The New 45’ Convertible Takes Centre Stage in Cannes and Genoa

From its world premiere in Cannes to its Italian premiere in Genoa: Patrone Moreno returns to the most prestigious events on the international yachting calendar with the new Patrone 45’ Convertible, joined in Genoa by the Patrone 100 and the Patrone 30’ Cabin.

In 2026, Patrone Moreno once again confirms its presence at two of the leading events on the international yachting calendar: the Cannes Yachting Festival, taking place from 8 to 13 September, and the 66th Genoa International Boat Show, from 1 to 6 October.

Two exceptional stages on which to showcase the evolution of the shipyard and a vision of yachting that continues to look to the future without forgetting its roots: Mediterranean elegance, Italian craftsmanship, innovation and an authentic connection with the sea.

The undisputed star of the season will be the new Patrone 45’ Convertible, the shipyard’s new flagship, which will make its world premiere in Cannes before heading to Genoa for its Italian premiere.

Against the prestigious backdrop of the Vieux Port, Patrone Moreno will unveil the new Patrone 45’ Convertible in a world premiere, marking the latest evolution of a range that began a new chapter in 2022 with the Patrone 100 and continued in 2024 with the Patrone 45’ Open.

With an overall length of 14 metres, the new model represents a further step in the contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional Ligurian gozzo, evolving the concept into a cruising yacht designed to offer greater comfort, more freedom and even more time to enjoy life at sea.

Designed by Tommaso Spadolini, the Patrone 45’ Convertible retains the character and proportions that make a Patrone instantly recognisable, while reinterpreting them through a brighter, more versatile and contemporary design language.

Particular attention has been devoted to liveability and the relationship between interior and exterior spaces. Expansive glazed surfaces and distinctive signature windows maintain a continuous visual connection with the sea, while the saloon has been conceived as an open and welcoming space, able to adapt naturally to different moments of the day.

One of the most significant innovations is the galley located below deck, a solution introduced for the first time on a Patrone model. This choice frees up the main deck entirely, creating more room for socialising and relaxation while preserving natural light and visual continuity with the upper living areas.

The exterior spaces follow the same philosophy of versatility. The cockpit can be configured with a central sofa that converts into a second sunpad, or with perimeter seating, offering different ways to experience life on board.

The pickled and bleached oak interiors, the carefully curated selection of materials, fabrics and finishes, and the extensive customisation possibilities combine to create an environment that is sophisticated yet unmistakably nautical.

The layout provides 4+2 berths, with four berths across the owner’s cabin and VIP cabin, plus two additional berths created by converting the dinette, further emphasising the new model’s vocation for longer and more comfortable Mediterranean cruising.

The same attention to detail extends to the technical equipment, including Volvo Penta IPS 600 with joystick, Garmin instrumentation, a Quick Gyro X13 gyroscopic stabiliser, Paguro generator, Frigomar air conditioning and a watermaker: solutions designed to make navigation and life on board simple, intuitive and comfortable.

The result is a yacht that evolves the traditional concept of the gozzo without losing its essence: more space, more light, greater autonomy and more freedom to experience the Mediterranean, while preserving the direct relationship with the sea that has always been at the heart of Patrone’s identity.

“With the Patrone 45’ Convertible, we wanted to take a further step in the evolution of our range. It is a yacht designed to be enjoyed to the fullest, offering greater comfort, protection and freedom without sacrificing the elegance, simplicity and authentic connection with the sea that have always distinguished a Patrone.”

— Gianarnaldo Moreno, Chief Operating Officer and fourth generation of the shipyard

Genoa | Three Models to Showcase the Patrone World

Following its international debut on the Croisette, the new Patrone 45’ Convertible will make its Italian premiere at the 66th Genoa International Boat Show, taking place from 1 to 6 October 2026.

This is a particularly significant event for Patrone Moreno, which will return to its home region of Liguria with one of the most comprehensive displays of the shipyard’s latest range.

Alongside the new 45’ Convertible, visitors will also be able to discover the Patrone 100 and the Patrone 30’ Cabin.

Three models differing in size and intended use, each offering its own interpretation of life at sea while sharing a distinctive identity: timeless lines, Mediterranean elegance, functionality and Italian craftsmanship.

The Patrone 100, the model that inaugurated the shipyard’s new stylistic direction in 2022, embodies the meeting point between the charm of the traditional Ligurian gozzo and a contemporary approach to space and navigation.

The Patrone 30’ Cabin, meanwhile, brings the Patrone philosophy to more compact dimensions, offering protection, comfort and versatility for owners who want to enjoy their yacht throughout an increasingly extended boating season.

Completing the line-up will, of course, be the Patrone 45’ Convertible, the new flagship and the fullest expression of the brand’s current evolution.

Bringing these three models together will provide an opportunity not only to showcase the individual yachts, but above all to tell the story of the path Patrone Moreno has chosen to follow: evolving a tradition spanning more than a century without losing its essence.

For the shipyard, Cannes and Genoa represent far more than two exhibition events. They are an opportunity to meet owners, enthusiasts and industry professionals, unveil the latest developments and share a yachting culture born in Liguria that continues to find its most natural expression in the Mediterranean.
