OTAM Yachts Review

Summary

OTAM, which stands for Organizzazione Tiguillo Assistenza Motoscafi, is an Italian Yacht manufacturer. The company opened its doors on July 19, 1954 and is headquartered in Genoa. OTAM Yachts are made using high quality materials, focusing on an open plan and speed. There is only one model, the Millennium, available in five different configurations: the 45, the 58 ht, the 58 open, the 65 ht, and the 80. With models ranging from 45 to 80 feet in length, there is certainly a model available for all boaters, both novice and experienced. OTAM is well known for building performance boats.

In addition to manufacturing and selling the yachts, OTAM has also opened a spa of sorts to help owners take care of their boats. The OTAM Wharf, located in Santa Margherita Ligure can hold up to 70 yachts. Larger yachts can be held at the Genova Marina. These facilities are available to owners so that they can get routine maintenance performed on their yachts. Making sure to keep the boats in good running order at all times is the best way for the boats to hold their value and extend their lifetime.

Pricing

Pricing information is not available directly from the manufacturer as these boats are custom built by the manufacturer and delivered to the customer. Used boats were listed anywhere between $478,000 and $4,713, 450.

Pros

• The 80 foot model can hit speeds as high as 60 miles an hour.
• Many boaters in the community speak highly of the OTAM performance yachts.

Cons

• These boats are costly to import to the United States since they are built in Italy.
• There are no United States based facilities for OTAM.
• The boats are quite expensive for the average boater.

Featured Models

There is only one model--the Millennium. The Millennium is available in five different lengths and configurations: the 45, the 58 ht, the 58 open, the 65 ht, and the 80.

Conclusion

OTAM is a highly respected and well know Italian manufacturer of performance yachts. These performance yachts are built for style, speed, and most importantly safety. Those who are not interested in a yacht for how fast it goes will likely not be interested in getting an OTAM. Those who are on a budget will most likely have to seek another manufacturer or look into getting a used model because of the high price tag associated with the OTAM brand. Those who are looking for a truly customized boat will be very satisfied with what OTAM has to offer.
