Is this the most complete Bluegame yet, or a yacht trying to cover too many bases? The BGX83 is the largest model the brand has built, and its new features raise the stakes.
It introduces a flybridge helm for the first time on a monohull, adds more volume, and brings more power. However, with added size comes added complexity - and this is the flagship, so it must balance everything that came before.

Review Video
The BGX83 is Bluegame’s largest yacht so far, and it finishes what the BGX63 and BGX73 started. The layout carries more usable space, internal volume, and longer, uninterrupted sections from stern to bow. It stays loyal to the crossover concept that is the BGX range and scales it across 25.6m (83ft 11in).
Luca Santella, who created the design concept, describes the BGX83 as a "genuine apartment on the water", and you can see that in how the spaces have been opened up to feel like a connected interior rather than a set of divided cabins.
Zuccon International has kept the shape recognisable, with a tall bow and the hull lines running smoothly towards the open aft deck. It has the pebble-like form of the smaller boats in the range. The 6.3m (20ft 8in) beam is carried well aft, giving the lower deck more room without adding height. This increase in width supports a full-beam owner’s suite and an expanded beach area at water level.
Interior design on the first hull was led by Piero Lissoni. He described his approach as a process of cleaning up the spaces and maintaining purity, and so materials are subdued, and the furniture is low and stylish.
The owner's suite is amidships and runs across the full beam, connecting directly to an aft saloon at water level, which opens onto the beach platform without any steps/barriers. This layout allows the aft area to become part of the owner’s private living space.
Depending on configuration, the yacht can include two or three additional guest cabins, but they are all located forward and benefit from the extra width gained over the BGX73. The crew quarters are placed forward as well and are separated from the guest spaces.
The hull is by Lou Codega, who’s drawn every BGX to date. His background spans decades of offshore work, from US Coast Guard cutters to fast sportfishing boats built to run hard and stay dry when the weather turns.
The shape here follows the same idea. There’s a sharp entry up front, a flatter run aft, and four reversed strakes that help lift the hull and soften the ride. It's designed to plane early, track well, and remain level when pushed. Built in GRP, it draws 1.8m (5ft 11in) and displaces around 72 tonnes at full load.
Most yachts this size put the owner somewhere in the middle. The BGX83 starts at the back and works forward, putting the full-beam owner’s suite right at the stern, where it connects directly to a water-level lounge. But step down and there's a sunken lounge, one of the signature features of the BGX range.
On this boat, it has more space, more ceiling height, and more connection to the outside. You’re still close to the water, but it no longer feels tucked in or hemmed by structure. Guests can use it during the day, but in the evenings it becomes part of the owner's domain. This dual purpose gives this level a degree of flexibility that’s hard to match at this length.
Galley and Main Deck Seating
The galley is on the main deck in the four-cabin layout, but it barely feels like one. It’s so well integrated into the surrounding space that it reads more like a bar until you start opening drawers. The materials are clean and weighty, and the detailing carries through the rest of the interior. In fact, the lid for the sink is so heavy and cumbersome that it almost feels unsafe.
There’s a solid countertop where you can lean, talk, and keep the conversation going while food or drinks are prepped. It feels sociable without dominating the space, and for a crewed boat, it still gives the owner the option to be part of the action.
Owner's Cabin
This is where the space (and the budget) has been focused. The owner’s suite runs full beam, set low in the hull, and connects directly to the aft lounge. A sliding partition lets you shut it off completely, but most owners will likely leave it open in the mornings and evenings. The window is huge, the ceiling height is generous, and the transition between each space is effortless.
There’s a TV hidden in the mirror, clean lines throughout, and detailing that feels lifted straight from Sanlorenzo’s bigger models. Woodwork runs across the ceiling and draws the space together without feeling heavy.
The bathroom is forward, past a walk-through wardrobe, and uses the same layout logic: toilet on one side, shower on the other, sink in the middle. In a relatively muted palette, things like the green marble used on the sinks add some welcome visual diversity.
There are two ways up to the main deck (one outside, one internal), so the owner can come and go without passing through guest spaces.
