Bluegame, part of the Sanlorenzo Group, will unveil the all-new BGF45 at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 (9–14 September). This 45-foot multihull yacht is the first model in the brand’s groundbreaking BGF range – a series inspired by America’s Cup technology and engineered to deliver the future of sustainable yachting.
Following the success of the Bluegame BGM series, the BGF range marks a bold evolution in the multihull segment. Designed for visionary yacht owners, the BGF45 combines cutting-edge hydrodynamics with sustainable innovation.
Drawing on expertise from the BGH-HSV, the world’s first hydrogen-powered foiling chase boat for the 37th America’s Cup, Bluegame has transformed extreme racing technology into a disruptive new line of leisure yachts.
The BGF45 has been developed in collaboration with renowned hydrodynamics experts Mario Caponnetto and Francis Hueber, who also worked on the BGH-HSV. Their input has refined the hull design, delivering exceptional performance and efficiency.
Bluegame has also partnered with global leaders such as Volvo Penta, Garmin, and Siemens Innovative Technology Partner to integrate advanced propulsion and navigation systems.
The BGF45 blends performance with spacious comfort. Designed by Luca Santella and Zuccon International Project, it offers:
With the launch of the BGF45, Bluegame redefines what a multihull yacht can be: daring, efficient, and deeply connected to the sea. Its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 marks not just the introduction of a new model, but the beginning of a new era in sustainable yacht design.

Confirming its status as the leading mono-branded shipyard, Sanlorenzo is premiering three new Sanlorenzo models at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival (9-14 September 2025).
Represented by Sanlorenzo Yachts UK, these new Sanlorenzo models span three of its most popular series from its Yacht range (24 to 40-metres), the SX, SL and SD Series.
In addition, the uncompromising Italian shipyard will be introducing a new foiled assisted range from its boundary breaking Bluegame brand.
As the new flagship of Sanlorenzo’s groundbreaking SX ‘crossover’ Series, the 36.92-metre SX120 embodies the brand’s dedication to combining luxury, sustainability and innovation.
A first for Sanlorenzo, the SX120 is also the first superyacht to feature Volvo Penta’s IPS Professional Platform – a state-of-the art propulsions system that enhances efficiency while reducing fuel consumption and emissions by up to 30%.
Beyond its sustainable propulsion, the smaller footprint of the IPS system enables a new standout feature: an expansive beach club with fold down sides that houses a fully glassed swimming pool. Designed with versatility in mind, the pool can be discreetly concealed beneath a sliding sunpad when not in use.
With an internal volume of 265GT, the SX120 emphasises seamless indoor-outdoor living and generous social areas. A drop-down transom creates a fluid connection to the sea, linking entertainment and relaxation zones and encouraging multigenerational enjoyment on board.
The yacht accommodates up to 10 guests across five fully customisable suites and offers quarters for five crew members in three cabins. Adding to its appeal, the SX120 introduces another first for the SX Series: a sundeck accessed via its own dedicated stairway from the flybridge, ensuring complete privacy for guests.
Making its global show debut, the new SL110A is the latest addition to Sanlorenzo’s pioneering Asymmetric series.
In this next-generation model of the popular SL Series, Sanlorenzo’s bold Asymmetric approach reimagines traditional yacht design by raising the port side deck to a higher level. This innovative layout significantly increases the interior volume to approximately 235 GT and strengthens the connection to the sea, with floor-to-ceiling windows and side-opening doors that lead to a spacious drop-down side terrace.
This widebody concept enhances onboard living, allowing the SL110A to accommodate ten guests across five generous cabins. Among them is an expansive, light-filled full-beam owner’s cabin, which offers stunning 270-degree views through the full-beam and side windows.
From the owner’s suite, a private entrance provides discreet access to the Jacuzzi, which connects via steps to the vast and fully customisable foredeck. This forward outdoor entertainment area is outfitted with large sunpads and an integrated seating arrangement, complete with ample table space for drinks or casual dining.
At the stern, the next-generation transom features a garage designed to house both a tender and a Jetski. The flush transom includes hidden folding stairs and transforms into a spacious bathing platform with easy steps up to the cockpit.
In addition, the new Sanlorenzo SD132 – launched in April – will be making its Cannes show debut. Measuring 40.7 metres, the SD132 is the largest composite-built yacht ever produced by Sanlorenzo and the new flagship of its historic semi-displacement line.
