The Otam 115 is the largest yacht the Genoese yard builds, a 35.3 metre aluminium flagship that trades the brand’s trademark surface-drive sprint for genuine long-range cruising. Hull GIPSY, the first of the line, pairs a fast displacement aluminium hull with styling and interiors by Tommaso Spadolini and naval architecture by Umberto Tagliavini, a combination that gives her the proportions of a classic motor yacht and the build quality Otam is known for.
Power comes from twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT diesels of 1,415 kilowatts each, for an 18 knot top speed and a relaxed 13.5 knot cruise. Range runs beyond 2,000 nautical miles, enough to link the western Mediterranean with the Atlantic islands, and the aluminium hull keeps weight down without giving up the solidity owners expect at this size.
Where the smaller Otam models are focused sportsboats, the 115 is a true cruising yacht. Four guest cabins, generous crew quarters and a full sun deck make her a platform for extended family use rather than high-speed day runs. Spadolini’s exterior is restrained and timeless, with a near-plumb bow, low superstructure and long sheer that reads as understated rather than aggressive.
Built fully custom in aluminium, the Otam 115 suits an owner who wants Italian semi-custom pedigree in a 35 metre that can genuinely go places.

The 115 swaps surface drives for a conventional fast displacement package built around twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT diesels of 1,415 kilowatts each. Top speed is 18 knots and the efficient cruise sits at 13.5 knots, with range beyond 2,000 nautical miles at 11 knots. Those are cruising numbers, not sprint figures, and they suit the boat: the aluminium hull is tuned to run economically for long passages rather than to plane. Weight discipline is central to the brief. Building the whole hull and superstructure in aluminium keeps displacement down, which helps both speed and fuel burn, and gives the 115 a lively feel for a yacht of its length. She is quick enough to outrun weather yet frugal enough to make genuine distance between fuel stops.
Tommaso Spadolini gave the 115 a profile that could pass for a yacht from a far larger displacement yard. The near-plumb bow, low two-tier superstructure and long, even sheer read as classic rather than sporty, a clear signal that this Otam is built for cruising. Deck space is used intelligently: a full sun deck tops the yacht, the main deck aft opens to a sheltered cockpit, and clean metalwork keeps the lines uncluttered. GIPSY shows the aluminium construction off well, with fair topsides and crisp detailing. It is a restrained, confident exterior that avoids the fashion-driven styling of much of the market and should wear its years gracefully.
Below, Spadolini carries the calm exterior language inside. The 115 accommodates guests across four cabins, with the owner given a generous full-beam suite that exploits the 7.8 metre beam. Materials lean warm and contemporary, with timber, soft neutrals and large windows that bring the sea into the main deck saloon. Because she is a fully custom build, the exact cabin count, layout and finish are set by the owner, so the configuration shown on GIPSY is a starting point rather than a fixed plan. Separate crew quarters keep the service team out of sight. The emphasis throughout is on liveable, light-filled volume suited to weeks aboard rather than overnight stops.
The 115 is built for the outdoors. Her full sun deck is the social heart of the yacht, with loungers, shaded seating and dining under a hardtop, while the main deck aft cockpit flows off the saloon for in-port entertaining. The foredeck offers a quieter lounging area away from the action. Moving up from the water through the cockpit to the sun deck is natural and uncrowded, a benefit of the generous deck volume a 35 metre displacement hull allows. Compared with the beach-club-focused sportsyachts lower in the Otam range, the 115 spreads its social life across several levels, making her a stronger platform for larger groups and long cruises.
The Otam 115 is a fully custom aluminium build, so specification is open: engines, interior layout, stabilisation and finish are all agreed with the yard during construction. That flexibility, combined with Otam’s engineering reputation, is the core of her appeal. Running costs are modest for the size thanks to the efficient displacement hull and cruising-focused power, and the aluminium structure is chosen for longevity as much as weight. As the flagship of a respected Italian yard rather than a production line model, she offers a level of involvement and individuality that series superyachts cannot. For an owner who wants a 35 metre with real range, Italian pedigree and a timeless exterior, the 115 is a quietly compelling flagship.
