Staged from 28 September to 1 October at Port Hercules, the Monaco Yacht Show sees Sanlorenzo’s Superyacht Division exhibit among industry leaders with two of the most successful models in its Superyacht fleet: 62Steel and Alloy. Sanlorenzo also celebrates the sale of its new flagship, the 73Steel, scheduled for delivery to an existing Sanlorenzo owner in 2026. Bluegame’s BG72 and BG42 are also at the show.
With its five decks and a gross tonnage of 1350 tonnes, the Sanlorenzo 62Steel is one of the most esteemed superyachts in the entire industry.
An impressive five-deck metal superyacht, first unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2021, the 62Steel boasts interior spaces that ensure maximum comfort for all guests. The special feature of this model is encapsulated in the owner’s suite area, an airy space located on the upper deck that offers a breathtaking panoramic view and is connected to an outdoor bow area of over 140 square metres: an entire deck for the exclusive use of the owner. 62Steel is as much about privacy as it is about conviviality, with the main deck area divided between the saloon and dining room and opening outwards onto the large pool with its transparent floor that becomes a sunbathing area when required. Four units of this metal giant have been sold to date, the third of which is scheduled for delivery in early 2023. The fourth unit, the project will grow to a length of 64 metres and will be renamed 64Steel.
Another proud representative of the brand’s values around the world, winner of the World Superyacht Awards 2022, and World Premiering at the show: the Sanlorenzo Alloy.
A fast-displacement model measuring 44.5 metres in length and made entirely of aluminium, Sanlorenzo Alloy is the perfect synthesis of the typological experimentation that the shipyard has been pursuing for years to bring new points of view on board, exploring ever new scenarios to offer owners and their guests. With a layout that moves away from the traditional layout of spaces to take the concept of liveability to the maximum, Alloy is a superyacht that opens up to the seascape by offering surprising spaces to be experienced both inside and outside. These include the owner’s cabin conceived as a private apartment of 147 square metres and organised on three levels connected to each other, with an indoor and an outdoor area.
The collaboration between the Sanlorenzo team and Bernardo Zuccon, who was responsible for the exterior design, made it possible to conceptualise, design and build a three-deck yacht that maintains sleek, essential lines and at the same time offers megayacht solutions thanks to its large volumes, in fact the GT are 490, the success of which is testified by the ten units sold to date.
On the docks of the Monaco Yacht Show, the BG72, the fleet’s elder sister, represents the brand’s innovative DNA. Filling a gap in the yachting market, the BG72 brings together admirers of both fly and open boats.
In addition to the disruptive BG72, Bluegame is also presenting the BG42 Big Game. This is an exceptional chase boat to accompany Sanlorenzo’s 62 Steel and Alloy superyachts on display. With this version of the BG42, dedicated to lovers of open sea fishing, Bluegame returns to its roots and expresses all its sporting soul. A model so unique that it will not go unnoticed in the marina, thanks also to the unique hull graphics created by Roberta Verteramo Art-Designer and the first-rate fisherman equipment.

Sanlorenzo’s sustained growth continues, once again confirming its undisputed leadership in the steel superyacht sector with a significant new sale.
Sanlorenzo’s Superyacht Division, recently sold the largest superyacht ever built by the yard, the 73Steel. Nine steel vessels have now been sold in 2022, increasing the 23-strong fleet of 44-73m superyachts currently under construction.
This new steel giant will have an overall length of 73 metres. An innovative diesel-electric propulsion system aimed at minimising emissions, and a completely unconventional layout will take the connection between interior, exterior and nature to a level not seen before. The exterior lines will, once again, be created by the Zuccon International Project studio, while the décor promises to be innovative and revolutionary.
“The design of the new 73Steel represents a fascinating new chapter in the yard’s history, not only because of its size, which is currently the largest ever built, but also because it is a testament to how strongly the company believes in the evolution and importance of a complex market such as the superyacht market.
The BGM75 benefits from increased stability, large volumes, and reduced fuel consumption, demonstrating the yard’s capacity for sustainable design. The ultra-efficient hull is derived from the America’s Cup. Designed by Philippe Briand, a world-renowned expert in the design of performance hulls, optimisation of the Volvo IPS propulsion system means 50% less power is required than mono hull vessels of the same volume.
Carbon in the hulls and the use of lightweight materials for all non-structural parts including furnishing components, also contribute to an impressive reduction in fuel consumption. An additional detail in sustainability is the production of 5kW of green energy, guaranteed by 56 solar panels that can be installed on the deckhouse.
As designers, we ca be nothing but proud, once again, to participate in this new adventure, basing our project research on the development of a design that, despite the large volumes available, is able to convey a principle of extreme dynamism, sportiness and contemporaneity. It is exactly this subtle dialogue between the search for a strong stylistic identity and a constant inspiration to stylistic features now consolidated within the brand’s DNA, that is the perfect interpretative key to this project.
Each line has been sculpted to emphasise the tension and plasticity of the forms, which seem to be in constant motion, without pause, modifying and adapting themselves with the aim of creating the perfect dialogue between interior and exterior spaces; a dynamic and incessant rhythm that aims at a formal evolvement able to reconstruct every time and in every detail that powerful identifiable language that has always characterised Sanlorenzo products.”

73Steel will be designed to create the most intense interaction between ocean and nature on board at multiple levels. This visionary design project perfectly balances form and function, innovation and technology, once again bringing something surprisingly unprecedented on board.
The focus on maximum comfort combined with meticulous attention to aesthetics will create spaces in which family intimacy and privacy will be at the heart of this unparalleled superyacht.
Sanlorenzo’s Ameglia shipyard enters the multihull segment with the build of the new BGM75. This groundbreaking vessel looks to the future; a platform for innovation that confirms the yard’s leadership in sustainability.
