Bluegame's BG54 could be confused for a luxury day boat, but the two-stateroom interior makes it a serious weekend cruiser.
The new BG54 is missing the X in the name—standing for Explorer—and therefore doesn’t have the same rule-breaking layout. But it does share the long open stern designed for carrying tenders, toys like jet skis and scuba gear, or simply leaving the rear deck open as a teak beach for instant access to the ocean. The two-stateroom design isn’t a day boat—though it sure feels like one since it can hold 14 people—but more of a weekend cruiser.
This 54-footer isn’t as exciting as its explorer-class siblings, but if you want a solid, bluewater machine with a protected hardtop and outdoor living in the cockpit, the BG54 is your boat.

Launched at the Cannes show as Bluegame generation 2.0, the BG54 won a best-in-show award. But our consensus is that this boat is more about the sum of its parts—the smart use of space—rather than cramming it full of gee-whiz features. It’ll appeal to more conventional boaters than the BGX series. The open transom is the main differentiator, especially compared to other boats its size. But the other features, like the cockpit lounge in the center that converts to a dinette, as well as the bar and cockpit galley, reveal nice proportions, so the word “functional” seems the best way to describe it. The hardtop is unusual because, while a sliding panel offers the cockpit both sun and protection, a side ladder and slide-over glass panel turns it into a mini-flybridge with two sunpads.
The BG54 at FLIBS was powered with the upgraded Volvo IPS 950 engines and pods, which delivers a top end of 35 knots and 30-knot cruise speed.