Three vs Four Cabin Layout
The BGX83 has two layout options below decks. Hull #1 had the four-cabin version, which places the galley on the main deck and keeps all four cabins below. If you opt for the three-cabin setup, the galley moves downstairs into the space occupied by the bunk cabin. That frees up the saloon for more seating and turns the main deck into a larger, more open social space.
The two main guest cabins are forward of the owner’s suite, one to port and one to starboard. They share the same layout, with double beds, ensuite bathrooms, and plenty of familiar touches from the rest of the boat. The ceiling panelling continues from the owner’s suite, complete with hidden lighting strips, and the cabinetry feels just as solid.
Natural light is limited, however, as each cabin gets just a single porthole, which opens for ventilation, but you’ll rely mostly on the lighting scheme to brighten things up. The design compensates with a light palette and warm materials. It never feels gloomy, but you won’t mistake these for cabins with hull windows or cutaway bulwarks. That said, the beds are full-sized, the bathrooms come with proper rain showers, and the wardrobes are generous - complete with auto lighting and top quality linings.
The fourth cabin is a bunk room (and the one that's sacrificed if you want the galley down). The layout stacks one bunk over the other, with decent clearance and just enough room to sit up in the lower bed. There’s a window, reading lights, and some built-in storage, but the materials are simpler and the detailing more sparse than in the doubles - and that’s no surprise.
This space is best suited to kids or occasional guests who don’t need a full suite. It shares the day head across the lobby, which includes a separate shower and can serve as a guest bathroom if the owner prefers to keep theirs private.
Crew Accommodation
The crew quarters sit forward and connect directly to the guest lobby. That internal access is a real plus, as on quite a few yachts of this size, crew are climbing down a tight hatch in the transom or bow. Here, they move through the boat more easily and can get out on deck fast when lines or tenders need handling.
This area is set up for three crew, with one single cabin and one twin bunk. It is possible to add a fourth berth if needed. Each space has its own bathroom, which helps keep things private and avoids clashing routines. There is a small mess area in the corridor, complete with laundry machines, a screen to monitor onboard systems, and basic storage.
The lower helm on the BGX83 doesn’t feel like it belongs on a yacht this size. It’s set far forward, just behind a shallow windscreen, and the sightlines stop at the saloon. You’re so close to the bow that it’s easy to forget how much boat is behind you.
The dash is slim with three large Garmin screens that cover navigation, systems, and power management. The software is skinned in Bluegame’s own interface, which looks good and makes things easy to follow. The side door next to the seat gives the crew a fast route to the deck, and while you can’t see aft, the cameras do a good job filling in the gaps.
The bench is wide enough for two, but it’s fixed in place. You sit fairly low, and the shallow windscreen means you’re better off standing if you want a clear forward view, but you can't adjust it. The controls are close enough, and everything falls to hand, but there’s room for a bit more flexibility in the seating.
There’s no shortage of power here. The boat runs on triple Volvo Penta IPS1200s, with 900hp each. That’s good for a top speed of 30 knots and cruising around 25 knots for a range of around 350nm.
With the additional flybridge helm, the BGX83 covers all the angles. It’s clearly built with crew in mind, but nothing is stopping a hands-on owner from taking charge. It appears to be a fairly small addition, but being able to handle this big, powerful beast from the top of the yacht should be quite the experience. That said, some adjustment is sorely missing to make this a really good helm position.
The tender lives on the port side, under the crane. Bluegame quotes space for a 4m (13.1ft) boat, but the deck feels big enough to hold something larger if needed. Opposite, there’s room for a jet ski or extra gear, though that depends on how the boat is specced. This first hull keeps the crane, which means only one side has a fold-down bulwark, but you can swap the crane out and open both sides if you prefer space over lifting power.
The platform itself drops into the water and becomes a launch zone, a swimming step, or a sun deck, depending on what you’re using the boat for that day. It’s a wide, solid platform, and set up to take the weight of a decent tender or a couple of loungers. There’s also a set of steps integrated into the surface to make water access simpler, and a shower set into the structure so you can rinse off straight away.
This is the first time Bluegame has fitted fold-down sides on a monohull, and the change makes a big difference. The aft deck now seems less like a tender bay and more like a waterside terrace. It’s one of the on-board features where the extra length of the BGX83 makes itself felt straight away.
