The new Otam 90 GTS, a 28-meter yacht, recently completed its sea trials and exceeded its contractual speed expectations, achieving a top speed of 45 knots, surpassing the expected 42 knots. Designed by Umberto Tagliavini and Aldo Scorzoni of Marine Design & Services, and featuring custom interiors by Giuseppe Bagnardi of BG Design Firm, this yacht is set to debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024.

The Otam 90 GTS is powered by two 2,600 horsepower MTU engines and Arneson surface propellers, ensuring smooth and responsive navigation. The hull design supports excellent sea-handling capabilities. Despite additional onboard weight due to specific owner requests, such as a customized rotating gangway, stabilizers, extensive marble use, and an advanced stereo system, the yacht's performance remains impressive.

The yacht's semi-open design offers notable silence at all speeds, and meticulous attention to sound insulation enhances onboard comfort. The helm console, inspired by racing cars, features a carbon-fiber structure with an integrated cooling system for the electronics. Air intakes and a snorkel on the hardtop echo high-performance luxury car designs.

The Otam 90 GTS's metallic silver hull with bronze accents, developed by Awlgrip, reflects its unique personality. The custom layout includes three ensuite cabins: a full-beam owner's suite, a VIP cabin, a guest cabin, and a lounge with an office rack room for the stereo system. The main deck features a spacious cockpit with an opening hard top and a separated kitchen. The crew area has independent access, a large sunbathing space, and a bathing platform. Forward, a dinette provides relaxation and dining areas.

The Otam 90 GTS will make its international debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024 from September 10 to 15, coinciding with Otam's 70th anniversary.
The shipyard’s history started in 1954 in Liguria. Its professionalism is what made it stand out, very quickly becoming the first authorized Riva yacht Service Center for the Med Sea. In the 80’s Otam fit around 25 yachts for an American builder before starting his own production of Otam 45’ and 55’, earning significant attention. Today Otam has produced around 90 yachts, becoming an Italian specialist, and, together with its custom range, offers a limitless choice between 45’ and 130’.
