Bluegame BGM75 Review (2023 Edition)

What happens when a brand known for sleek, high-performance monohulls builds its first multihull? The answer made its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023, and it’s not what you might expect.

The Bluegame BGM75 is a milestone for both Sanlorenzo and Bluegame as it's their first-ever multihull. It’s not the kind of multihull you might be picturing though - the design has its own twist.

Power comes from a pair of relatively modest Volvo Penta IPS 800s, giving a top speed in the 22-23 knot range. The real intrigue, though, lies inside, where there’s some impressively clever thinking at work in the layout and detailing. In this review, we step on board to see exactly how Bluegame has pulled that off.

Design & Build

Bluegame’s first multihull is very deliberately not the sort of wide, boxy catamaran you might picture. The BGM75’s beam is tighter than usual, so the profile stays sleek, it moves through the water more like a monohull, and you avoid that quick “catamaran bob” that can come with extra width. The closer hull spacing also means the deck between them becomes one continuous volume, which is why you can have a proper full-beam owner’s cabin here, something you can’t do on a conventional cat.

This hull concept comes from Philippe Briand, who treated the BGM75 as an evolution of the motor yacht rather than a sailing-cat conversion. It’s ultra-efficient, drawing on America’s Cup experience, and paired to Volvo Penta IPS drives so it can match the volume of a 90-footer with around 50% less power than an equivalent monohull. Carbon fibre in the hull, lightweight materials for non-structural parts, and careful weight distribution all help keep fuel burn down and range up.

The look is the work of Bernardo Zuccon, who’s kept the family resemblance to the rest of the range, and the interiors are by Piero Lissoni, whose open-plan layout is made possible by moving the main helm up top. The result is a yacht with the space, stability, and efficiency advantages of a multihull, wrapped in the style, handling, and practicality you’d expect from a Bluegame. And while this is the first of the BGM line, it’s also the starting point for more advanced models already in development (including hydrogen and foil-assisted versions) so it’s a genuine marker of where the brand is heading.

In the current lineup, it sits apart from the sporty BG series and the long-range BGX models, sharing their design language but delivering a very different experience on the water. Owners used to the BGX’s long-legged cruising or the BG’s open, adventurous feel will find familiar touches here, but on a platform that opens up new levels of interior space, stability, and efficiency without stepping up to a much larger monohull.

Interior Accommodation

Step inside and the first impression is just how much space you gain without a lower helm taking up real estate. Forward there’s a compact control station - we’ll come to that - but the bulk of this deck is devoted to lounging and living. The curved glass we saw from outside works beautifully here, keeping sightlines open from almost any angle. The panes drop behind the sofas, so whether you’re seated or standing, the view out stays clear.

The television drops from the ceiling at the touch of a button. It’s not the best angle for anyone sitting directly beneath it, but from the opposite sofa it lines up perfectly. A small storage unit sits alongside, neatly finished, and like the deck areas, the loose furniture can be changed to suit an owner’s taste.

To port, the dining table sits forward, positioned for easy service and close to the social flow. There’s a side door just beside it and another to starboard making it simple to move in and out of the main deck without having to pass through the aft cockpit.

Owner's Cabin

The owner’s cabin on the BGM75 takes full advantage of the bridge deck beam - a shift we’ve seen across modern multihull design, moving away from tucking cabins into the ends of each hull and instead spreading them across the full width of the boat. The result here is a generous, beautifully finished space with a lot of thought in the detailing. Lighting is a highlight throughout, from the slim reading lamp set into the bed head to the soft ambient glow that gives the cabin its calm feel.

Alongside the large bed, there’s a relaxed lounging corner - not quite a chaise longue, but a comfortable spot to stretch out - plus a separate chair tucked neatly into the opposite corner. The ensuite blends style and practicality, with twin sinks, smoked glass panels and a striking design line running toward the shower. The toilet is enclosed separately, keeping the space clean in both senses, and the execution is crisp and modern.

Forward, a proper walk-in wardrobe spans the width of the cabin. Pocket doors let you close it off completely, and inside there’s room for a full wardrobe’s worth of clothing, plus shelves and cubbies for shoes, bags and the rest. It’s the kind of storage that swallows everything without feeling overstuffed.

For a 22.9m (75ft) yacht, the scale and finish of this cabin are exceptional - it’s a genuine full-beam retreat with the sort of layout and comfort that not long ago you’d only expect on much larger yachts.

Guest Accommodation

In the port hull of the BGM75 sit two identical double guest cabins, each with its own ensuite. The execution is every bit as polished as in the owner’s cabin, and one of the details that stands out is the use of smoked glass. It’s everywhere on this boat, and here it’s worked into the wardrobe doors. It stops the space from feeling boxed in by solid timber panels and keeps the light flowing, which makes the cabins feel more open.

