Otam introduces new yacht 80 Open Millennium
Italian yacht builder OTAM – with 60 years of powerboating experience – was determined to keep the performance aspect but wanted to tame the power and add considerable luxury. The result is the OTAM 80 Millennium OPEN, which is one of the most exciting sports yachts to hit the market in a long time. It clearly demonstrates that you can combine performance and luxury.
The OTAM 80 retains all the technical virtues of its predecessors 80 HT-Hard Top. There is the classic deep-V hull with its generous dead-rise angle that cushions the ride. There is the hearty two or four engine propulsion option (leisure and performance versions – the original MTU 2600 HP diesels coupled with the Arneson drives can be replaced by four MTU with Trimax drives).
The Open version of the 80 is the result of the new idea of a completely Open yacht that fulfills today’s market demand for “sporty Mega-Open” and superyacht chase boats. Starting with the proven Fabio Buzzi hull shape, the yacht designer Alberto Mancini wanted to emphasize speed, an immediate perception of a sporty Mega-Open, with a very protective windscreen that wraps around both sides of the cockpit and terminates with the large carbon air intakes, clearly derived from automotive lines.
The roll-bar is color coordinated with the hull scheme, that Mancini and OTAM wanted in five different custom color variations, with colors that are unique, sporting and elegant; the same themes that characterize the seagoing spirit and philosophy of OTAM clients: Racing Blue, Maranello Red, Titanium, Black and Gold Grey. Of course, full custom color schemes are always possible. The deck layout was specifically designed to take advantage of the external cockpit: a facing twin “C” shaped settee that can be covered with the Bimini top (or an optional hard top), and a double bar completely equipped for both a day trip or a real open air passage: ice makers, capacious refrigerators and grills. The spacious sun bathing area is astern, above the tender garage, with another sun-pad zone on the foredeck. All the outdoor upholstery uses new materials especially designed to integrate with the tones of the chosen hull color scheme.
The internal layout is available in the three or the four cabin versions, with the owners suite astern and the Vip suite forward, with two twin cabins, or as completely customized guest cabins. The OTAM 80 Open represents a yacht that promises speed with a twist of luxury. Here is a combination of speed and sophistication that you rarely find, making OTAM a welcome addition to the high-performance sport yacht market.
Its top speed is 50 knots but OTAM is still experimenting with propellers. OTAM is confident that a new set of Rolla propellers will take the speed up to 55-58 knots!
