The world of large power catamarans just keeps growing and growing. One of the latest entries comes from Omaya Yachts, a new brand from the three-decades-old Elica Group with its yard on the Danube in Bulgaria. The new Omaya 50 is scheduled to be launched this summer.
Elica says it started Omaya Yachts to build luxury power cats for the worldwide private and charter market. Like the 50, they will be designed by i-Yacht in Hamburg, and will have large beams to provide room for comfortable cruising or living on board.
Indeed, the beam of the 50 is 27’ 5”, representing more than half the cat’s length. It as a modern design, with thin bows and a prominent foredeck with both twin sun lounging areas and seating built under the windshield.
A large sunroof built into the roof over the front of the salon lets in lets of light there, while the flybridge is set a bit aft and protected by a hardtop. The aft part of the flybridge extends over the aft deck for weather protection there.
The salon has a door leading directly to the foredeck for convenience and safety. The lower helm is commanding, and the large galley is fully equipped for a long cruise. The high-low dining table can seat ten.
Full-width glass doors open to the aft deck, with more seating and entertaining space. The swim platform can be lowered for easy water access or launching toys from the garage.
The lower accommodations deck is filled with light from large glazing that stretches along the hull sides. The owner’s stateroom fills the entire port side with a double bed, sofa, desk, vanity, wardrobe and a head with double basins and a large shower. Two more double cabins are on the starboard side, plus a small crew cabin, all with their own heads and showers.
