Patrone presents the 45 Open, its new flagship and largest build to date which debuted at the 2024 Cannes boat show the past September. The Patrone 45 Open takes over the mantle of flagship from the 42 which debuted in 2000 and follows the style the Italian Savona boat builder has given to the Ligurian Gozzo in the past decades adding to the latest evolution coming from the 100 model presented in 2022 which was also designed by Tommaso Spadolini. Patrone has since the advent of the 42 Open in year 2000 also flavoured the usually cabin featured Ligurian Gozzo with more day open cruiser style. For his second Patrone duty Spadolini follows the 45 Open with a similar style to the 100 but adds new elements as the open Targa integrated T-top, and unlike most of the competition in this segment presented a cabin cruiser spacious lower deck, but also a traditional cruiser which offers exterior stem to stern spaces for easy day usage. On the other hand for Patrone Moreno the 45 Open solidifies its boutique boat builder and customization credentials offering nine different layout choices; six for the lower deck for one to three double cabin choices, and three for the main deck. As an example the first Patrone 45 Open which was named Allegria meaning Happiness in English featured a three double cabins two head lower deck and a main deck with the CLounge layout with the forward looking C-shaped dinette. The Patrone 45 Open presents a balance of comfort both inside and out, with the part T-top covered exterior offering an aft island type C-shaped dinette looking forward which does not disturb the walk around deck to aft, although in the other two versions this can be specified with a sun-pad plus dinette layout called Ysofa, or two L-shape lounges looking aft called LLchaiselounge. Twin sets of double forward looking seats located in-front to the dinette continue the exterior deck layout, with the one to starboard featuring the helm station, while behind these seats is a wet-bar and exterior galley, joined by a free flush fore deck which also features an integrated sun-pad. Powered by twin Yanmar 440hp with line shaft propulsion the Patrone 45 Open reaches top speeds up to 31 knots and a cruise of 23.
