OMAYA Yachts Renames Danube’s Elica Yard, Making It Brand Home

OMAYA Yachts announced that Elica Yard on the banks of the Danube will now operate under the OMAYA Yachts name, formalising integration between the product brand and the production facility in a statement reported February 17, 2026; the move coincides with dealer appointments in Greece, Australia, Mexico and the Netherlands and a Spanish market arrangement with MXG Yachts, so register interest with those dealers or MXG for Spain if you want priority viewings or demo slots.

Kaloyan Radulov, co-founder and CEO of OMAYA Yachts, framed the rebrand as a family-driven, production-led decision: “Being on the water has always been a passion of our family and runs deep in our DNA, so it was fitting for Elica Group to develop a range of serial-production yachts with the aim of building the very best power catamarans. Last year saw our debut model, the OMAYA 50, come to market, and, due to the success and interest in the brand, it was a natural progression for us to rename Elica Yard to OMAYA Yachts as we continue to grow the brand and what we are able to offer.”

The company reported production is active: Radulov said the yard has two more OMAYA 50 units in build and is developing a new OMAYA 53 series, and the business is expanding its boatbuilding team and preparing an in-house furniture department to shorten lead times and tighten quality control. That ramp is a stated reason for folding the shipyard identity into the product brand.

Elica Group’s manufacturing pedigree underpins the change: the family-owned group has more than 30 years in manufacturing and invested to modernise the yard’s roughly 15,000-square-metre facilities - upgrades that the company says support serial production. OMAYA’s stated pipeline also stretches beyond 50-footers: Radulov previously outlined the plan that, “Initially starting with the OMAYA 50, the next design will be 62 feet (18.9 metres) and eventually moving into the superyacht sector with the OMAYA 80.”

Public records and company statements differ on the OMAYA 50 timeline. Earlier 2024 material described the OMAYA 50 as “set to launch this summer” in 2024, while Radulov’s 2026 comments say “last year saw our debut model… unveiled at last year’s Cannes Yachting Festival.” Those timing details are in the record but should be confirmed with OMAYA for precise unveiling and delivery dates.

A LinkedIn post tied to the announcement reiterates the dealer rollouts and shows 24,590 followers on the company page, using industry hashtags including #marineindustry and #catamarans. For brokers and prospective buyers seeking demos or allocations, contacting the new dealers in Greece, Australia, Mexico and the Netherlands or MXG Yachts in Spain is the immediate step to secure priority conversations as OMAYA scales production.
