It is one thing to believe you have something special. It is another entirely when the world’s most critical yachting jury agrees with you.
The Multihull Company is thrilled to announce that the Omaya 50 has been awarded the “Revelation of the Year” trophy at the World Yachts Trophies during the Cannes Yachting Festival. In addition to this major win, the vessel was also shortlisted as a finalist for Best Exterior Design, solidifying its status as one of the most exciting new power catamarans to hit the market in decades.
The “Revelation” award is reserved for vessels that do not just iterate, but innovate. It is awarded to newcomers that disrupt the status quo and bring something genuinely fresh to the industry.
For the Omaya 50, this accolade confirms what our team at The Multihull Company has known since we first partnered with the shipyard: this is a boat that punches well above its weight class.
“We knew the Omaya 50 was going to turn heads,” says Will Miller, CEO of The Multihull Company. “But to walk away from its very first major boat show with the Revelation award is a testament to the vision of Omaya Yachts and the execution of the Elica Yard. It proves that the market is hungry for a power cat that balances luxury living with genuine performance.”
The judges and the public alike were captivated by the Omaya 50’s best-in-class beam of 27.5 feet (8.4 meters). This immense width allows for a saloon and cockpit arrangement that feels closer to a 60-footer, offering a “superyacht feel” in a owner-manageable package.
The nomination for Best Exterior Design further highlights the vessel’s striking profile. Unlike many power cats that can look boxy, the Omaya 50 maintains sleek, aggressive lines while delivering massive interior volume—a balance that is notoriously difficult to achieve.
As the exclusive distributor for Omaya Yachts in the United States and the Caribbean, The Multihull Company is your direct link to this award-winning vessel.
The “Revelation” award has created an increased demand in the boat with several orders coming out of a successful debut at the Cannes Yachting festival with vessels headed into the European market.

I chose Zee (Zvonimir Kalinic) after posting an ad for a broker on Yacht Sales from about 15 other brokers because he showed professionalism and care right away compared to the others. Most of the brokers never intended to show people my boat but yet somehow expected to collect commission. Zee met me in Novigrad and spent 3 hours taking photos and drone footage and throughout the listing period was communicating continuously and advising me about any offers that came through. His service was at a high standard that I was extremely happy with and felt comfortable at all times especially since I’m in Sydney and my boat is in Montenegro. I can’t recommend Zee highly enough to anyone looking to sell their boat with peace of mind.
The brokerage team has been amazing. They helped me find the right catamaran for our family of four, with enough space for extended family and friends to stay with us anytime. The broker really helped me narrow down what I needed. I started with a long list and eventually narrowed it down to something that was the right fit and price for me.
I cannot speak too highly of Andrew Hodgdon and his colleagues at the Multihull Company.
The process of selling my boat was very smooth and well managed and with excellent communication – especially important as I was unable to be nearby during the sale process. Andrew’s deep knowledge of the market and my boat was very reassuring. We spoke regularly and he kept me closely advised all the way through to a happy sale. I found him a good guy, very helpful, willing to share and bounce ideas around, and I enjoyed working with him. Highly recommended!
Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company are really professional! I just closed a deal with them, and everything was pretty smooth. Andrew was punctual, showed a lot of expertise, and he was honest about all the problems with the boat. He is also giving me the support I need to run all the projects on this boat. This whole process was much better than I was expecting, and I recommend this team! Thank you, Andrew.
