A symbol of Italian excellence in yacht design, Bluegame will unveil its new flagship – BGX83 – on the opening day of the boot Düsseldorf boat show (17 – 25 January 2026).
The long-anticipated evolution of the BGX range, BGX83 is bigger, bolder, more functional and more luxurious than ever – representing the pinnacle of a design journey that has redefined contemporary yachting.
“BGX83 is the clearest statement of who we are today,” says Carla Demaria, CEO of Bluegame. “The very first units are already secured by clients prior to launch, to loyal Bluegame owners now embarking on their third Bluegame journey.
“This level of trust and loyalty is our greatest achievement, and it confirms that BGX83 is not just a flagship, but a milestone for the brand.”
The owner-centric approach
BGX83 embodies the pinnacle of owner-centric design, combining unprecedented volumes with uncompromising functionality.
The architecture of BGX83 offers significantly more space and volume compared to its predecessors, particularly in the stern. The signature beach area evolves into a bigger open-air lounge: in addition to the hydraulic up-and-down platform, the yacht now features a starboard side opening, expanding the width and enhancing the area’s connection to the sea.
Located at water level, the aft salon links directly to the beach area, creating a seamless flow between exterior and interior and allowing the aft salon to serve as a private extension of the owner’s suite. The full-beam master cabin – spanning an impressive 6.3 metres in width – connects directly to this salon, offering the owner a superyacht-level apartment with an outdoor feel. On this same level (and depending on the chosen layout) two or three VIP cabins offer generous dimensions that surpass their category competitors.
Well-designed, discreet crew quarters ensure impeccable service and onboard efficiency.
Designed for living
On the main deck, Bluegame leverages an asymmetric design featuring a single staircase on the starboard side to maximise the dining area. This creates space for a customisable outdoor bar and kitchen unit, adding a further layer of personalisation for the owner. Inside, the upper salon impresses with 360-degree glazing and two large opposing sofas, a layout choice that immediately conveys a superior class yacht aesthetic.
“With the BGX83, we pushed the crossover philosophy to its absolute limit,” comments Luca Santella, Founder and Head of Product Strategy at Bluegame.
“We created a genuine apartment on the water where the perception of inside and outside disappears. From the expandable beach club to the full-beam master suite, every line is designed to deliver a superyacht experience in an 83-foot yacht.”
Technical excellence and world class design
Debuting in Düsseldorf, BGX83 gives robust performance with three Volvo Penta IPS 1200 engines, delivering a cruising speed of 28 knots and a max speed of 30 knots.
This yacht stands as a testament to a powerful creative synergy between three defining figures in the industry. The project’s revolutionary concept originates from the vision of Luca Santella, who has pushed the crossover philosophy to its ultimate expression, anticipating the desires of the modern owner.
This vision is enveloped in the unmistakable exterior lines by Zuccon International Project, creating a sophisticated profile that evolves the brand’s DNA while maintaining its rugged elegance.
Completing the design trio and curating the interiors of this premiere unit, Piero Lissoni infuses the spaces with a high-concept architectural purity and a refined Italian character that perfectly balances the yacht’s bold external architecture.
Every element, materials, geometry, layout and spatial flow, has been conceived to deliver an experience unmatched in its category.
BGX83 is not simply Bluegame’s new flagship: it is poised to become the flagship for those who demand uncompromising design and purposeful functionality, because on this yacht every need is anticipated. Nothing is redundant, and nothing is missing.

Following a year defined by significant product innovation and growth from the Sanlorenzo shipyard, we are delighted to announced our plans to open a landmark showroom on Park Lane, Mayfair in early 2026.
Bringing one of the world’s most established yacht builders to Central London for the first time, this strategic move reflects our continued confidence in the UK market and highlights London’s enduring status as a global nexus for luxury goods and experiences. In recent years, the company has seen a strong increase in demand from clients seeking a truly bespoke approach to yacht design and ownership.
“The opening of our London showroom marks a natural progression in our business growth strategy,” says Nick Hatfield, Managing Director of Sanlorenzo Yachts UK. “Reinforcing our commitment to our UK clientele, it places the brand firmly at the heart of one of the world’s most influential luxury hubs and allows prospective owners – and those new to yachting – to begin their Sanlorenzo journey without leaving the capital.”
