The boat, called Luja 55′, first walk-around model of this dimension, was published by all the major boating magazines.
An enthusiastic Italian enterpreneur, Carlo C. Bonomi, formerly an off-shore World Champion and among the many business major stakehoder of Seatek, the italian high performance diesel engine manufacturer, read an article on Luja 55′ walk around, fell in love with the boat and decided to start a production with Santella. In this way Bluegame was born.
From the original design, with the help of. Louis T. Codega, better known as Lou, a well reputed naval engineer, designer of many a successful hulls among which the Ales Trophy record winner 222′ Destriero, Bluegame developed its first model 47′ walkaround, introduced in Portofino, in spring 2004.