Something new is in the air, or rather in the water. But just what is it?
It is the new Bluegame, shrouded in mystery and ready to break the rules.
The BGM75 is the first model in the new BGM range, launching Bluegame into the multihull market. Far removed from conventional multihulls currently on the market, it could be said that Bluegame has created a new segment.
The BGM75, consistent with Sanlorenzo Group’s positioning, is first and foremost a luxurious, beautiful motor yacht that “by chance” has not one hull, but two. Not even considering this new feature can it actually be compared to any existing catamaran on the market; the length-to-width ratio, layout, full-beam owner’s cabin, reduced space required for mooring in the marina, and the cushioned perception of movement at sea, brings it closer to a monohull yacht.
The BGM75 benefits from increased stability, large volumes, and reduced fuel consumption, demonstrating the yard’s capacity for sustainable design. The ultra-efficient hull is derived from the America’s Cup. Designed by Philippe Briand, a world-renowned expert in the design of performance hulls, optimisation of the Volvo IPS propulsion system means 50% less power is required than mono hull vessels of the same volume.
Carbon in the hulls and the use of lightweight materials for all non-structural parts including furnishing components, also contribute to an impressive reduction in fuel consumption. An additional detail in sustainability is the production of 5kW of green energy, guaranteed by 56 solar panels that can be installed on the deckhouse.
Bernardo Zuccon and Piero Lissoni, tried and tested collaborators of the brand, have fully grasped the power of such an avant-garde project, giving a “futuristic” contribution to the external lines and a smart use of the interior volumes; one forgets that they are distributed over two separate hulls.
Always of the moment, maximum comfort, refinement and distinctive liveability are the hallmarks of all Bluegame models.
The superyacht and high-end motor yacht market is growing, especially in the sub 30m category and, according to the recent Global Order Book, Italian shipyards are leading the way by generating the greatest volume of yacht sales by unit globally. Nick Hatfield, Sales Manager at Sanlorenzo Yachts UK and Ireland, explains why the Italians are set to give the British motorboat manufacturers a run for their money in the UK.
As with most things Italian, their yachts are sleek, stylish and with uncompromising attention to detail – think Ferrari, Gucci and Bulgari for inspiration. The exclusive Italian motor yacht brands, such as Sanlorenzo and Bluegame, deliver these qualities with a point of difference: customisation.
“As the motoryacht market developed, everything started to look the same,” says Nick. “Manufacturers were using the same person to design the boat, its hull and the interior. Designers were creating fabulous interiors for villas and apartments which are much more suited to the task, but the boating industry wasn’t using them at that time.
“Sanlorenzo was the first brand to really tailor make a yacht in terms of customisation. It looked outside the industry for specialist talent and brought in big-name designers. The idea was that if someone was renovating their home, the designers could understand their preferences and translate these into the interior of their yacht.”
Many boating brands, including British builders, have followed suit and offer basic customisation for their clients, but the Italian brands have raised the game further.
“There are different levels of customisation,” Nick explains. “When buying a suit, you can walk into a shop and pick a suit off the shelf which will fit perfectly adequately. You could then take that suit to a tailor, who’d modify it to fit better. This is basic customisation and is what customisation means for many motorboat manufacturers; you take the base design and ‘customise’ it aesthetically with a different leather or wood finish.
“Alternatively, you could visit a tailor who starts with a piece of material. Everything is then made to measure for you, to your exact requirements. This is what Sanlorenzo and Bluegame offer as standard when they say ‘customisation.’
“We start with a hull, which is characteristically Sanlorenzo, but interior wise, it’s completely tailor-made. We bring in designers from all over the world, ensuring that fixtures, fittings and fabrics are all exactly what and where the client wishes. If they don’t like the galley location for example, we move it!”
However, this doesn’t apply to the exterior aesthetic: “Having spent a lot of time designing a boat that is classically beautiful with its iconic windows, providing a look not seen on any other vessel, Sanlorenzo understandably doesn’t want to play around with the external design,” explains Nick.
Having a tailor-made yacht does come at a premium cost, but many clients are willing to pay extra to get exactly what they want and to have a yacht which is truly unique to them.
The attention to detail that these brands offer is also catching the eye of potential owners in the UK.
One UK owner who purchased a Sanlorenzo last year says: “I have a yacht which is completely tailored to me, and I can’t begin to say how impressed I am with the attention to detail onboard. The ugly air intakes on the sides have been cleverly hidden, and the join where the hull and the deck meet aren’t visible, giving a beautifully clean hull.”
“It’s also a very quiet yacht – the level of consideration that’s gone into the removal of sound and vibration is second to none, with all rails and metalwork mounted on anti-vibration pads. This isn’t something I’ve experienced on my previous boats from a British manufacturer.”
But it’s not just Sanlorenzo making strides in the UK market; a brand new Bluegame BGX60 has just arrived in the UK. Boasting features not previously seen on this type of craft, it was chosen for its alternative approach to boat design, and it certainly turned heads at the recent British Motor Yacht Show.
“It seems that 60ft flybridge motorboats predominantly have the same layout across the brands. Designs haven’t changed for 20 years,” says the new owner, Mr Jones. “I wanted something different. The design of the Bluegame is both disruptive and innovative, providing a multifunctional layout and unprecedented space. The high level of standard specification, combined with robust engineering and redundancy normally associated with bluewater cruising yachts, really makes Bluegame stand head and shoulders above the norm.”
Nick continues: “Previously, Italian brands relied on selling to British owners through their Mediterranean dealer network. But as demand for larger motor yachts increases in the UK, Italian brands are opening local offices, offering services and support for their yachts to make them more attractive than before.”
With growing representation in the UK and a hunger to offer a point of difference, the Italian brands are certainly turning heads and making a significant impression on the market.
