About this tender
The Bluegame BG74 is the build we ask Bluegame for when an owner wants a 22.71m open motor yacht that genuinely prioritises deck volume and sea connection over the flybridge conventions that dominate this length class. The brief from Luca Santella - a professional yachtsman and Olympic champion - was to draw a hull that flows from cockpit to saloon without the visual and physical interruption of a traditional superstructure, and the result reads cleanly against comparable Italian production at this displacement.
Propulsion is twin Volvo Penta IPS, with the choice of IPS1200 or IPS1350 drives depending on your programme. Cruising speed sits between 25 and 27 knots; maximum is quoted at 28 to 30 knots. At 40,000 kg displacement the BG74 is not a lightweight, but IPS pod drives recover meaningful efficiency against a conventional shaft installation at these speeds, and the contra-rotating propellers reduce stern wash in anchorage approaches - a detail that matters if your crew is managing a tender alongside.
The interior is the work of Zuccon International Project, a studio with a long track record across the Sanlorenzo group. The BG74 accommodates guests in three cabins plus a separate crew arrangement below, with 4,000 litres of standard fuel tankage and 1,000 litres of fresh water. If your programme runs Med summers with regular overnight passages, the tank volumes are adequate rather than generous; we would discuss extended-range options at the enquiry stage.
Sanlorenzo Yachts UK holds the UK representation for the Bluegame range from offices in London and Southampton. For buyers evaluating the BG74 against open competitors at the 70-foot mark, the IPS driveline, the Zuccon interior brief, and the explicit attention to exterior deck area are the three differentiators we would put alongside any shortlist comparison.
Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
Twin Volvo Penta IPS1200 or IPS1350 drives deliver 28 to 30 knots at the top end with the fuel and vibration benefits of contra-rotating pod propulsion. The choice of two power steps gives owners and captains a meaningful range trade-off depending on the season's programme.
The hull and deck layout are the work of Luca Santella, a naval architect and Olympic sailing champion. The design intent is a continuous flow from cockpit to saloon that removes the visual obstruction of a conventional flybridge, prioritising sightlines and usable exterior space at this LOA.
The below-deck arrangement, conceived by Zuccon International Project, provides three guest cabins plus a crew area. Material selection is handled on a bespoke basis, giving owners scope to specify the interior finish without departing from a well-structured design framework.
Standard fuel capacity is 4,000 litres, supported by 1,000 litres of fresh water and 330 litres of black water. For a 22.71m vessel displacing 40 tonnes, the fuel figure supports multi-day coastal passages at cruising speed without a mid-passage stop.
At 40,000 kg displacement with a 5.60m beam and a 1.60m draught, the BG74 carries the mass and the beam to be a serious offshore passage boat, not merely a day-boat scaled up. The draught figure also keeps most Mediterranean marinas within reach.