There’s a lot of teak on this boat; it's obviously on the floor, but then it starts climbing up over the gunwales, along the steps, and into the underside of the deck overhang. It just gives the whole aft section a sense of continuity.
The mooring gear is laid out with minimal clutter and neatly integrates into the aft deck, which is important given that this is also a living space. Twin winches and fairleads are fitted close to the deck edge, which keeps lines tidy and leaves the rest of the space free to use.
Side Decks & Foredeck
The circulation on deck is one of the BGX83’s quieter strengths. There are barely any changes in level between the upper aft deck, the saloon, and the foredeck. Crew can move through the boat without interrupting the guest areas.
The decks feel quite high, and without railings, fenders will have to be hung with straps, which can put an extra burden on the deck storage. But with the aft deck angled towards watersports, the upper deck is a nicely linked living area with dining space aft and a lovely, comfortable deck space on the foredeck.
The foredeck on the BGX83 has turned what could be dead space into a well-furnished lounge. Two low split tables are between adjustable loungers, which can be set upright or laid flat depending on the mood. It feels like a calm spot to eat, read, or get out of the way when the aft deck is busy. And on a boat this size, there is enough width to walk through the middle without stepping on cushions or asking people to move.
On the smaller models, the canopy shade can feel tight. On the BGX83, even tall guests can sit upright in the forward lounge without brushing the headliner. There is shelter when you want it and sun when you do not. If you are anchored with a breeze coming over the bow, this will likely be a lovely, cool place to sit.
All the anchoring gear is hidden but well laid out. Cleats, windlass, and fairleads are all where they should be, with mouldings around them that feel smooth and solid. The foredeck keeps to the BGX style: clean lines, no railings, and cut-outs in the bulwarks to let in light and keep the view open.
Upper Aft Deck
Accessed via some steep steps, the raised cockpit above the aft deck is a more private outdoor space that links in to the main saloon. There’s deep, soft seating, space to dine or stretch out, and a wet bar hidden under a teak lid with twin fridges, a grill, and a sink. If the galley is below in the sunken lounge, this bar becomes even more useful as the go-to outdoor prep zone.
Flybridge
This is the first time Bluegame has put a helm station on the flybridge of a monohull, and it feels overdue. The view from up here is excellent. You’re high above the deck, with clean lines aft and a direct sightline over the bow. There’s a pair of big screens, a repeater for the joystick, and just enough protection from the low windscreen to keep the worst of the wind off your face.
It’s not perfect. The seat is set low, and the helm console sits high, which means shorter drivers might struggle to get a good view forward without standing. There is no real adjustment, and the wheel position could use a rethink.
The rest of the space around the helm is designed for company, with a wide bench, a small fridge under a hatch, and a dining table that drops down and converts to a sunpad. The layout is relaxed, with more loungers than chairs, and feels like a place to settle with a drink rather than a three-course meal.
That suits the boat as the flybridge isn’t trying to replace the aft deck. It just gives you one more place to sit, steer, or disappear up there for an hour when the marina’s full.
You'd expect some trade-offs with a triple-engine setup this low in the hull, but access on the BGX83 is more manageable than most. There’s a small inspection hatch for quick checks and two larger panels that lift when you need full access. The layout gives you what you need to move, check, and service the machinery without contorting around it.
The three Volvo Penta IPS1200s are mounted low and centred, and the twin generators sit against the aft bulkhead. Filters and through-hull fittings are easy to spot, and there’s good access to the Sleipner Vector fin stabilisers as well, which is not always a given in this kind of install. The stabilisers are active at rest and underway, which gives better all-round comfort than a gyro stabiliser alone.
The BGX83 has a quoted base price of €5.9 million ex VAT (correct at time of writing), which brings it in just under the Sanlorenzo SX88 and into range of high-spec flybridge cruisers around the 80-90ft mark.
The thing to keep in mind is the quality of Bluegame's engineering and fitout, the amount of equipment that comes as standard and the yard's openness to customisation, which allows buyers to make major changes to the layout and look of the interior. At this size, more of its competitors are open to this, but Bluegame's liberal attitude to personalisation pushes beyond the semi-custom barrier.