Building on the legacy of models in the SD Line, it delivers 420GT of internal volume – an extraordinary achievement for a yacht of this length – thanks to its intelligent, space-maximising design.
A defining feature is the 70-square-metre beach area, where fold-down terraces connect seamlessly with the aft cockpit, creating a vast, unobstructed terrace that invites a true connection with the sea.
Above, the 85-square-metre fly deck offers panoramic lounging and a forward living space complete with a crystal-clear mini pool and integrated sunbathing system.
The side-launching garage accommodates a 6.25-metre tender (rare at this size) and is paired with an additional forward hangar for toys or a rescue boat. With its sculpted volumes and tailored flexibility, the SD132 sets a new standard for long-range elegance.
Also on display in Cannes from Sanlorenzo will be the: SL86A, SL90A, SX88, SX100, SD90, SD96, and SP92.
A brand of Sanlorenzo, Bluegame will be debuting its innovative 45-foot foil assisted power catamaran, the BGF45 which draws inspiration for the BGH-HSV – the hydrogen-powered chase boat that Bluegame designed for the America’s Cup.
Embodying Bluegame’s commitment to sustainability and technological advancement, the BGF45 integrates a fixed foil system between its twin hulls that not only enhances stability and hydrodynamic efficiency, but also allows the yacht to skim across the water, reducing drag and improving fuel economy.
Despite its compact size, the BGF45 offers accommodation with a choice of two or three cabins. The owner’s cabin is located forward, featuring a transverse double bed and ensuite in the starboard hull. A VIP cabin is situated amidships to port, and a third cabin, suitable for a child or crew, is accessible from the cockpit dinette.
Also available to view in Cannes from Bluegame will be: BG54, BG74, BGX73 and BGM75.

Luxury yacht design has transformed dramatically over the past century. Once defined by ornate, handcrafted vessels for the elite, yachts have evolved into sleek, architectural marvels blending artistry, advanced engineering, and sustainable technology.
Each era reflects the cultural values, technological breakthroughs, and aesthetic preferences of its time — moving from pure prestige to personalised lifestyle statements on the sea.
Today, brands like Sanlorenzo Yachts lead this evolution, merging timeless Italian craftsmanship with forward-thinking innovation.
The origins of private yachting date back to the early 1900s, when royalty, aristocrats, and industrial magnates commissioned bespoke vessels as floating symbols of status and freedom. These “floating palaces” featured handcrafted wooden hulls, polished brass details, and nautically themed interiors.
After World War II, economic prosperity and technological advances brought yachting to a wider elite audience. Yachts shifted from being purely functional vessels to indulgent retreats, boasting spacious layouts, lavish interiors, and advanced navigation systems.
Materials – Wooden hulls gave way to aluminium, and now carbon fibre and advanced composites for lighter, faster, and more efficient yachts.
Styling – Traditional naval silhouettes have evolved into sculptural, minimalist forms inspired by modern architecture.
Interiors – Formal, compartmentalised layouts have opened up into flowing, light-filled spaces with panoramic sea views.
Global influence – Scandinavian minimalism, Italian artistry, and contemporary art now shape the aesthetic of modern superyachts.
In the early 20th century, yacht building was an art form. Every detail, from the joinery to the rigging, showcased skilled craftsmanship. These yachts balanced prestige and practicality, serving as platforms for leisure, diplomacy, and exploration. This commitment to artistry laid the foundation for today’s bespoke yacht design.
Modern luxury yachts are more than vessels – they’re floating architectural masterpieces:
Open-plan living – Indoor-outdoor spaces that connect you seamlessly with the ocean.
Beach clubs and fold-down terraces – Wellness-focused hubs with direct water access.
Innovative materials – Panoramic glass, sustainable wood, low-VOC finishes, and lightweight composites.
Lifestyle-first design – Spaces tailored for wellness, entertaining, and personal expression.
Sanlorenzo’s ‘Made to Measure’ philosophy ensures every yacht reflects its owner’s personality and lifestyle.
Designer collaborations – Partnerships with icons like Piero Lissoni and Patricia Urquiola merge marine engineering with contemporary interior design.
Innovative models – Groundbreaking designs like the SX crossover series, SL110A asymmetric layout, and 50Steel with a Green Methanol Reformer Fuel Cell system, enabling zero-emission hotel services onboard.
Award-winning excellence – Internationally recognised for elegance, innovation, and sustainability.