Sanlorenzo is the world’s leading mono-branded shipyard for yachts over 24-metres. Its success lies in a bespoke, design-led approach that allows owners to co-create their yacht in partnership with world-renowned architects and interior designers. Each yacht blends advanced engineering with Italian artistry and craftsmanship, featuring innovations such as asymmetric layouts, glass-walled pools and expansive beach clubs that redefine space, light, and connection to the sea.
The new Park Lane showroom will serve as a central client hub for UK-based owners. Designed as a boutique consultation space, it will offer a refined environment where clients can explore the Sanlorenzo and Bluegame (a brand of Sanlorenzo) ranges, review design concepts, and receive expert advice on ownership, build, and charter.
“Charter remains a vital part of our strategy, providing a gateway for those new to yachting,” explains Hatfield. “Discerning individuals are moving away from conventional luxury travel and seeking experiences entirely on their own terms. Through Sanlorenzo’s charter fleet, clients can enjoy personalised itineraries, exceptional service, and complete privacy – offering an authentic introduction to the brand and, for many, the first step towards ownership.”
Founded in 1958 in Tuscany, Italy, Sanlorenzo has evolved to become one of the most respected and forward-thinking shipyards in the world. Under the leadership of Executive Chairman Massimo Perotti, the company has achieved two decades of sustained growth and leads the industry in design, engineering, and sustainability.
Sanlorenzo’s global order book continues to grow, driven by strong demand and the shipyard’s unwavering commitment to providing clients with a yacht-building experience unlike any other.
Hatfield concludes: “With the new Park Lane showroom opening in 2026, complementing our existing base in Swanwick, Southampton, Sanlorenzo Yachts UK is well positioned for continued growth and success in the years ahead.”
Sanlorenzo Yachts UK is part of the Ancasta Group.

In the world of luxury yachting, few names hold the quiet power and poise of Sanlorenzo. Across every series, the shipyard has nurtured a deep commitment to individuality – crafting yachts not as fixed products, but as personal extensions of the people who own them.
Within the celebrated SD semi-displacement range, the SD90 stands out for its ability to blend generous volumes, sculpted design, and an extraordinary level of onboard customisation.
More than anything, this yacht is defined by its capacity to become whatever you envision. It is a yacht designed not simply to be lived on, but to be shaped around your way of living.
With a hull length of under 24-metres and an overall length just shy of 28 metres, the SD90 captures the proportions and purposeful elegance that define the range. The exterior lines by Zuccon International Project are graceful – modern yet infused with the timelessness expected of a true navetta style yacht.
The result is a yacht that feels quietly confident: a vessel that expresses strength through balance, and sophistication through restraint.
The SD90 spans two and a half decks, featuring an open flybridge, a main deck arranged for fluid indoor-outdoor living, and a versatile lower deck. This multi-level configuration, combined with careful volumetric tuning, allows the yacht to offer living spaces usually associated with much larger vessels.
The SD90’s layout is a triumph of spatial thinking. Every area of the yacht presents options: ways to relax, ways to entertain, and ways to carve out private moments. And, crucially, every one of these spaces can be adapted to reflect your tastes and lifestyle.
The main deck immediately highlights this customisable approach. At its heart lies a saloon crafted for both ease and elegance, where modular furnishings and adjustable tables allow the space to shift effortlessly between lounge, dining, or open social area.
These flexible arrangements are a hallmark of Sanlorenzo design.
Forward, the full beam owner’s cabin offers notably generous proportions with an architectural character all its own. Here, palettes, materials, and textures can be curated to evoke any mood: serene coastal retreat, ultra-modern suite, or warm residential sanctuary. The space can be personalised not only aesthetically but conceptually, reflecting how you want to wake, relax, or retreat while at sea.
The bow area of the main deck also comes with two distinct configuration possibilities. One prioritises relaxation – ideal for peace and tranquillity at anchor – while the other enhances sociability, perfect for larger gatherings. Both offer immediate, uplifting views across the water and reinforce the yacht’s open connection to the sea.
Above, the flybridge offers an open, minimal, and beautifully proportioned social area. You may opt for a more lounge-centric layout, or you may prefer to emphasise dining, sunpads, or a bar for evening entertaining, while the lightweight T-top maintains the architectural purity of the yacht’s silhouette – providing shade where it is needed.
