Stars from 12 to 16 m for a cruise at sea to discover in 2019

Sporty, ultra-habitable, comfortable... Here is a selection of models of boats from 12 to 16 m for long weekend or a cruise at sea or any comfort.

Bluegame BG 42 - 12,98 m

The Bluegame brand was born from the association of a naval architect and Olympic sailing champion - Lucas Santella - and the Italian entrepreneur Carlo C. Bonomi, former world champion of offshore sailing.

The Bluegame 42 is the entry-level Sport Utility Yachts model. The central part of the platform lowers to free up a 9-foot tender and also transforms into a swimming platform. The center console is protected by a glass hard-top on the front and receives a bench seat for 2 people. The cockpit has a U-shaped saloon with a kitchen opposite and a large sunbathing area at the rear.

With a walk-around deck configuration, it will be easy to move around the boat and enjoy the sun deck. Below deck, the forepeak is occupied by a saloon, while a large cabin and bathroom complete the accommodation package. The Bluegame 42 is equipped with 2 x IPS VOLVO 600 and should reach a cruising speed of 30 knots (max speed 35 knots).

The shipyard has adapted this concept to a larger unit, the BlueGame 62 (18.80 m).