The next era of superyacht design will focus on technology, sustainability, and emotional luxury:
AI-assisted navigation for safer, more efficient cruising.
Modular interiors adaptable to different experiences.
Zero-emission propulsion via hydrogen fuel cells, hybrid systems, and solar integration.
Wellness-centred environments supporting mind, body, and spirit.
Sanlorenzo is already steering toward this future — merging sustainable engineering with bespoke artistry to create yachts that are both timeless and forward-looking.
Designing a yacht is a deeply personal journey. At Sanlorenzo Yachts UK, we believe your vessel should be more than a means of travel — it should be an expression of your lifestyle at sea.

Presenting a new architectural statement in yachting, the Sanlorenzo SL110A blends elegant form with purposeful innovation. As the latest evolution of the Sanlorenzo’s acclaimed asymmetrical line, it reimagines what a 33-metre yacht can be – offering expansive light-filled interiors, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and a deeper connection to the sea.
Debuting at the Cannes Yachting Festival (9–14 September), the SL110A is a vessel for owners who demand beauty without compromise, and versatility with vision.
“SL110A is a clear statement of Sanlorenzo’s design philosophy – where architectural purity meets innovation with purpose, yet elegance,” says Tommaso Vincenzi, CEO of Sanlorenzo.
“The SL 110A concept embodies the sophisticated spatial ergonomics that made the iconic SL108 a true industry benchmark, setting her clearly apart from competition. It was this very design vision that, twenty years ago, enabled Sanlorenzo to establish itself in the larger yachts segment.
“The asymmetry is not just aesthetic: it unlocks greater interior space, uninterrupted views, and a feeling of openness that transforms life on board. It’s a yacht designed for those who appreciate elegance and architectural intellect in equal measure.”
A result of the collaboration between Sanlorenzo and Zuccon International Project for the exterior design and Piero Lissoni, Lissoni & Partners, for the interiors, the SL110A represents an authentic and accomplished synthesis of design, functionality, comfort and performance with her speed reaching up to 27 kn.
The perfect balance of form and function
The SL110A marks the culmination of a design journey that began with the SL102A and evolved through the SL106A. Its elegant, timeless lines and carefully reduced stylistic elements create a refined profile that transcends trends. Subtle asymmetry enhances visual harmony while also unlocking more liveable interior volume. A technical innovation – staggered gangways on the starboard and port sides – allows the gangway area to be absorbed into the interior layout, further increasing spaciousness and comfort.
Architectural intellect and adaptability
The reimagined bow, developed with Lissoni & Partners, eliminates the typical aerodynamic ‘bonnet’ in favour of a true sea-facing terrace, complete with integrated sofas and a swimming pool. The result is a minimalist yet elegant retreat, optimised for liveability and connection with the water. A hidden hatch cleverly conceals the mooring area, ensuring cleaner lines and improved usability.
The stern continues the design narrative, with references to the SL86A interpreted through a modern lens. A transparent gunwale creates a seamless connection between cockpit and sea, while the pivoting beach platform reveals a garage for both tender and jet ski. Retractable stairs and gangways preserve the yacht’s clean silhouette. The versatile outdoor lounge on the main deck can shift from sunbathing to dining without fixed configurations, underscoring the yacht’s flexibility.
Bernardo Zuccon, Zuccon International Project, comments: “Asymmetry on SL110A is not simply a formal gesture, it’s a language of space and intent. It allows us to sculpt wider interiors, open panoramic views, and dissolve boundaries between inside and out. In every curve and volume, there is a deliberate move toward an architecture that enhances the owner’s connection to the sea.”
Elegant and sophisticated interiors
The interior architecture of the SL110A is conceived as a continuation of the exterior experience. Large windows, retractable bulwarks, and sliding gunwales allow light and air to pour in, dissolving boundaries and enhancing the sensation of space. Guests can enjoy a lounge that opens onto the sea via a drop-down terrace, creating an expansive, immersive environment.
“Given her new proportions, dimensions and clean lines, I believe the SL110A is one of the most elegant yacht Sanlorenzo’s ever produced – perhaps one of the most elegant yacht currently in production,” says Piero Lissoni, Lissoni & Partners. “She has a design language that is increasingly architectural and distinctly less naval.”
It is this fusion with the exterior environment that enhances the experience of the owner and his guests, allowing ample breathing space in an interplay between the interior and the sea.
