Technohull’s Omega 47 has received enhancements that elevate its design and functionality. The latest upgrade features a cutting-edge carbon hardtop that embodies the design philosophy of the Alpha models, showcasing an expansive glass windscreen within a sleek, aerodynamic framework. This addition not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also improves the overall helm experience.

Interior upgrades introduce fresh color schemes and combinations that amplify the luxury of the space. With superyacht-level finishes and exceptional comfort, the Omega 47 is now the ultimate vessel for various operational needs.



Since its launch in 2021, the Omega 47 has set a new standard in boating, merging advanced technology, performance, and comfort. Crafted in Technohull’s state-of-the-art facilities near Athens, Greece, the updated Omega 47 adopts an ‘Alpha to Omega’ approach, featuring a new carbon hardtop and refined interior design.

The innovative hardtop is a testament to Technohull’s design evolution, first seen on the Alpha 50 and recently on the Alpha 40. The full-glass windscreen not only elevates the helm experience but also perfectly complements the Omega 47’s signature silhouette.



Beyond aesthetics, the new hardtop design enhances aerodynamics – a crucial feature for the luxurious performance that the Omega 47 is known for. With its patented Dynastream two-step hull design, the vessel can achieve impressive speeds while maintaining exceptional handling and seaworthiness. This performance is bolstered by a top-tier engine configuration, featuring quad 500hp, 4.6-litre V8 Mercury Racing 500R outboards, ensuring an exhilarating yet safe ride.

Technohull has also refined the Omega 47’s interior, achieving superyacht-level finishes that emphasize luxury and meticulous attention to detail. Brighter color combinations enhance the sense of space, while the core elements remain intact – featuring a spacious V-berth complemented by a cozy couch and abundant natural light from deck ports, all topped off by a full-height ensuite head and shower.



The layout of the Omega 47 includes full walkaround decks and guest areas that comfortably accommodate up to 12 people. The helm area boasts dual rows of shock-absorbing seats, alongside a foredeck cockpit equipped with seating, sunpads, and sun tents supported by carbon poles. The aft cockpit features a luxurious hand-finished leather settee that converts into a large sunpad, while modern amenities like a wet bar with a fridge and espresso machine ensure stylish relaxation on deck. An advanced audio system and ambient LED lighting create the ideal atmosphere for an unforgettable day on the water.

The helm position retains its ergonomic design, instilling confidence in the operator. State-of-the-art digital controls provide easy management of all onboard systems. While the new 500R engines deliver exceptional performance, the Omega 47 maintains a versatile transom design compatible with a variety of propulsion options, catering to diverse operational needs. The hull is designed for outstanding performance while ensuring a low planning speed, making the Omega 47 a versatile choice for comfortable cruising, whether as a thrilling day boat, island-hopper, or superyacht chase boat.



Greece company Technohull launched its first hull in 2004. The most popular Technohull models of today include: Omega 45, 38 Grand Sport, 909, Explorer 40 and SeaDNA999.

The 32ft 9in (9.99m) vessel is designed for day sailing and weekend getaways, featuring a sustainable build and electric propulsion options.The yacht is the smallest in the Grand Soleil range and sets new standards for recyclability. According to Gigi Servidati, Cantiere del Pardo Chairman, “The GS Blue represents the beginning of a new concept within the Grand Soleil range: a line that is agile, sustainable, fun, highly liveable, and designed for more immediate and flexible use.”The vessel’s design emphasizes performance and comfort, developed by naval architect Matteo Polli and Nauta Design for exterior, interior design, and layout.
