Bluegame BGX83: A New Era in Crossover Yachting

A Visionary Crossover

Navigating the serene waters off Rapallo, Italy, the Bluegame BGX83 emerges as a stunning testament to innovation in yachting. Debuting at Boot Dusseldorf, where it captivated audiences as the largest vessel on display, this flagship model of Bluegame elevates the brand’s crossover concept, merging the spacious luxury of a superyacht with the nimble performance characteristics of a high-speed motor yacht.

Design Excellence and Craftsmanship

Envisioned by Luca Santella—Bluegame’s founder and a former world champion sailor—the BGX83 is a collaboration of renowned talents. Zuccon International Project crafted the yacht’s exterior and spatial layout, while naval architect Lou Codega ensured its technical prowess. The result is a striking aesthetic that is both contemporary and functional, offering a range of interior schemes designed by Lissoni & Partners.

Unmatched Outdoor Living

At the heart of the BGX83 is its expansive main deck, which features a distinctive long aft deck. A fold-down bulwark to starboard transforms this area into an impressive beach club, enhancing the vessel’s allure for leisure and entertainment. To the port side, an optional crane accommodates larger tenders, showcasing the yacht’s versatility. In its first iteration, the owner has chosen to incorporate a 13-foot tender alongside a 15-foot option, exemplifying the BGX83’s capability to cater to diverse maritime adventures.

Innovative Interior Layout

Guests are welcomed into a sunken lower-deck lounge, accessible via sliding glass doors from the aft deck. This inviting space, bathed in natural light from hull windows, is designed for relaxation or entertainment, with options for customization that could transform it into a wellness area or media room. The owner’s suite is a sanctuary, featuring a transverse king berth and an en suite that can be elegantly concealed or left open for a more spacious feel. The hull volume can be configured to accommodate two or three additional guest staterooms, providing flexibility for hosting family or friends.

Performance and Handling

Underpinning the BGX83’s luxurious appeal is its performance capabilities. Equipped with triple 900 hp Volvo Penta D13 engines paired with IPS1200 pods, the yacht achieves an exhilarating top speed of approximately 30 knots. During testing, the vessel cruised comfortably at 28 knots, with an impressive range of 410 to 450 nautical miles. At a leisurely pace of 10 knots, the BGX83 boasts a maximum theoretical range of 1,200 nautical miles, ensuring that long-distance journeys can be undertaken with ease and efficiency.

Sound Design and Comfort

Luxury extends beyond aesthetics; it is also about the experience on board. The BGX83 maintains exceptional sound insulation, registering around 55 decibels at the lower helm and below 60 decibels in the master stateroom. This meticulous attention to detail underscores Bluegame’s commitment to creating an opulent yet serene environment, where the serenity of the sea can be enjoyed without compromise.

The Future of Bluegame

The BGX83 is not just a standalone success; it signifies a broader vision for Bluegame. With four units already sold and more in production, including the anticipated BG64 set to debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the brand is poised for continued growth. The upcoming BG84 promises an open design concept that builds upon the successful platform established by the BGX83, ensuring that Bluegame remains at the forefront of innovative yachting solutions.