On the lower deck, the theme of transformability continues. The three cabins follow Sanlorenzo’s philosophy of harmonious proportion and purposeful simplicity but can be shaped to mirror your needs – whether for family or guests.
Natural light is encouraged throughout thanks to thoughtfully placed glazing, while material selections can be endlessly tailored – chosen in collaboration with Sanlorenzo’s design teams or your preferred stylist.
A defining characteristic of the SD90 is the continuity between interior and exterior environments. Large windows dissolve visual barriers, while a fully opening panel in the saloon links seamlessly to the cockpit.
Externally, One-Way glazing conceals the window lines behind a clean sweep of hull colour, restoring purity to the yacht’s silhouette. This is Sanlorenzo craftsmanship at its finest: deliberately minimal, flawlessly executed.
Within the SD range, the SD90 occupies a special place – compact yet voluminous, understated yet architecturally rich, flexible enough to suit weekend cruising, long passages, or extended summers at sea. Above all, it is a yacht defined by freedom: the freedom to shape your surroundings, set your pace, and curate every detail of your life onboard.
With the SD90, Sanlorenzo offers not just exceptional design, but the rare opportunity to create a yacht that feels unmistakably like home – because it is built around you.
To step onboard the Sanlorenzo SD90 at the boot Düsseldorf boat show, and to begin the creative journey toward owning your own Sanlorenzo yacht, book a private appointment with our specialist team.

15 years after the launch of its first steel yacht, Sanlorenzo writes the next chapter in its story of evolution with the debut of the 58Steel, a refined and extended successor to the acclaimed 57Steel
Featuring an all-new diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system and a reimagined concept of onboard space, 58Steel embodies the brand’s philosophy of elegance, proportion and innovation. This is superyacht design, not just made to measure but made for tomorrow.
When Sanlorenzo launched its first steel yacht in 2010, it redefined expectations of what steel could be, combining strength with elegance, restraint and proportion. Today, the brand’s impressive steel line has become the most defined in the segment under 2,000 GT. Now, the new 58Steel, designed by Zuccon International Project for the exteriors, represents a further evolution of this legacy — one metre longer, yet infinitely more versatile. With a completely new platform, an expanded beam of 10.8 metres and the introduction of diesel-electric hybrid technology, enabling zero-emissions cruising, it unlocks greater space, efficiency and silence.
“The 58Steel embodies the belief of a superyacht that redefines proportion, privacy and performance, offering a new dimension of silent, sustainable cruising,” says Massimo Perotti, Executive Chairman of Sanlorenzo.
“It represents our ambition to remain the benchmark in yachts up to 2,000 GT, with our expanded steel line now spanning six individual superyachts that set the standard for design and desirability.”
While drawing inspiration from the 57Steel design, 58Steel evolves it completely, offering interior volumes comparable to those of a 64-metre yacht. Every aspect has been conceived with flexibility and personalisation in mind, offering an onboard experience tailored entirely around the owner’s lifestyle.
Expansive volumes and customisable layouts deliver the comfort of a larger yacht, with two full-beam VIP cabins on the lower deck and a Supreme VIP on the main deck. The upper deck transforms into a secluded owner’s sanctuary: a panoramic suite with pool, office, dressing area, and a lounge convertible into a private cinema – also the perfect configuration for charter purposes.
At the stern, the beach club opens on three sides to create a floating terrace, complete with bar, hammam, gym, and beauty salon – a space designed for connection to the sea through light, silence and simplicity.
At the heart of the 58Steel lies a revolutionary diesel-electric propulsion system, the first of its kind in Sanlorenzo’s steel line.
This new configuration marks a decisive step towards sustainability, reducing emissions by around 10% compared with conventional propulsion and enabling up to two hours of silent cruising or up to eight hours of zero-emissions hotel operation while at anchor.
The system is based on five 425 kW generators and a 1 MWh capacity battery pack. Its modular design enhances efficiency and flexibility, while azimuthal pods with rotating propellers improve manoeuvrability and reduce vibration and noise.
The entire engine room has been re-engineered to occupy a single deck, freeing up more than 40m² of additional space – a remarkable achievement that has been repurposed to expand the guest and beach areas.
