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.

We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon to find our dream boat, an Outremer 52.
We were actually referred to him by several different people—clients who had been very happy working with him, as well as boat owners who were planning to use him to sell their own boats. After working with Andrew ourselves, we completely understand why he came so highly recommended.
We worked with him for several months, and from start to finish, he was exceptional. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and truly an expert when it comes to performance catamarans. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, was always responsive and organized, and never made us feel pressured throughout the process.
Andrew went above and beyond to arrange showings for us in multiple states and even traveled to another state to be there with us for the sea trial. His expertise and guidance gave us tremendous confidence as we evaluated such a significant purchase.
The entire process could have been overwhelming, but he made it remarkably smooth. He was on top of every detail and made the paperwork and closing process easy, working seamlessly with his team at The Multihull Company.
What impressed us most was that he genuinely had our best interests in mind. And his support didn’t end when the sale was completed. He has continued to stay in touch and has made it clear that he is still available to help us if we ever need him. That kind of follow-through is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of broker he is.
Buying an Outremer 52 was a huge decision and a major investment, and having someone with his knowledge, experience, responsiveness, and integrity made the entire experience so much easier and more enjoyable.
We couldn’t recommend Andrew Hodgdon more highly. If you’re looking for a yacht broker—especially if you’re considering a performance catamaran—we would choose him again without hesitation. The fact that so many people recommended him to us was the reason we called him, and after working with him, we would be one of those people recommending him to others.
I highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon. He served as our buyers broker. He is responsive, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. He is also an excellent guide and counselor before, during and after the boat purchase process. If you are looking for a good-sailing cat, he seems to collect most of the available boats on the better-sailing side of the market. Top marks.
Andrew did an excellent job getting me started on my new adventures. Worked with my conflicting schedule. Is very knowledgeable in the catamaran industry. 😎
I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.
Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.