The beds are generous in size, set a little higher than in the owner’s cabin, so there’s a shallow end step to make getting in easy. Once you’re settled, there’s enough headroom to sit up comfortably with a book or tablet. Each cabin has a small hull window - not a wall of glass, but just enough for a morning view over the water at eye level from bed.

Each guest cabin has its own bathroom, finished in real marble with a separate shower cubicle, and the guest area has its own entrance off the saloon. The owner’s suite is accessed separately forward, so the two spaces remain entirely private from one another.

It’s the combination of thoughtful layout and that high-grade finish - especially in the bathrooms - that makes these guest cabins feel like more than just secondary spaces.

Crew Accommodation

Dropping down into the starboard hull on this layout brings you to the galley and crew quarters. Forward there’s a day head - the one guests were using during the show - and just beyond it is a galley space that feels unusually capable for a 22.9m boat. In this version, the galley is down here, though if you opt for the galley-up arrangement this becomes an extra cabin instead.

As it stands, it’s a seriously well-specified setup. The finish is smart, the appliances are high-end, and there’s a sense of almost professional-grade design about it. Floor-to-ceiling cooling sits to one side, storage is generous, and the whole space feels open and practical to work in.

Aft of the galley is the crew area, and for a boat this length it’s surprisingly generous. There’s a mess with seating, two separate cabins, and bunks served by their own bathroom. Push right aft in the starboard hull and there’s another cabin with twin single berths, again with its own private bathroom.

For a yacht in this size bracket, it’s the kind of arrangement that makes long stints onboard far more comfortable - and the crew here are likely to be pretty happy.

Helm Station

The BGM75’s main helm sits up on the flybridge, with only a control station inside on the main deck. This is where the real driving happens, and it’s been set up to make those hours at the wheel as comfortable as they are intuitive. Three leaning-post seats run across the helm, each with a flip-down base so you can switch from standing to sitting during longer passages. The position feels well-judged for sightlines forward and across the beam, with plenty of space to move between the controls.

Front and centre are the latest Garmin GPSMAP 9000 displays - big, sharp and quick to respond - with full digital switching for fingertip control of every onboard system. You can set up the screens however you like, whether that’s full-width chartplotter, a mix of radar and engine data, or whatever combination suits the trip. The timber wheel is a nice piece of detailing, with a smooth, reassuring feel in the hands.

Power comes from twin Volvo Penta IPS 800s - modest for a yacht of this size - giving a top speed of around 22 to 23 knots and an easy cruising pace in the 16 to 17 knot range. That’s a deliberate move towards efficiency, with Bluegame quoting a 50 percent improvement over a monohull of similar size. The IPS setup means you also get precise joystick handling, which is especially welcome given the beam.

With the twin pods, wide stance and that joystick at arm’s reach, close-quarters manoeuvring should feel calm and controlled. From up here on the flybridge, with clear views in every direction and the controls exactly where you want them, it’s a helm designed to make both marina work and relaxed passagemaking feel straightforward.

Bluegame-BGM75-Review-helm-dashboard

The BGM75 doesn’t have a full lower helm, but there is a compact control station tucked into the layout. It carries the essentials - IPS joystick, bow and stern thruster controls, and navigation screens - so you can keep an eye on things or handle slow-speed manoeuvres without heading to the main helm. There’s also the option to have a joystick in the cockpit, which gives a much better view aft when docking.

It’s not set up for full-time driving, but as a secondary point for quick adjustments it’s genuinely useful. When you’re not using it, the whole unit disappears neatly - the panel drops down, the top flips over - and it blends straight back into the furniture as if it were never there.

On Deck

Aft, the tender garage sits neatly under the seating. The cushions disguise the mechanics, but the whole setup houses a proper launch system so the tender can roll out and into the water without fuss. It’s not a full-width hydraulic bathing platform, as the BGM75 carries its main platform to the side, but there is a central section that lowers into the water. Built-in steps appear as it descends, creating a comfortable staircase straight from sea to deck.

From here, access up to the mezzanine cockpit is via a single angled stairway on one side - an unusual and rather elegant touch. The arrangement creates two distinct zones: a water-level lounging area for swimming, boarding toys and general splash-about activity, and then the more elevated cockpit above.

On that mezzanine level, there’s relaxed seating with a view back over the water, well removed from the bustle at the transom. It’s a natural step-up in atmosphere as well as height - a place to sit back, enjoy the shade or sun depending on how the day’s set up, and take in the scene without being right in the thick of it. Near the saloon, the BGM75 opens into a relaxed spot that feels almost like a waterside terrace. It connects straight through to the interior, and the curved glass wrapping both corners is a lovely touch. It keeps the lines soft, avoids any hard angles, and naturally draws you forward up the port side deck.

