Project: BlueGame BG64

Bluegame presents the BG64 project, completing the brand's celebrated BG range by applying its defining architectural philosophy in the nineteen meter segment for the very first time. Combining the seamless indoor-outdoor living of the BG74 with the proven engineering platform of the BGX63, BG64 introduces the full Bluegame experience to a broader community of owners, fulfilling the brand's ambition to offer for a Bluegame for every Bluegamer. With three yachts already allocated ahead of its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, BG64 begins its journey with strong market confidence, marking an important new chapter for Bluegame. Since launching the BG74, Bluegame has redefined the relationship between life onboard and life on the water through an architectural approach unlike anything else in the market. Now with the BG64 it is realising that same experience within a more compact yacht. The result is a yacht that remains unmistakably Bluegame while opening the brand to a broader community of owners. The challenge behind the BG64 was never simply to create a smaller yacht. It was to preserve the qualities that define every Bluegame without compromise. From the seamless continuity between interior and exterior spaces to the versatility of the upper deck and the exceptional functionality of the stern, every design decision was driven by the desire to deliver the complete Bluegame experience within a new size category. Among the defining features of the BG64 is its exceptionally versatile stern. Integrating a lateral opening terrace, generous swim platform and port-side crane into a highly organised layout, it offers a level of functionality rarely found in a yacht of this size. Together with the uninterrupted connection between the cockpit and interior living spaces, it creates an environment where movement between yacht and sea feels entirely natural. The iconic Bluegame upper deck remains the social heart of the yacht. Naturally shaded and ventilated, it can also be fully enclosed to suit different climates and cruising conditions, providing owners with exceptional flexibility while preserving the distinctive character that has become synonymous with the BG range. The helm station can be separated from the guest areas, allowing independent owners and crew to enjoy clearly defined spaces on board. Forward, a generous bow lounge transforms effortlessly between sunbathing area, dining space and private retreat. Designed to maintain privacy even in a marina environment, it significantly extends the yacht's liveable outdoor space. The BG64 also retains two fully equipped stern islands, another hallmark of Bluegame design while the proven BGX63 hull delivers responsive handling, efficiency and seakeeping for which the brand is renowned. Interiors by Zuccon International Project complete the experience, blending refined craftsmanship with an architectural language that dissolves the traditional boundaries between inside and out.
