1922
Patrone’s history dates back to far off 1922, when Giuseppe Patrone started to hand-build rowing and sailing boats used for fishing in the small sea town of Ceriale, basing his craft on the shape and form of the traditional ‘gozzo ligure’.

- Pier Michele and Ornella Moreno acquire Patrone shipyard, enriching its historical craftsmanship with the innovation of material, technology and design; developing a wide range of models’ that achieve resounding interest also outside the Italian borders.
- Heir of the first cabin boat dating back to 1970 (the Nautilus), the Patrone 25’ marks the beginning of a new era: the one of recreational boating. Combining excellent sea keeping and spacious livability, typical characteristics of the Ligurian gozzo, with great autonomy and high speeds, as required in modern times; the small gozzo is one of the great successes of the shipyard that will manufacture this model over a 100 times.

- Driven by a strong entrepreneurial spirit, the shipyard Patrone officially acquires the prestigious Sciallino brand with the aim of preserving the rich and unique tradition of the ‘Ligurian gozzi’, maintaining the distinct production lines of the two shipyards. In this way, two brands found a solid union sharing the same vision: building boats capable of making the sea the most beautiful place on earth for its owner.

The story of a family business that found its identity in the creativity and ingenuity of Italian savoir-faire. Patrone 100, the new model designed by Tommaso Spadolini, is the evidence of the shipyard’s innovative spirit. A completely new boat capable of embodying the elegance, charm and nuances of the boats of the Sixties, projecting them into the future.
