About this tender
The Blue Game BGX63 is a 20.0m chase boat from Blue Game, built in Ameglia, Italy: IPS power and 30 knots.
The BGX63 is the build we ask Bluegame for when an owner's programme demands a serious offshore cruiser rather than a weekend runabout. At 20.0m LOA with a 5.30m beam and a dry displacement of 35,000 kg, it sits in a bracket where the hull volume supports genuine long-distance passages without the owner or guests feeling they are camping. Twin Volvo Penta IPS units - either IPS1050 or IPS1200 depending on your performance brief - push the boat to 30 knots maximum and a sensible 27-knot cruise.
Layout is where the BGX63 makes its case most clearly. The master cabin sits at the waterline level, close to the sea rather than tucked away above the engine room, and the two or three cabin configurations with crew quarters give captains the flexibility to run the boat as a self-sufficient vessel without borrowing crew space from guest accommodation. The 3,000-litre fuel tank is a workable figure for extended coastal or inter-island programmes, and the grey and black water capacities of 330 litres each are sized for a proper overnight operation rather than a day-trip.
Design credit goes to Luca Santella and Zuccon International Project, a pairing that has consistent form across the Bluegame range. The lines carry a contemporary Italian sensibility without being gratuitous, and the structural brief clearly prioritised seakeeping and internal volume over silhouette alone. We'd put the BGX63 alongside comparable German and Dutch builds of similar length when assessing fit-and-finish and offshore capability; Bluegame's position within the Sanlorenzo group gives it access to resources that smaller independent yards cannot match at this price point.
For captains evaluating the BGX63 against alternatives in the 18-22 metre bracket: the IPS driveline is the right call for an owner who values low-speed manoeuvrability in marinas and fuel economy on the passage, and the 1.42m draft keeps a good range of berths accessible. We have no reservation about recommending a sea trial in moderate conditions to validate the manufacturer's seakeeping claims.
Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
The standard specification offers IPS1050 or IPS1200 units, giving buyers a choice between efficient cruising and higher-performance passages. IPS pod drives deliver low-speed precision and a meaningful fuel efficiency advantage over shaft-drive equivalents at the same displacement, which matters on a 35,000 kg hull crossing open water.
The master cabin is positioned at the heart of the lower deck, steps from the sea surface, rather than elevated above the engine bay. This is a deliberate naval architecture choice that reduces motion and gives the owner direct access to the swim platform area without passing through guest or crew spaces.
Achieving 30 knots maximum and 27 knots cruising at this displacement is a genuine performance statement for a boat configured for extended passages. The figures are manufacturer-quoted and should be validated on sea trial, but they place the BGX63 well ahead of pure displacement cruisers of comparable length.
The 3,000-litre fuel tank supports passage-making on longer coastal itineraries without the operational compromise of frequent fuel stops. Combined with the IPS driveline's efficiency characteristics, this gives captains a practical working range for Mediterranean or Caribbean programmes.
The hull and superstructure were drawn by Luca Santella in collaboration with Zuccon International Project, a studio with a substantial track record across motor yachts in this size bracket. The design prioritises internal volume and natural light through large glazed surfaces, without sacrificing structural rigidity or sea-keeping geometry.
