Bluegame BGX73 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the BGX73 has won 2 awards, most recently for "Custom Yachts"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the BGX73 delivers speeds of up to 29 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Bluegame BGX73 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Azimut Seadeck 7 and Pardo Yachts E72 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 8 guests in 4 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the BGX73 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe. Equivalently, the Bluegame BG74 and Wajer Wajer 77 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Bluegame BGX73 delivers a steady 25 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Itama 75 with an impressive cruising speed of 38 knots or the Numarine 78 HTS with a respectable cruising speed of 28 knots. The Bluegame BGX73 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Arcadia Sherpa 80, with the slowest cruising speed of 20 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Arcadia Sherpa 80 impresses with its extensive range of 1,550 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Arcadia Sherpa 80 and Itama 75 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Itama 75 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 42 knots and cruising speed of 38 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Bluegame BGX73 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
