OTAM 80

Italian shipyard OTAM launched this 2011 motor yacht with an expansive aft beach club that transforms the relationship between vessel and sea. Hydraulic platforms descend to create a waterside terrace where the yacht's stern opens completely, dissolving the boundary between interior comfort and ocean access. The beach club's generous proportions allow guests to step directly from carpeted lounging areas onto swim platforms positioned just inches above the waterline. At nearly 24 meters, OTAM 80 channels the builder's racing pedigree into a design that prioritizes both speed and social spaces. The beach club anchors a layout that flows naturally from water-level relaxation through multiple deck levels, each offering distinct perspectives on the surrounding seascape. Forward areas maintain the sleek profile characteristic of OTAM's approach to performance cruising, while the yacht's beam provides substantial volume for entertaining. Twin engines deliver the spirited performance expected from this Italian builder, yet the yacht's true distinction lies in how that beach club reconfigures the traditional motor yacht experience. Folding bulwarks and retractable elements create an outdoor room that feels more like a floating pavilion than a conventional stern arrangement. Guests find themselves drawn to this aquatic extension throughout the day, whether for morning swims, afternoon gatherings, or evening cocktails with feet dangling in the wake. The 2011 build represents OTAM's commitment to boats that perform as well at anchor as they do cutting through open water, with that remarkable beach club serving as the yacht's social and functional centerpiece.