Highlighting this, when the boat is at anchor on the starboard side it is possible to pull down the bulwark and open up a terrace overlooking the sea. The same effect is recreated by the gunwale that slides downwards, widening the window below to allow guests to fully enjoy the outside environment, being closer to the sea.
A sanctuary at sea
At the heart of the SL110A lies the wide-body, full-beam owner’s suite – conceived as a true sanctuary. It provides panoramic sea views, total privacy, and direct access to the foredeck pool. A private entry connects the master cabin with the bow and upper decks, allowing the owner to enjoy separation while staying connected with every corner of the yacht. This intelligent use of space elevates comfort and intimacy at sea.
Below deck are four guest cabins (two VIP, two convertible twin/doubles) and generous crew quarters with three cabins, six berths, and a separate mess to ensure operational privacy.
The flybridge mezzanine houses the wheelhouse, while offering the flexibility to create a sunbathing lounge, al fresco dining area, or private retreat with direct access to the pool.
Dark wood panelling, coffered ceilings with resin finishes, herringbone patterns, and stone-effect materials define the yacht’s refined interior atmosphere. The owner’s bathroom is finished in luxurious Calacatta marble.
The SL110A is more than a yacht – it is a design statement.
From the sculpted asymmetry that expands space and light, to the seamless interplay between interior and exterior, it redefines the relationship between form and function.
Crafted for discerning owners who seek grace, vision, and personal connection with the sea, this is asymmetry perfected, space redefined.
This exceptional new model will be on display for the first time at the Cannes Yachting Festival, 9-14 September.

Sanlorenzo has unveiled its new SX120, the largest-ever yacht in its crossover range, heralding a pioneering new product concept which breaks the mould of traditional yachting and reinforces Sanlorenzo’s position as an industry leader. This incredible new model will be on display for the first time at the Cannes Yachting Festival, 9-14 September.
Representing the shipyard’s commitment to both product evolution and innovation, the SX120 is the first yacht to feature the pioneering new IPS (Inboard Performance System) Professional Platform, developed by Volvo Penta. The innovative IPS Professional Platform uses twin 1,000 HP engines per pod, delivering the performance of larger engines with a smaller footprint, reduced fuel consumption, and lower emissions. Its introduction is fully aligned with Sanlorenzo’s pathway to reducing environmental impact, commitment and promotion of sustainability in the nautical sector.
SX120 fuses pioneering technology with cutting-edge nautical design, headlined by an inspiring 70 sqm beach area featuring opening side decks, a 360° panoramic view from the upper deck, a sun deck with configurable smart island. The beach area, moreover, offers her owners the flexibility of a retractable swimming pool, which can be covered or uncovered through a lift and slide mechanism of the sundeck to ensure aesthetic usability, privacy, and safety in navigation.
Fusing flying bridge and explorer
A synthesis between the classic motoryacht with a flying bridge and the explorer range, the SX line is designed to efficiently and harmoniously integrate style, adaptability and functionality, transforming navigation and life on board into a new and engaging experience. Consistent with the stylistic features of the range, the SX120 has sleek, sporty lines and its wide onboard spaces are seamlessly connected with the external environment. With its 270 GT tonnage and 37-metre length, SX120 is the largest vessel built according to the brand’s revolutionary SX concept.
“SX120 represents the natural evolution of a range that has changed the way yachting is conceived and redefined the experience of living on board, introducing a new idea of space, livability and connection with the sea,” says Tommaso Vincenzi, CEO Sanlorenzo.
“The new flagship of the SX line combines functionality and aesthetics, simplicity and elegance, performance and sustainability in a single product. In addition, the SX120 is the first yacht of a big size to integrate Volvo Penta’s new IPS Professional Platform, a compact and efficient system prepared for the use of hybrid energy sources, and designed to improve performance, autonomy and comfort while sailing. This innovative propulsion platform allows for the achievement of certainly unique design solutions related to the use of efficient PODs drive even on large yachts”
Once again, the perfect conceptual and formal balance between the boat’s exteriors and interiors stems from the collaboration with Zuccon International Project and Piero Lissoni, who enhance with their usual elegance and mastery all the potential of this yacht with its essential and sophisticated design.
Innovation and comfort: unprecedented space for an extendable beach area
“The Sanlorenzo SX120 is a project that is a manifesto of the evolutionary path that the SX range has taken in recent years,” says Bernardo Zuccon, Zuccon International Project.