Our Options & Pick
The main consideration is which layout to go for, and we'd choose the four-cabin galley up version. It's less about the sleeping space as the bunk cabin isn't much to write home about, but more that having the galley on deck gives you a more sociable layout and a bigger galley, which doubles up as a bar.
It's position creates natural separation from the helm, too, and it's not as if there isn't enough seating in the main saloon.
Our Verdict
The BGX83 is the least compromised Bluegame so far. For a yacht this complex, it feels cohesive. It adds space without drifting into excess, and extends the BGX formula without losing what made it work. Nothing feels out of place. The transitions between spaces are smooth, the flow around deck is easy, and the owner’s area sits comfortably at the centre of it all.
The aft deck remains the strongest card. The connection to the water is direct, and the layout supports that with fold-down terraces and a wide hydraulic platform. There are trade-offs as the helm seating could use some adjustment, and the upper helm suffers slightly from its low position and exposed screen. The bunk cabin is compact, and the galley placement (up or down) will change the whole feel of the saloon.
The BGX83 makes a real case against larger flybridge cruisers and even nudges into Sanlorenzo’s own SX88 territory. It offers the same build quality with a less formal edge, and suits owners who want privacy, control, and space without a full crew or full displacement.

Rivals to Consider
The Sanlorenzo SX88 is above the BGX83 on paper, but the real crossover will come in their audience. Sanlorenzo owns Bluegame, and the BGX83 is perhaps starting to nibble into the SX88’s customer base. The SX88 is longer at 26.7m (87ft 7in), wider at up to 7.2m (23ft 7in), and built with more internal volume and more crew separation. It has a fully enclosed flybridge helm, a semi-displacement hull, and a lower cruising speed at around 20 knots with a top end of 23. The BGX83, with its triple IPS1200s, cruises at 25 knots and hits 30. It has less beam, less bulk, and fewer levels, but has the same core experience: a beach-focused layout, a full-beam owner’s suite, and a crossover format that puts flow and lifestyle first.
The Palm Beach PB85 approaches the same size from a completely different direction. It’s longer overall at 27.5m (90ft 3in), but lower, lighter, and tuned for long-range cruising at 21-23 knots with exceptional fuel efficiency. Built in carbon and E-glass composites with a proprietary V-Warp hull, it can run 700nm at cruise using around 58 gallons per hour - remarkable numbers for a boat this size. The layout is more traditional: a single-level saloon with forward helm, midships galley, and a closed cockpit aft. The BGX83 sacrifices some of that efficiency for more living space and bolder architecture, trading the PB85’s classical elegance for a beach club, flybridge helm, and split-level layout with a water-level saloon. The PB85 is a GT cruiser for experienced yachtsmen; the BGX83 is a modern crossover for owners who want space and pace.
The Bluegame BGX73 laid the foundation, and the BGX83 builds directly on it. The hull is longer - 25.6m (83ft 11in) versus 22.7m (74ft 6in) - and wider at 6.3m (20ft 8in) compared to 5.6m (18ft 4in), which allows for more cabin space, a larger beach area, and improved crew separation. The BGX83 adds a fourth cabin option, moves the helm up to the flybridge to free up the saloon, and introduces a hydraulic platform with fold-down sides that transforms the aft deck. Both yachts share Codega hulls, IPS drives, and a 30-knot top speed, but the BGX83 runs on triple engines instead of twin and cruises faster with more mid-range punch. An owner stepping up from a 73 to an 83 will find more volume, better crew accommodation, and a sharper balance between luxury and practicality - without giving up the core BGX character. For more details see the full BGX73 vs BGX83 Head to Head.
The Bluegame BG74 belongs to the original BG range, not the crossover BGX line - and that makes for a different experience. At 22.8m (74ft 10in), it’s shorter than the BGX83 but feels more open and exposed, with a 360° walkaround deck, open flybridge, and sunken aft cockpit designed for outdoor living. It’s a sportier boat in every sense: lighter at around 49 tonnes, quicker to accelerate, and built for wind-in-hair cruising. The BG74 still offers a full-beam master cabin and flexible interiors, but it lacks the water-level saloon and internal beach lounge that define the BGX83. The BG74 is about outdoor freedom; the BGX83 is about spatial immersion. One gives you maximum exposure to the sea, the other wraps you in it.
