Project: Patrone 45 Convertible

The Patrone 45′ Convertible marks a new chapter in the evolution of the Ligurian gozzo, introducing a cruising yacht conceived for those who believe the greatest luxury is spending more time at sea. Making its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 in September, the new Patrone flagship combines the timeless elegance and Mediterranean heritage of the Ligurian gozzo with an innovative approach to onboard living. Designed by Tommaso Spadolini, the P45′ Convertible has been created for owners who enjoy longer cruises without compromising on comfort, versatility or style. Following the design path initiated by the Patrone 100 and continued with the 45 Open, the 45 Convertible further expands the Patrone philosophy. While remaining faithful to the unmistakable character of the traditional Ligurian gozzo, it introduces a completely new interpretation of onboard living, where flexible spaces and residential comfort become the defining features of the experience. At fourteen metres overall, the Patrone 45 Convertible is designed around one simple idea: creating more space for life on board. The cockpit is available in two distinct configurations. Owners can choose between a central seating area that converts into an additional sun-pad or a wraparound seating arrangement designed to encourage conversation and socialising. At the centre of the yacht lies a generous saloon featuring an original 360-degree seating concept and a convertible dinette, creating an open and versatile living area that naturally adapts throughout the day. The result is a yacht conceived not only for cruising, but for enjoying every moment spent on board. The defining innovation of the Patrone 45′ Convertible is not immediately visible but it changes the entire onboard experience. For the first time in the shipyard’s history, the galley has been relocated below deck, freeing the entire main deck and transforming the saloon into a spacious environment dedicated exclusively to relaxation, dining and entertaining. Despite its position below deck, the galley remains remarkably bright thanks to generous hull side glazing, Patrone’s signature hull windows and the open connection to the deck above. Natural light flows throughout the space, maintaining a constant visual relationship with the sea while creating an exceptional sense of openness rarely found on a yacht of this size. Designed with the functionality of a home kitchen, it features an induction hob, oven, large-capacity refrigerator, dishwasher and watermaker, everything required to make extended cruising effortless and enjoyable. The interiors reflect the same philosophy. Limed and bleached oak, abundant natural light and carefully balanced proportions create an atmosphere of understated elegance, while fabrics, finishes and colour palettes can be fully customised to suit each owner’s personal taste. Accommodation is arranged for up to six guests, with a full-beam owner’s cabin, a twin guest cabin and two additional berths obtained from the convertible dinette. Two independent bathrooms provide privacy and comfort during longer stays on board, reinforcing the yacht’s vocation as a true Mediterranean cruiser. The Patrone 45 Convertible is powered by twin Volvo 440hp with IPS pod drives combining effortless handling with the seaworthiness that has always distinguished the shipyard’s boats, making every cruise as enjoyable as every destination.
