BlueGame presents its new World wide web showroom. Founded officially in 2002, but building its first model in 2001, which was the renowned one off seventeen meter Sport Yacht Luja, the company was born with the intuition of Luca Santella, Architect and Olympic Sailor. Santella took Luja, the founding model of the BlueGame range at the 2002 Monaco Show, which captured the attention of Carlo Bonomi part owner with Fabio Buzzi of renowned high performance diesel engine company Seatek. The two made up a meeting, and after some talking they joined venture and founded BlueGame.

New Model: Tuccoli T440 HT

The Tuccoli T440 HT is a further development of the T410 which the Tuscany boat builder launched over a decade ago in 2005.  When launched the T410 was a competitor to two successful Italian sport cruiser inspired to US sportfisherman looks; the Uniesse 42 and the Cayman  43 WA with the Tuccoli coming to the market as a more focused sport-fishing machine. The new Tuccoli T440 HT builds on the T410 attributes, very strong hull offering solid and dry sea-keeping and adding a further comfort element from the previous model.   This statement comes to fruit with the new interior layout now sleeping four in two cabins plus two additional L-shaped berths in an open cabin located to port side at midships.  In the cockpit the new Tuccoli T440 HT is also reinvented outside with a layout adding more creature comforts, with the addition of a mezzanine and a bench settee to aft which transforms to a medium size sun-pad.  The looks outside have also been tweaked with the addition of large view windows giving the T440 HT a more modern look.  The Tuccoli T440 HT is standard powered with twin FPT 480hp with line shaft propulsion which give a 32 knots top speed.  Other engine options are available including a slightly larger Cummins 480hp, Volvo 550hp or Cats 570hp.  The Tuccoli first hulls have been both in the HT model version, but Tuccoli has in design other versions including a Coupe and Open versions. The Open version can also be equipped with a Tuna tower which completes the full sport fishing vocation of the T440.

Powered by two MTU 1340hp engines, she has a range of 3,800 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 12 knots. Her round bilge steel hull with bulbous bow provides great comfort for the guests, exceptional sea keeping and unparalleled performance.
