First Bluegame BGX83 crossover yacht starts sea trials

The boatbuilders describe the BGX83 model as the embodiment of a crossover yacht philosophy, combining superyacht volume and the practicality of an 83-footer

The BGX83 unveiled early in 2026 at boot Düsseldorf is the Italian shipyard’s current flagship. She is the result of collaboration with the yard’s long-time partners. Thus, the exterior concept owed to Luca Santella and the hull by Louis T. Codega were finetuned Zuccon International Project. The first hull’s interior was created by Lissoni & Partners.

Externally, the new boat has a lot in common with her predecessors, the BGX63 and BGX73 models, but due to her size (a length of 25.6 m and a beam of 6.3 m), she offers far more opportunities. According to the yard, the vessel is owner-centric and combines comfort on board with immersive cruising experience. 

First of all, exterior lounges have been reimagined. It is the first time that a Bluegame yacht features a flybridge with a second helm and versatile lounge area that can transform as a dining or a sunbathing area. At anchor, it can be protected from the sun with the help of a bimini tent on carbon poles.

One level lower, on the main deck, there is a huge lounge area with a sofa, tables and sunpads on the foredeck, while the cockpit offers a comfortable space with sofas and armchairs for al fresco meals and entertainment. 

The biggest change is probably the aft platform concealing the garage for tenders and toys and dedicated to waterside activities. This area can be made even bigger with the help of fold-down platform on the starboard side and the saloon below deck: large sliding glass doors allow for using the saloon as part of the beach area.

Playing skillfully with levels, glazing and layout configurations, the shipyard blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces, ensuring a seamless connection with the environment. This is particularly evident in the main deck saloon that features panoramic glazing and can be opened up to the cockpit to serve as a lounge and a dining area with a bar, or accommodate even a kitchen island. 

There are two layouts for the lower deck: with three or four cabins, a full-beam master suite adjacent to the saloon below deck, which can be used as extra private space. 

The Bluegame BGX83 is powered by three 900 hp IPS 30 1200 Volvo Penta D13 engines. According to the preliminary data that will be tested during the sea trials in Rapallo, the yacht has a provisional cruising speed of 28 knots and a top speed of 30 knots.
