At the back end, the aft cockpit leads down to a vast bathing platform with an aft-facing settee and plenty of room for freestanding furniture and water toys.\r\n\r\nThere\u2019s also room for a garage capable of swallowing a 4.35m tender but again, you can tweak that in whatever way suits your needs. Further forward, the galley is carefully separated from the VIP area for extra privacy if you have crew, and up on that long raked bow, there\u2019s another big dinette with an integrated dining area.\r\n\r\nClose collaboration between the Genoa-based shipyard and Giuseppe Bagnardi of BG Design has resulted in plenty of cool detailing too. The helm console, for instance, uses a carbon-fibre structure redolent of F1\u2019s protective \u2018halo\u2019 system.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_131896\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"630\"]<img class=\"size-large wp-image-131896\" src=\"https:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/MBY298.newyacht_3.Otam90GTS3a-630x354.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/> Carbon-fibre dash has a distinctly F1 vibe[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe same structure also incorporates a cooling system to keep the console electronics at a constant temperature and the air scoop intakes beneath the screen, on the hardtop and in the bulwarks also do a great job of elevating the style.\r\n\r\nAs for accommodation, the first model will come with three ensuite cabins and a lower lounge but just as the main deck can be specced with an open or closed saloon, so the lower deck can be tailored to your needs.\r\n<h2>Otam 90 GTS<\/h2>\r\n<strong>LOA:<\/strong> 91ft 0in (27.75m)\r\n<strong>BEAM:<\/strong> 29ft 6in (9.75m)\r\n<strong>ENGINES:<\/strong> Twin MTU 16V 2000s with Arneson surface drives\r\n<strong>TOP SPEED:<\/strong> 40+ knots\r\n<strong>PRICE:<\/strong> POA\r\n<strong>CONTACT:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.otam.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">otam.it<\/a>","excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Otam\u2019s \u201cCustom\u201d range doesn\u2019t actually begin until the 100ft mark, the new flagship of its \u201cFast and Iconic\u201d line, the Otam 90 GTS, remains about as custom-friendly as a sub-100ft yacht gets.
