Myriad of versions

Each one different and all navigation options possible. This is the philosophy of the Bluegame brand, already showcased by the Bluegame 47 and now by this larger model. The Bluegame 60 prototype was unveiled at September’s Monaco Yacht Show and was sea-trialled by the world’s industry media.

Bluegames epitomise the concept of a yacht tailor-made to suit the owner’s requirements. This often-heard claim is well-founded in this case, as not only can the accessories and trims be designed for each unit, but also the layout can vary a great deal without shunning the philosophy behind the yacht. The Bluegame 60 builds on the concepts already showcased on the firm’s 47-footer, with a build programme that offers different layouts and navigation options depending on the deck configuration or interiors chosen by each owner. Versions range from the almost conventional – if you can call a 60-foot yacht conventional – Open to the Fisherman, with or without hard-top, with or without tuna-tower, with different cockpit layouts, customised accessories and a selection of hull colour schemes. Add these exterior options to the myriad of possible interiors and the number of potential variations rises to almost 2,500, making each yacht totally unique yet instantly recognisable as a Bluegame. Solid construction is always a mainstay of a yacht which has been built to last and be sailed intensively, proved by the allocation of design category A. The vacuum-infused hull is made from top-quality materials such as carbon fibre or stainless steel.The yacht’s sailing capability can be compared to the might of SUVs on dry land or even the philosophy shared by Harley Davison riders, forever proud of owning a one-of-a-kind but clearly unmistakeable vehicle.
Safety, comfort and personalisation are the strong points of a product designed by the Italian naval architect Luca Santella, sailor at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, helped by businessman and offshore champion Carlo Bonomi and the naval engineer Louis T. Codega, who worked on the design of Destriero, the Italian motor yacht that broke the transatlantic crossing record in 1992.