“This yacht represents evolution, not repetition. With its diesel-electric propulsion system at the core, the 58Steel unlocks new horizons of freedom: more space, more light, greater efficiency and a profound connection to the sea,” says Tommaso Vincenzi, CEO of Sanlorenzo.
“Each detail reflects our time-honoured DNA – elegance, restraint and experiential purity – reaffirming our commitment to meaningful innovation in harmony with design.”
The interiors, crafted by Sanlorenzo’s Style Department, reflect a vision where engineering excellence meets design purity. A warm, tactile colour palette -combining dark woods with Calacatta Borghini marble, mother-of-pearl, and champagne-finished accents create a sense of understated luxury.
Every element has been custom designed in line with Sanlorenzo’s made-to-measure philosophy, transforming space into a narrative of balance and proportion.
Two full-beam VIP cabins on the Lower deck offer natural light through panoramic windows, while the Supreme VIP on the Main deck rivals the comfort and privacy of an owner’s suite.
The main deck lounge opens seamlessly onto an infinity pool, creating an unbroken dialogue between interior and exterior spaces. Above, the owner’s deck becomes a private residence suspended over the sea, complete with spa bathroom and full-height glazing that dissolves the boundary between interior and horizon.
The exterior lines of 58Steel reflect a language of timeless proportions and architectural definition, a clear stylistic expression of the Roman studio. Its sculptural surfaces make Sanlorenzo’s approach to steel explicit: not as a material of excess, but of balance and innovation.
The bridge deck, extended by one metre, has been redesigned to enhance both aesthetics and functionality, merging technology and artistry in equal measure.
At the stern, the three-sided beach club remains one of the yacht’s defining statements – a luminous retreat that transforms engineering precision into an experience of pure wellbeing.
As Sanlorenzo celebrates 15 years of leadership in steel yacht design, the launch of 58Steel reaffirms the brand’s pioneering role in redefining the 55 to 60 metres segment. It stands as a testament to a philosophy where innovation and elegance are inseparable – where technology serves emotion, and craftsmanship meets conscience.
Because at Sanlorenzo, the journey of steel is never finished – it continues to evolve.

The Mediterranean has long been at the heart of luxury yachting. Its historic coastlines, sapphire waters, and glamorous harbours are the backdrop to the world’s most exclusive on water experiences.
Whether you’re seeking energetic nightlife, secluded anchorages, or cultural discovery, the Mediterranean offers an itinerary to match. Sanlorenzo Yachts UK’s Managing Director, Nick Hatfield, offers his insight into the top 10 luxury yacht cruising and chartering destinations in the Mediterranean, each with its own story, style, and allure.
Corsica offers raw beauty and a spirit of adventure. Bonifacio’s medieval old town sits high above limestone cliffs, while the island’s rugged interior feels a world away from the polish of the Côte d’Azur. Here, luxury lies in the wild landscapes and hidden anchorages.
Why go: For a taste of authenticity with a dash of French elegance.
Who it appeals to: Families, outdoor enthusiasts, and yacht guests preferring privacy and unspoiled surroundings.
This is where rustic Italian charm meets international luxury. Porto Cervo is a magnet for the superyacht elite, with designer shopping and exclusive beach clubs, while just offshore the Maddalena Islands reveal turquoise lagoons and wild coastlines.
Why go: To experience one of Europe’s most exclusive yet naturally stunning cruising grounds.
Who it appeals to: Wealthy holiday makers, celebrities, and adventurous travellers arriving by yacht who want both glamour and untouched beauty.
Few yachting experiences compare to island-hopping across Greece. Picture yourself enjoying Santorini’s sunsets from your deck, visiting Mykonos’ buzzing beach clubs, or exploring Corfu’s lush green anchorages. The Ionian offers calm waters ideal for families, while the Dodecanese charms with ancient ruins and forgotten harbours.
Why go: Endless variety, timeless beauty, and sailing conditions that make every passage a pleasure.
Who it appeals to: Party-loving millennials in Mykonos, families in the Ionian, and culture seekers wishing to explore Greece’s deep history.
