Bluegame debuts BG72 flagship at Cannes Yachting Festival

7 September 2021 • Written by Tom McGhie

Bluegame's 21.7 metre flagship BG72 has made its grand debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival.

The flagship model was first announced at the Genoa Boat Show in 2020 and is described by Bluegame as "the missing link" between its open and flybridge offerings.

Its exterior was designed in-house by Luca Santella, while naval architecture comes from Lou Codega. The interiors and exterior living spaces are the work of long-time collaborator Zuccon International Project. The yacht spans three levels and features a multi-functional beach club area that serves as both a sunbathing spot and storage for tenders. A twin set of stairs lead up to a sun deck, also accessible via the flybridge.

"The new Bluegame BG72 is the perfect expression of its cross-over soul," the yard said. "With the BG72, Bluegame goes even further by combining the concepts of the BG and BGX ranges; the result is a successful fusion of open and flybridge."

The main saloon leads out to a beach platform

Guests enter the main saloon from the aft deck via angular sliding glass doors. “The open saloon that links with a beach area ensures that life flows within the interiors and exteriors,” the yard said. However, the interiors can be tailored to suit each owner: the saloon with direct access from the beach club can be replaced by the owner's cabin, an option only previously seen on the larger BGX models.

The owner of the first hull chose the version with the saloon overlooking the beach area with Canaletto walnut wood and blue tones running throughout the yacht.

The BG72 is the largest in the 'BG' series of motor yachts which also comprises the BG42 and BG62 models. It also takes the spot of Bluegame's former flagship, the BGX70.
