About this tender
The BGX83 is the build we ask Bluegame for when your programme demands a full-sized flagship rather than a stretched mid-range hull. At 25.6 metres it sits at the top of the BGX range, and the specification reflects that position: triple Volvo Penta IPS1200 units producing 900 hp each, a 30-knot maximum and a 28-knot cruise, and 7,000 litres of standard fuel to keep a serious itinerary moving without a shore call every other day.
The design credit goes to Luca Santella and Zuccon International Project, a pairing that has shaped the BGX line from the outset. The 6.30-metre beam and 1.80-metre draft give the hull a proportioned platform for the volume inside: three or four guest cabins plus two crew, an upper-deck salon, a flybridge, and an openable side terrace that connects the main-deck living space to the water. These are not features bolted on to fill a brochure; they are the load-bearing elements of how the boat is actually used.
We would place the BGX83 alongside the larger Italian sport-cruiser builds rather than against conventional displacement motoryachts. The IPS pod drive installation keeps the engine room compact and the stern clear, and the 32,659-kg displacement is genuinely low for the footprint. Captains used to shaft-drive boats of similar length will notice the manoeuvrability difference immediately, which is relevant if your programme includes tight Mediterranean harbours or frequent anchorage changes.
Fresh water tankage of 1,500 litres supports extended owner programmes, and the separate grey and black water circuits at 600 litres each are sized to meet current environmental regulations without requiring frequent pump-outs. Price is on application; enquiries are handled through Sanlorenzo Yachts UK in London and Southampton.
Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
Three Volvo Penta IPS1200 D13 units at 900 hp each deliver 30 knots maximum and a 28-knot cruise. The pod-drive configuration frees the stern for usable deck space and significantly reduces turning radius compared with a conventional shaft arrangement of equivalent power.
At 25.6 metres with a 6.30-metre beam, the BGX83 carries three or four guest cabins plus two crew cabins. The upper-deck salon, flybridge, and openable side terrace give the layout a spatial hierarchy closer to a displacement motoryacht than a sport cruiser of the same length.
The standard tankage is generous for the class, supporting extended coastal passages without dependency on daily refuelling stops. Combined with a 28-knot cruise, it gives the programme real range flexibility across a Mediterranean or Atlantic island season.
The BGX83 is designed by Luca Santella in collaboration with Zuccon International Project, the studio behind several of the BGX series hulls. The brief centres on owner-centric use: side terraces, strong indoor-outdoor flow, and a helm position that keeps the captain integrated with guests rather than isolated forward.
A dedicated openable side terrace extends the main-deck living space directly to the water, a feature that shifts how guests interact with the anchorage. It is a structural design choice rather than an optional add-on, and it distinguishes the BGX83 from sport cruisers that prioritise cockpit volume over lateral access.