Cruising the Dalmatian Coast feels like stepping into a living museum. Dubrovnik’s medieval walls rise up from the Adriatic, Hvar buzzes with chic nightlife, and the Kornati archipelago provides untouched islands for complete seclusion. Clear waters and calm seas make this an increasingly popular region for yachting.
Why go: Culture, history, and nature – all in perfect balance.
Who it appeals to: Families, adventurers, and discerning travellers seeking a slightly less crowded alternative to the Western Mediterranean.
A cruise around the Balearic Islands is like passing through different worlds. In Ibiza, world-famous DJs’ nighttime soundtracks last until dawn. In contrast, Formentera’s tranquil white-sand beaches offer barefoot serenity, Mallorca brings dramatic mountains, hidden coves, and cosmopolitan flair, while Menorca remains unspoiled and peaceful.
Why go: A blend of party energy and tranquil escape – all within easy cruising distances.
Who it appeals to: Multi-generational groups – friends chasing exciting after-dark action, families drawn to beautiful beaches, and wellness seekers retreating from the bustle of daily life.
Sailing along the Amalfi Coast feels like entering a dream. Pastel-coloured towns tumble down cliffsides, bougainvillaea scents the air, and hidden grottos await by tender.
Capri, with its designer boutiques and the famous Blue Grotto, provides the epitome of Italian chic. While in Positano or Ravello, every corner makes you feel like you’re on a movie set.
Why go: Romance and natural drama – where culture and beauty meet.
Who it appeals to: Couples, honeymooners, and mature travellers seeking a mix of indulgence and cultural heritage.
One of the Mediterranean’s rising stars, Montenegro is gaining attention for its fjord-like landscapes and new luxury marinas such as Porto Montenegro. Medieval towns and secluded bays make it an excellent extension to a Croatian itinerary.
Why go: A destination still on the cusp of discovery, with world-class infrastructure emerging rapidly.
Who it appeals to: Trendsetters, yacht owners who love to pioneer, and younger travellers chasing exclusivity without the crowds.
Volcanic landscapes, legendary cuisine, and cinematic coastlines define Sicily and the nearby Aeolian Islands. Cruise to Stromboli to watch lava flow against a starry sky, or enjoy vineyard tours on Lipari. This is Mediterranean yachting at its most dramatic.
Why go: To combine authentic culture with awe-inspiring natural beauty.
Who it appeals to: Food and wine connoisseurs, adventurous travellers, and families wanting a mix of history and exploration.
The Côte d’Azur is where luxury yachting and yacht chartering truly became legendary. You can glide into Monaco’s sparkling marina beneath the Prince’s palace, anchor off Saint-Tropez’s golden Pampelonne Beach, or sip champagne at Cannes’ chic beach clubs.
From the Monaco Grand Prix to the Cannes Yachting Festival, the Riviera pulses with events that attract royalty, celebrities, and discerning travellers alike.
Why go: It’s the ultimate stage for glamour, fine dining, and world-class shopping.
Who it appeals to: Young professionals drawn to vibrant nightlife, seasoned jet-setters seeking sophistication, and anyone who wants to immerse themselves in Europe’s glamorous yachting scene.
East of the more familiar Western Med, Turkey’s coastline offers a refreshing blend of ancient ruins, vibrant markets, and quiet bays. Imagine dropping anchor by Lycian tombs carved into cliffs or swimming in crystal-clear coves near Bodrum.
Why go: A culturally immersive and less-crowded alternative to classic Mediterranean hotspots.
Who it appeals to: History buffs, curious travellers, and luxury yacht charterers wanting something unique beyond Riviera glamour.
Celebrity hotspots: Sardinia, the French Riviera, Balearics, and Mykonos remain firm favourites of the global elite.
Emerging routes: Montenegro and Turkey are attracting yacht owners seeking new, less crowded cruising grounds.
Best times to go: Peak season runs June to September, but May to June and September to October deliver warm seas and fewer crowds.
Cruising the Mediterranean by luxury yacht isn’t just a holiday, it’s a lifestyle. From the sparkle of Saint-Tropez to Capri’s romance, Mykonos’ nightlife to Dubrovnik’s heritage, every coast, like every Sanlorenzo, has a story to tell. Whether you crave glitzy glamour, quiet coves, or cultural depth, the Mediterranean offers a destination to match your desires.
