Luxury catamaran builder Omaya Yachts announced an exclusive partnership with BB Yachts Agency, which has become the brand’s official representative in the United Arab Emirates and wider region.
The Bulgarian builder plans to use the partnership with the Dubai-based BB Yachts to expand into other key markets, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
Of the announcement, BB Yachts managing director Bianca Balfour said: “The demand we’re seeing is incredible. Everyone wants to be here now, and the wealth moving to the UAE is at an unprecedented rate. Post-COVID, people have changed.”
“The sea offers a great escape, privacy and calm away from daily life. Catamarans have become increasingly popular because they provide all of that, plus the space for entertainment and family time that plays such a huge part in UAE culture,” Balfour added.
“We are excited to partner with BB Yachts Agency as our exclusive representative in the UAE and GCC region. Its boutique approach, deep understanding of the regional market, and genuine passion for our brand made it the ideal partner. The Middle East holds a huge opportunity for Omaya, and we’re confident that BB Yachts Agency’s personalised service and dedication to quality will resonate strongly with discerning clients in this dynamic market,” said Omaya Yachts CEO Kaloyan Radulov.
In 2024, the Bulgarian Elica Group, a company with 30 years of manufacturing experience, launched Omaya Yachts, to be built at Elica Yard on the banks of the Danube. The first model, the OMAYA 50, was introduced at the Cannes Yachting Festival in 2025, before the company moved into the superyacht sector with the OMAYA 80. In February 2026, the company officially rebranded Elica Yard as Omaya Yachts
