OMAYA 50 may be more compact than the superyachts typically featured on these pages, its launch signals several important trends for the industry: the rise of luxury multihulls, the globalisation of yacht building, and a new generation of owners seeking adventure, flexibility, and contemporary design.
