The Tunisian startup Wama Yachts has announced that it has won the « Multihull of the Year 2026 » award in the category of motor catamarans of less than 45 feet, for its model WAMA 42 XL. This distinction, awarded by the specialized magazine Multihulls World, consecrates an innovative approach to boating developed in Tunisia.
In publications published on its official channels, the company indicated that this award rewards both the performance of the ship and the overall concept carried by the brand. The WAMA 42 XL is distinguished in particular by an aluminum construction, the integration of foil-assisted technologies and a high-end positioning combining contemporary design and comfort on board.
Recently founded and based in Bizerte, Wama Yachts aims to offer a new vision of the motor catamaran, by relying on international standards of quality and innovation. This recognition is, according to the company, an important step in its development and a validation of its technological and industrial choices.
The « Multihull of the Year » award is a recognized distinction in the nautical industry, awarded after a process combining specialized selection and public vote. Every year, it highlights innovative models in different categories, reflecting the trends and evolutions of the multi-shell market.
Beyond the individual performance of the WAMA 42 XL, this reward also illustrates the potential of the Tunisian industry in sectors with high added value. By imposing itself in a field as competitive as that of pleasure boating, Wama Yachts contributes to strengthening the visibility of Tunisian know-how internationally.
In a context where technological innovations and environmental requirements redefine industry standards, the emergence of actors from new markets, such as Tunisia, testifies to a growing diversification of global supply. With this distinction, Wama Yachts intends to continue its development and consolidate its presence in international markets, capitalizing on a combination of innovation, design and performance.
