Bluegame arrived in 2004 with boats that refused to sit in a category. Luca Santella, an Olympic sailor turned designer, wanted one hull that worked as a walkaround, an open and a day cruiser at once, and he built the idea around seakeeping rather than styling. For that he brought in Lou Codega, the American naval architect whose deep-V forms are trusted by professional crews, and the partnership still defines every Bluegame: high bulwarks, level side decks, a ride that stays composed when the sea turns short and steep. The yard sits at Ameglia, on the Magra river in Liguria, and since 2018 it has been part of the Sanlorenzo Group. That gave Bluegame industrial depth to widen the fleet without diluting it. The original BG range now runs alongside the BGX line, which carries the accommodation of a far larger yacht on a compact hull, plus the BGM multihull and the BGF fast cruiser. Build numbers per model stay deliberately low, so each hull absorbs more engineering and more customisation than volume production allows. Bluegame owners tend to drive their own boats. The fleet is designed around that, and it shows in the sightlines from the helm, the width of the side decks and the working space left open aft.