Side Decks & Foredeck

The portside deck has serious width - more like a bowling alley than a walkway - and the tall bulwarks in place of guard rails give a secure, enclosed feel without interrupting the view. Moving forward, the coverage here is good, but once you step onto the foredeck it’s a little more open. Instead of solid rails, there are carbon fibre poles with tensioned lines. It’s still a huge space though, and this is where you really start to appreciate the profile. Even on sea trials it’s instantly recognisable as a Bluegame, and as their first multihull, it’s a striking one.

Bluegame-BGM75-Review-side-deck

The foredeck itself works as a single-level lounging area, dropping down into a well with a table in the middle. There’s storage tucked away here too, with forward anchor lockers and the rest of the working gear neatly integrated. The atmosphere stays more “social deck” than “working foredeck” though, which is exactly the point.

One of the details that lifts it is the teak running right to the bow - it ties the whole space together and gives that satisfying underfoot feel that only full-length teak can.

Flybridge

It’s worth remembering that the BGM75 measures 22.9m (75ft) overall - because standing on the flybridge, it feels far larger. Bluegame says the interior volume matches that of a 27.4m (90ft) monohull, and while that’s something to judge properly once inside, the space up here certainly makes a strong case. The layout works well, and the design has a real flow to it, helped by the natural wood detailing that draws your eye forward as you step aboard. Lighting and speakers are neatly built in, and the hard top provides plenty of shade without feeling heavy.

Furniture choice is flexible - owners can swap it to suit - but this arrangement feels well balanced. There’s a dining table for more formal meals, a group of relaxed sofas for lingering, and a line of sunbeds for when the heat is exactly what you’re after. The teak underfoot has that warm, smooth feel that makes wandering around barefoot a pleasure.

The wet bar sits centrally under the hard top, integrating neatly into the structure. There’s a grill to one side, a sink to the other, and the expected cooling storage built in beneath. As with the rest of the deck, the cabinetry makes good use of wood, and the finishing detail is beautifully handled.

Engine Room

Coming down into the engine room is a bit of a reality check as you've walked through this huge yacht and then find a pair of engines that look so small. These are Volvo Penta D8 IPS 800s, and for something with the living space of a 90-footer, they’re tiny. Bt smaller, lighter, more efficient. Bluegame reckons this setup needs about 50% less power than a monohull of the same volume, and their figures suggest you could save around 66,000 litres of fuel a year if you’re doing 300 hours. They’re linked to the pods with jack shafts, so the weight’s pushed further forward and the running trim stays spot-on. It’s clever thinking rather than brute force.

Getting in is refreshingly easy – shallow ladder, sensible hatch, no awkward gymnastics. You don’t have standing headroom all around the engines, but the floor drops by the pods so you can step down and move about without crawling over everything. Filters, seacocks, and the stuff you actually need to get to are right where you want them. Each hull has its own generator too, so you’ve got proper redundancy. It’s not the sort of space you’ll be showing off to guests, but for servicing and daily checks, it’s simple, logical, and very nicely put together – and every time you’re down here, you’re reminded that smaller engines mean bigger savings.

Our Verdict

So, what happens when Bluegame builds its first multihull? You get the BGM75 - a yacht that delivers the volume and stability benefits of twin hulls without losing the elegance or practicality of the brand’s monohulls. The narrower beam, efficient Briand hull form, and custom interiors by Lissoni make it feel like a fresh but familiar step for the brand. It’s quieter, more efficient, and offers a level of interior space you’d normally need a far bigger boat to match.

The narrower beam however does mean you sacrifice some of the deck spread you’d get on a wide cat, and without a lower helm you’re committed to driving from the flybridge in all conditions. But if you like the idea of multihull comfort wrapped in a package that still feels like a proper Bluegame, this debut model shows exactly how it can be done.

Reasons to Buy

  • Full-beam owner’s cabin
  • Hull’s super efficient on fuel
  • Looks nothing like a boxy cat

Things to Consider

  • Foredeck rails are pretty minimal
  • Beam’s slimmer, so less deck space (for a cat)

Rivals to Consider

The Aquila 70 Luxury is all about going big: big deck spaces, big accommodation and big performance. With up to four guest cabins plus the option for a fifth, it’ll happily sleep eight to ten guests and still give the owner a proper full-beam suite up front. Twin Volvo D13s push it to about 27 knots, so it’s the quickest of this bunch, and the hydraulic tender ramp and enclosed flybridge make it very practical for serious cruising. But that extra beam is a blessing and a curse - you get huge social areas, but you’re also dealing with a footprint that needs more marina space and can feel a little ungainly in tight berths.

The Prestige M8 is the floating penthouse of the group, with up to five guest cabins and an owner’s suite that feels like it belongs on a 26m monohull. It’s built for relaxed, stable cruising, topping out at about 20 knots and settling into a comfortable 15 knot cruise. The “Transformer” aft platform is clever (part swim deck, part tender lift) and the optional solar Silent Mode means you can loiter without engine noise. On the flip side, it’s not quick, and the sheer volume of the thing means you might spend more time thinking about where you can fit it than where you’ll take it.
