The new Otam 70 HT is a fast 70-foot motorboat. With a length of 22.30 meters and a beam of 5.40 the first model is already under construction and will be ready for the boat shows in 2021. We are sure, however, that lovers of luxury fast cruisers will appreciate it already from the renderings.

Otam 70 HT: the luxury fast cruiser according to Otam
With one-off design by BG Design Firm, as well as bespoke engineering and hull lines by Umberto Tagliavini Marine Design together with Otam CEO/mechanical engineer and several times Powerboat Champion Mr Gianfranco Zanoni, the new OTAM 70HT currently in build is the epitome of the dynamic performance and timeless style that has made the iconic Italian brand instantly recognizable around the world.
Conspicuous references to the automotive industry are the scooped air intakes in the hull and each side of the sunbed on the foredeck, as well in front of the windscreen and under the ‘manta-ray’ radar arch. These all channel air into the spacious engine room. The exhaust vents are cleverly integrated into glossy black grilles in the aft bulwarks either side of the swim platform and can be accented with strip LED lighting.
The hull
Powered by twin 2000-hp MAN or MTU engines coupled to Arneson drives and custom Otam-Rolla propellers, the 70HT has an eye-watering top speed of 50 knots (OTAM is also looking to offer an engine option to provide higher speeds). Combined with the efficient and slippery deep-V hull with 21 degrees of deadrise for solid tracking and seakeeping, the result is a high-performance masterpiece of design and engineering. Seakeeper gyro stabilizers can also be fitted for the best comfort.
The first Otam 70 HT
As with all OTAM products, customization is key and with an overall length of 22.30 meters and a beam of 5.40 meters the 70HT offers unrivaled space and comfort for a fast luxury cruiser of her size.
The owner of the first Otam 70HT in production chose a cockpit and salon with sofa seating along the port side for hosting large groups and a comfy sunbed on top of the transom tender garage together with a second generous volume sunbed on the foredeck bow area. Other options are available, however, and the second hull currently in negotiation will likely have a more classic layout with an aft-facing sunbed, no tender garage and opposing sofas in the covered salon.
There are multiple options available on the accommodation deck. The first hull currently in production has a 3-cabin layout with a full-beam owner’s suite forward, a separate galley and a separate crew cabin for two in the bow, but clients are free to choose their own layout solution, interiors at full client limitless choice.
