About this tender

Blue Game BGX63 - what we know.

The BGX63 is the build we ask Bluegame for when an owner's programme demands a serious offshore cruiser rather than a weekend runabout. At 20.0m LOA with a 5.30m beam and a dry displacement of 35,000 kg, it sits in a bracket where the hull volume supports genuine long-distance passages without the owner or guests feeling they are camping. Twin Volvo Penta IPS units - either IPS1050 or IPS1200 depending on your performance brief - push the boat to 30 knots maximum and a sensible 27-knot cruise.

Layout is where the BGX63 makes its case most clearly. The master cabin sits at the waterline level, close to the sea rather than tucked away above the engine room, and the two or three cabin configurations with crew quarters give captains the flexibility to run the boat as a self-sufficient vessel without borrowing crew space from guest accommodation. The 3,000-litre fuel tank is a workable figure for extended coastal or inter-island programmes, and the grey and black water capacities of 330 litres each are sized for a proper overnight operation rather than a day-trip.

Design credit goes to Luca Santella and Zuccon International Project, a pairing that has consistent form across the Bluegame range. The lines carry a contemporary Italian sensibility without being gratuitous, and the structural brief clearly prioritised seakeeping and internal volume over silhouette alone. We'd put the BGX63 alongside comparable German and Dutch builds of similar length when assessing fit-and-finish and offshore capability; Bluegame's position within the Sanlorenzo group gives it access to resources that smaller independent yards cannot match at this price point.

For captains evaluating the BGX63 against alternatives in the 18-22 metre bracket: the IPS driveline is the right call for an owner who values low-speed manoeuvrability in marinas and fuel economy on the passage, and the 1.42m draft keeps a good range of berths accessible. We have no reservation about recommending a sea trial in moderate conditions to validate the manufacturer's seakeeping claims.

Highlights

Built for the work.

The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.

01

Twin Volvo Penta IPS driveline

The standard specification offers IPS1050 or IPS1200 units, giving buyers a choice between efficient cruising and higher-performance passages. IPS pod drives deliver low-speed precision and a meaningful fuel efficiency advantage over shaft-drive equivalents at the same displacement, which matters on a 35,000 kg hull crossing open water.

02

Owner-focused lower-deck layout

The master cabin is positioned at the heart of the lower deck, steps from the sea surface, rather than elevated above the engine bay. This is a deliberate naval architecture choice that reduces motion and gives the owner direct access to the swim platform area without passing through guest or crew spaces.

03

35,000 kg displacement with 30-knot capability

Achieving 30 knots maximum and 27 knots cruising at this displacement is a genuine performance statement for a boat configured for extended passages. The figures are manufacturer-quoted and should be validated on sea trial, but they place the BGX63 well ahead of pure displacement cruisers of comparable length.

04

3,000-litre standard fuel capacity

The 3,000-litre fuel tank supports passage-making on longer coastal itineraries without the operational compromise of frequent fuel stops. Combined with the IPS driveline's efficiency characteristics, this gives captains a practical working range for Mediterranean or Caribbean programmes.

05

Zuccon International Project exterior design

The hull and superstructure were drawn by Luca Santella in collaboration with Zuccon International Project, a studio with a substantial track record across motor yachts in this size bracket. The design prioritises internal volume and natural light through large glazed surfaces, without sacrificing structural rigidity or sea-keeping geometry.

Questions, answered

Before you enquire.

What engine options are available on the BGX63?
Bluegame specifies twin Volvo Penta IPS1050 or IPS1200 pod drives. The IPS1050 suits owners prioritising fuel economy and range; the IPS1200 delivers more power for faster passage-making at the same hull displacement. Your choice should be driven by your typical operating profile and whether sustained high-speed runs feature in your programme.
What is the maximum speed and cruising speed of the BGX63?
Manufacturer figures are 30 knots maximum and 27 knots cruising. These are quoted for a 35,000 kg dry displacement hull on twin IPS drives. We would recommend confirming both figures on sea trial in representative sea conditions before exchange.
How many cabins does the BGX63 offer?
The BGX63 is available in two or three cabin configurations, both including separate crew quarters. The master cabin is positioned at lower-deck level close to the waterline, a deliberate layout choice that reduces motion and gives direct access to the sea.
What is the fuel capacity and what range does it support?
Standard fuel capacity is 3,000 litres. Actual range depends on engine choice, load, sea state, and speed. The IPS driveline's efficiency advantage over shaft-drive systems at cruising speed is a relevant factor; your captain should calculate operational range on the specific IPS variant fitted.
Who designed the BGX63?
The BGX63 was designed by Luca Santella in collaboration with Zuccon International Project. Zuccon is an established Italian studio with a broad motor yacht portfolio; their involvement alongside Bluegame's in-house team is consistent with Sanlorenzo Group's approach to design across its brands.
Is the BGX63 suitable as a mothership tender or superyacht chase boat?
At 20.0m and 35,000 kg displacement, the BGX63 operates as a primary vessel rather than a tender or chase boat. Owners considering it as a support vessel to a larger yacht should note its draft of 1.42m, its two or three cabin crew-capable layout, and its 30-knot capability, which make it a credible independent cruising platform rather than a garage-stowed runabout.

The yard

Blue Game

Ameglia, Italy

Bluegame is an Italian builder founded in 2004 by Luca Santella, an architect and Olympic sailing champion, with the stated ambition to produce boats that refuse easy categorisation. The yard operates from Ameglia, in the La Spezia province of Liguria, and has been part of the Sanlorenzo Group since 2018, when Sanlorenzo acquired it and brought CEO Carla Demaria on board to scale the brand.

The range runs from 42 to approximately 83 feet across five series: the walkaround BG line, the crossover BGX line, the twin-hull BGM series, the foil-assisted catamaran BGF range, and the BGH, a hydrogen-powered foiling chase boat developed in collaboration with NYYC American Magic for the 37th America's Cup. Hull forms across the BG and BGX series are the work of naval architect Lou Codega, deep-V planing hulls with a Carolina-sportfisher lineage, running Volvo Penta IPS pod drives throughout. The BGH is the build we watch most closely in this segment: a 10.0m all-carbon catamaran hull, foil-assisted from around 24 knots, targeting 50 knots at the top end with zero-emission hydrogen propulsion.

What makes Bluegame recognisable in a support-boat context is the BGF45, which carries the foil technology developed for the BGH into a production catamaran platform with two cabins and a beach area, the kind of brief that sits between a day-charter cat and a genuine tender-carrier. We'd put it alongside the emerging Italian and French foil-assisted production builds as the most technically progressive semi-production option in the 13-to-15-metre class today.
