Improve-it = Omikron OT-60

Omikron presents a new unit of its acclaimed OT-60 featuring new elements that enhance the onboard experience and offer additional performance options. On this latest hull, Omikron has installed an alternative, more powerful engine configuration with twin Yanmar 370hp engines, allowing the yacht to reach top speeds up to twenty knots while maintaining the efficiency and long-range cruising characteristics that define the OT-60 exploring capabilities. This option also enables more relaxed engine operation at cruising speeds, contributing to an exceptionally quiet and smooth ride. This development is the result of the shipyard’s ongoing engineering work on the OT-60 platform: thanks to its in-house expertise and flexible construction approach, Omikron is able to continuously refine the model and adapt technical elements to meet the specific preferences of individual owners. The OT-60 showcases the engineering expertise of Omikron Yachts, combining advanced naval architecture, precision construction and a design philosophy focused on efficiency and long-range cruising. Developed with renowned naval architect Juan Kouyoumdjian and featuring exterior and interior design by Lorenzo Argento, the yacht features an Eco-Cruise hull designed to minimize drag at real cruising speeds. With a displacement of around twenty tons, vacuum-infused composite construction, and a carbon-fibre superstructure, the OT-60 is significantly lighter than most yachts in her class. Combined with optimized propulsion, these solutions reduce fuel consumption, enabling quieter operation, extended range, and more sustainable cruising.
