Otam 90 GTS Review: 43-knot party supercruiser
Otam 90 GTS: A Party Boat at Sea
The Otam 90 GTS, launched at the Cannes Yachting Festival, is a remarkable addition to the world of luxury powerboats. This supercruiser is a direct descendant of the iconic Record, an 80-foot monohull that set multiple long-distance records over two decades ago. With a powerful design and a focus on bespoke construction, the Otam 90 GTS promises both performance and luxury. But how does it perform at sea?
Performance and Design Features
The Otam 90 GTS is built for speed and comfort. With two 16-cylinder MTU engines producing a total of 4,800 horsepower, this vessel can reach a top speed of 43 knots and cruise comfortably at 35 knots. The hull is constructed from Kevlar, which provides flexibility and a cushioned ride, while the hardtop is made of carbon fiber for added strength. This combination allows the boat to handle rough seas effectively, maintaining stability even in choppy conditions.
The design of the 90 GTS emphasizes entertainment. The main deck features two bars, ample seating, and sunbathing areas, making it ideal for social gatherings. The cockpit is equipped with a state-of-the-art sound system, so powerful it has its own compartment to keep it cool. The interior layout includes three ensuite cabins, maximizing space and comfort for guests. The master cabin, located amidships, boasts generous headroom and storage options, ensuring a luxurious experience.
Otam’s commitment to custom builds means that each 90 GTS is tailored to the owner’s specifications. The shipyard listens closely to customer feedback, allowing for unique designs while ensuring structural integrity. The internal bulkheads are aligned from the deck to the hull, providing strength against the impacts of high-speed cruising. This meticulous attention to detail results in a vessel that is not only visually stunning but also built to withstand the rigors of the sea.