“A journey that – with SX88, SX76, SX112 and then SX100 – has unequivocally demonstrated the concept’s ability to decline in different dimensions. An evolution that has not limited itself to recalibrating the proportions of a basic design but has led to the creation of boats with their own identities, equipped with features and design solutions that justify the positioning of each model within the range.”
Across its four decks, the SX120 is characterised by a total rethinking of space, and by the displacement of volumes to the bow and an impressive aft cockpit, completely dedicated to bathing activities. Stepping aboard, you encounter one of the boat’s distinctive elements: the 40sqm beach area that, thanks to opening side terraces, can extend up to 70sqm.
The entire platform allows maximum connection with the sea through convenient water access on three sides. The same beach area also houses a ‘pop-up’ pool, which can be covered or uncovered through a lift and slide sundeck mechanism to ensure optimal sailing conditions. A unique solution on the market, a symbol of Sanlorenzo’s research and attention to detail.
A few steps connect the beach area with a large, cozy and bright lounge, an ideal continuation of the outdoor space. The lower deck also houses four guest cabins, one of which can be kept open as a lounge or closed to convert it into a cabin, a small hammam and the crew area.
The generous aft spaces onboard the SX120 are the direct result of the use of Volvo Penta’s IPS Professional Platform. This platform, designed for the modular integration of both traditional and alternative energy sources, stands out for its extreme compactness and optimised propulsion architecture. These features enable a significant reduction in the engine room space, freeing up valuable volumes that can be repurposed during the design phase for the owners, guests and crew.
“From the propulsion point of view,” says Nicola Pomi, VP Marine Sales Yacht and Superyacht Division. “Volvo Penta’s IPS Professional platform represents a technological evolution geared toward efficiency. The system makes use of steerable units and hydrodynamically optimised counter-rotating propellers, which allow a significant reduction in energy losses and a marked improvement in manoeuvrability, especially at low speeds.”
A distinctive feature of the platform is the Eco Mode function, which is a new smart feature that automatically adjusts engine power based on real-time demand to optimise fuel consumption, reduce emissions and mechanical wear. The platform will consider optimal fuel consumption and engine run-time hours to engage the engine with the least hours for a given scenario. This will improve efficiency and extend service/maintenance intervals. The propulsion is equipped with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) exhaust gas treatment service.
The benefits are clear: lower specific fuel consumption, reduced harmful emissions and decreased noise levels – all contributing positively to both the marine environment and onboard comfort. Aligned with Sanlorenzo and Volvo’s vision for more sustainable yachting, Eco Mode and the SCR represent a concrete solution balancing performance and environmental responsibility.
Brightness, flexibility and open views of the sea: the elegance of essential
“The SX120 is the latest addition to the SX family, which I think is the most creative range in living memory in yachting in the last 30 years,” says Piero Lissoni, Lissoni & Partners. “The SX120 is a spectacular floating architecture. We took all the things the other SXs taught us and put them here. It has beaches, floors that interconnect, big openings…a real floating villa in the body of an absolutely extraordinary project that the SX is.”
Moving up to the main deck, the attention is drawn to a vast saloon, enveloped in natural light thanks to the large windows, where a magnificent sculptural wooden staircase, clad externally in steel, bears the unmistakable signature of Piero Lissoni. Inserted in the centre of the boat, it is an element that adds value to the environment, and at the same time a functional solution that allows a fluid connection between the decks.
The main deck also houses aft, a dining area open on three sides, which can accommodate up to 14 guests and from which the salon is accessed through the transparencies of a large window. The positioning of the guest cabins on the lower deck made it possible to devote the forward part of this deck completely to the bright master bedroom with a sea view, which enjoys direct access to a space in the bow, an area that can be equipped as a sundeck or a patio, with a coffee table and an outdoor lounge.
Climbing the elegant staircase leads to the upper deck, which boats an amazing 360-degree view open to the horizon. The spacious interior is designed with great flexibility to become a dining area, media room or play room at the owner’s request.
The upper deck then opens onto a cozy lounge overlooking the sea, connected via an external staircase to one of SX120’s most original innovations: the flybridge, which, for the first time on this type of yacht, is transformed into an elegant sun deck. A new concept is introduced here, the Smart Island, a modular seating system that can be freely configured and equipped with additional features. A reserved, almost hidden space in which to enjoy maximum privacy.
