New elegant and racy flagship Otam 90 GTS now under construction

OTAM is proud to announce that construction of the first OTAM 90 GTS - a brand new model and the largest in its Fast & Iconic line-up - is under way at its shipyard in Genoa.

  • All-new elegant but racy design by Giuseppe Bagnardi of BG Design Firm;
  • First one-off unit in production for experienced owner;
  • Superyacht comfort, space and style in under 24m;
  • Hull no.1 due for delivery in 2024.

Her passionate owner selected OTAM because he knew the brand could deliver on his request for something "special": a fast yet spacious yacht able to accommodate a large number of guests in absolute comfort to join his existing fleet of vessels as a luxurious day boat.

"Because our boats are often used as chase boats for larger vessels, our clients are looking to approach a medium-sized yacht with the same level of freedom of customisation that you'd normally find on a superyacht," says Matteo Belardinelli, OTAM Commercial Director. "We've integrated that big boat mentality into a yacht of under 24 metres at the loadline with all the associated advantages in terms of manning and maintenance."

In fact, the new OTAM 90 GTS is available with opening hard top or soft top, with full or half-height side windows, with or without a side passage door, and with a single or double hull window for the master suite amidships. More than mere 'options', these features require structural, engineering and design modifications in order to meet or exceed client expectations.

In other words, the OTAM 90 GTS conforms with the brand's mission to build dynamic, high-performance yachts that exude timeless style and are tailored to each owner's personal requirements.

"Large series production drives you towards certain production processes, but that's not us," says Belardinelli. "We are craftspeople and even though we compete in the same market, we consider ourselves to be artisans first and boatbuilders second."
