Omaya Yachts has announced the hull of its first OMAYA 50, a revolutionary 50ft luxury catamaran that redefines spacious ocean living, is now out of the mould, at the Bulgarian shipyard, along the banks of the Danube.

Commencing construction in late February with the first yacht due on the water late September, the 30-strong Omaya production team will begin work on the second hull in August 2024, ready for delivery before the start of the 2025 season.

As part of the latest production update, Omaya Yacht confirms the installation of its internal systems with the furniture soon to be installed.

This hull offers the GARMIN EmpirBus system to enable owners to manage lighting, wipers, entertainment, security systems, temperature, navigation and more, at the touch of a button. It also integrates Raymarine's systems including Fishfinder, Radar VHF, Satellite TV and various cameras via its multifunctional display units. This model also includes Dockmate for a stress-free docking experience, as well as integrating Sentinel's remote boat monitoring and control system.

Kaloyan Radulov, co-founder and CEO of Omaya Yachts said: "We're really excited to reach such a landmark stage of the production for the first hull of the OMAYA 50. As with any new project, it wasn't without its ups and downs but are on the home straight as we head towards the completion early this autumn. In addition to the state-of-the-art systems, the first hull is also upgraded with the fantastic addition of a silent mode, which allows you to operate all systems and equipment onboard, while on anchor or moored at the marina without running the engine or generator, just using solar panels and battery banks. We also have the ability to supply Omaya yachts with the latest connectivity systems such as Starlink, should the owners request this."

Crafted with precision at the esteemed Elica Yard, the OMAYA 50 is distinguished by its unmatched beam of 8.4 metres, enhancing both the aesthetic and functional qualities of the yacht. It boasts expansive lower decks and a customisable salon that promises unparalleled comfort and luxury. With the ability to host up to ten guests and additional crew, the yacht ensures every journey is a lavish, comfortable experience.

"The Omaya 50 is more than just a yacht; it's a lifestyle, designed for those who seek not only to explore the seas but to do so in unmatched comfort and style," continued Kaloyan.

The OMAYA 50 integrates several innovative features to enhance both functionality and comfort. It boasts a pioneering high/low aft platform, allowing for seamless access to the water. The flybridge is remarkably spacious, providing an elevated panoramic view that is perfect for relaxation and social gatherings. Additionally, the yacht includes cutting-edge navigation technology and an eco-friendly propulsion system, emphasising performance and sustainability. These features, combined with luxurious interior design options, set the OMAYA 50 apart in the world of luxury yachting.

The launch of the OMAYA 50 is just the beginning with the brand already planning to expand its fleet to include 62ft and 80ft options, continuing to blend luxury with practicality, meeting the needs of adventurous families and ocean explorers alike.
