Omakase won 1st Place for Best Motor Yacht in Show, and it’s so well deserved! From the moment you step onboard, this brand-new yacht wows you with her spacious, luxurious, and beautifully designed layout. Light wood, marble countertops, and soft fabrics in whites and light blues give it a vibe that’s both elegant and homey. It’s super inviting.
The cabins are equally impressive, with stylish décor and great ensuite facilities, but the real star of the show is the massive flybridge. It’s well-protected, has a balcony towards the bow, and a big aft deck with sunbeds. There’s also plenty of seating, a bar top with chairs, and even a cooking area with a portable pizza oven. Honestly, this is the spot for a sunset party—cocktails flowing, food sizzling, and good vibes all around.
We got a taste of this during the yacht hop, and wow, what a show! Omakase served a gorgeous sushi spread paired with delicious cocktails while a live saxophonist played on the aft deck under disco lights. It was pure magic.
Big credit goes to the crew—Captain Wouter Hanekom and Chef/First Mate Kelly Sargent—who absolutely nailed it. They’re the heart of this yacht, making everyone feel welcome and ensuring every detail is perfect. Omakase isn’t just a yacht; it’s an experience you don’t want to miss.

Introduced by DMA Yachting, the breathtaking charter yacht OMAKASE is a 68 ft power catamaran. The most appealing features of OMAKASE are her well-chosen interiors and fantastic layout.
