Patrone Moreno will unveil the all-new Patrone 45' Convertible at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, where the model will make its world premiere from 8 to 13 September. Set to become the shipyard's flagship, the new model marks the latest evolution of Patrone's contemporary interpretation of the traditional Ligurian gozzo.

Patrone 45' Convertible builds on a design direction first introduced with the Patrone 100 in 2022 and further developed through the Patrone 45' Open in 2024. Together, these models have progressively expanded the concept of the traditional Ligurian gozzo for today's owner, combining its distinctive heritage with contemporary styling and functionality. The new Patrone 45’ Convertible takes that evolution a step further, placing even greater emphasis on cruising, longer stays on board, onboard comfort and flexible living spaces.

With an overall length of 14 metres, the yacht retains the distinctive Mediterranean character of Patrone's gozzi, expressed through clean lines, light-filled interiors and carefully considered design solutions tailored for comfortable cruising. The result is a yacht that combines elegance, seaworthiness and an exceptional onboard experience.

The cockpit is available in two configurations: one with a central sofa that converts into an additional sunpad, and another featuring wraparound seating designed to maximise conviviality and make the space even more versatile.

Propulsion is provided by Volvo Penta IPS 600 engines with joystick control, delivering smooth handling and making docking and low-speed manoeuvring both simple and intuitive.

Designed by Tommaso Spadolini, the interiors combine limed and bleached oak with abundant natural light to create a bright, refined and timeless atmosphere. Owners can personalise fabrics, finishes and colour palettes to reflect their individual preferences, while the renderings showcase just some of the many possible interior design solutions.

The saloon forms the social heart of the yacht. Conceived as an open, adaptable living space, it features a generous dinette and wraparound seating that encourage conversation, relaxation and flexible use throughout the day.

Accommodation is arranged for up to 4+2 guests, with an owner's cabin, a VIP cabin and two additional berths created by converting the dinette. Large hullside windows and Patrone's signature hull windows flood the interiors with natural light while maintaining a constant visual connection with the sea.

One of the defining innovations of the new layout is the relocation of the galley below deck, the first time Patrone has adopted this solution. By moving the galley off the main deck, the entire saloon and dinette are dedicated to dining, entertaining and everyday life on board, creating an exceptionally open and sociable living space for a yacht of this size.

Despite its below-deck location, the galley remains bright and connected to the main living area. Signature hull windows, combined with the open overhead design, preserve sea views, maximise natural light and maintain a seamless visual connection with the saloon. The result is a fully equipped galley that feels anything but enclosed, while enhancing the sense of space throughout the yacht.

The yacht's generous dimensions have also made it possible to create a fully equipped domestic-style galley featuring an induction hob, large-capacity refrigerator, oven and dishwasher, providing all the comforts needed for extended cruising.

Following its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the Patrone 45' Convertible will also make its Italian debut at the 66th Genoa International Boat Show, taking place from 1 to 6 October 2026.
