BLUEGAME: FOR TRUE SEA LOVERS

“The determination of a new type, of a new kind of product, is a process that not only flows from the creativity and soul of the designer but is also the result of an evolution of the environment in which the phenomenon takes place. 

To be able to give life to a new concept, it is essential to perceive the evolution of taste and costumes and give it a body and a form. #bluegame is achieving this result.

What are #bluegame yachts? Open boats? Fishermans? Fast commuters? Chase boats? Day cruisers? Walk around? #bluegame yachts are a cultural, functional and morphological synthesis of different types of boats that merge into a form never seen before, the Sport Utility Boats”.

LUCA SANTELLA (Founder of Bluegame)

Born from the deep experience in the sector of its founder Luca Santella, the Italian shipyard #bluegame specializes in the construction of a new kind of multifunctional boats called “Sport Utility”.

Luca Santella, architect and Olympic sailing champion, designed an original never-seen-before motoryacht for the owner of the 50’ sailing boat he was skippering. It was a one-of-a-kind very original project, totally far from any traditional known shape, out of the ordinary, full of ideas, stylistic and functional innovations, new forms and original suggestions for life on board.

The boat in a single example, called Luja 55’, had appeared at the Monaco #yacht Show and was published by all the major boating magazines and had aroused some curiosity to the most attentive observers of nautical facts. One of the most attentive was Carlo C. Bonomi, who had seen the boat in a magazine. 

Entrepreneur, offshore champion, financier, with vast economic interests in Spain and Italy, majority shareholder of Seatek the Italian company that produces the only high performance diesel engines designed specifically for yachting, he contactedSantella to deepen the outlines of that boat and decidedto start with him a production. In this way #bluegame was born.

From the original design, with the help of Louis T. Codega, better known as Lou, a well reputed naval engineer, designer of many successful hulls among which the typical deep V Carolina style fishermans, the Cabo 45 and the Blue Ribbon Trophy record winner 222’ Destriero built by Fincantieri and patronaged by Gianni Agnelli and Prince Karim Aga Khan, #bluegame developed its first model, a 47’. 

The first of a kind of new generation of yachts born for the Bluegamers.

In 2018 a new chapter of #bluegame story started with the entry of Sanlorenzo in the shareholding of the company.

MAIN FEATURES AND PERFORMANCE

Volumes, spaces, ergonomic, practical life onboard are well conceived by Santella, an architect who is at the same time an expert sailor with a wide experience of seamanship. Seaworthiness is guaranteed by a naval architect with the widest experience in any kind of hull. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is helping the naval engineers to optimise the specific hull design of each model, in term of weight balance, of distribution of weights and volumes, in order to obtain always the best performance.

The quality of the #bluegame hull design, which inherits its characteristics from the typical cold moulded Carolina style Lou Codega design fisherman, obtains that the #bluegame range is able to face the most severe sea conditions with maximum comfort and in total safety. The sturdy construction, the well balanced centre of gravity, thanks to the light construction of the superstructure made in carbon fibre, the well protected steering position, make the #bluegame all-round boats.


The designers’culture and the passion of the sea give life to a range of boats with a fast planning hull with variable deadrise that powered with the Volvo Penta IPS power train can easily cruise over 30 knots and provide extremely easy maneuverability. #bluegame boats have a continuous perimeter fender in internal foam elastomer that allows to approach without fear and without damage to pontoons, piers, or other boats, even more facilitated by the very easy to manoeuvre IPS system joystick that allows to move the boat in any direction. 


Bluegame boats have large and well protected sidewalks and a high enough bulwark to let the children run around in complete safety.

HI-TECH APPROACH

  • The #bluegame yachts are built according to the latest and advanced building techniques in composite materials. Models and moulds are machined and worked with CNC machineries to assure the maximal accuracy of the measures. The GRP stratification is made partly with the infusion method and with the vacuum bag system, using vinylester resins. The superstructures are in carbon fibre to lower the centre of gravity of the boat for a better performance at sea and a quieter stability at anchor. 
  • Volvo Penta IPS power train and transmission offer the double advantage of more space inside and the highest grade of maneuverability at the time, allowing to move the boat also on the side, and with the Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) maintaining the position and a heading of the boat working as in the 'zero speed' function. 

OUR STYLE: HANDICRAFT, AUTOMATION AND SUSTAINABILITY

  • The interiors are crafted by the expert craftsmen of the Iseo Lake area, where a tradition of high quality boat building was settled long time ago.
  • Thanks to this craftsmanship the #bluegame yachts can be personalized according to the personal taste of the owner, in respect of the general layouts proposed by the yard. On the #bluegame yachts owner and guests can find a large use of the most updated house automation, to offer the best assisted living on board.
  • The #bluegame production is made under the most attentive sustainability principles, using FSC certified woods supplying, the total LED lighting, zero impact sustainable leather, formaldehyde free furniture, for the higher respect of the environment either during construction and use of the boats. The respect for the environment is extended to participating to international foundations engaged to protect the waters of the planet.
