The boat differs from the 45’ Open unveiled in 2024 primarily in terms of its design. The shipyard in Cisano sul Neva envisages it as a cruising yacht for extended stays in the Mediterranean. It was designed by Tommaso Spadolini. The first vessel features a paint finish in ‘Mosto’, a dark red reminiscent of grape juice. The deck is made of Eco-Teak, whilst Patrone can supply real wood on request.
Propulsion and Manoeuvring
Two Volvo Penta IPS 600 units power the convertible. It can be manoeuvred easily even in tight harbours using a joystick, and comes with a digital anchoring system and an autopilot. The console features two Garmin displays, and the driver’s seat is electrically height-adjustable. New to the Patrone is the Quick Gyro X13, which is designed to dampen roll whilst underway and at anchor.
Cockpit
In the cockpit, the owner has a choice. The first option features a central sofa that can be converted into a sleeping area. In the second, you sit along the side walls, which allows for greater freedom of movement and, according to the shipyard, is primarily intended for anglers. The Besenzoni electric gangway retracts completely into the stern when not in use.
Salon and galley
The centrepiece of the interior is a dinette with a wraparound bench seat. It serves as a dining area and can be converted into a sleeping area, providing up to six berths in total. The fittings are made of bleached and glazed oak.
On the ‘Patrone’, the galley is located below deck for the first time, leaving the aft deck completely unobstructed. Large side windows and an opening onto the saloon bring light and views into the kitchen. According to the shipyard, the induction hob, oven, Miele dishwasher and large fridge are all designed to household specifications.
Cabins
The first model features an owner’s cabin with a double bed and a VIP cabin with two single berths, which can be pushed together on request. A striking feature is the large hull windows, which Patrone first introduced on the 100-foot model. In both the cabins and the saloon, they provide natural light and views of the water.
Equipment for longer cruises
For stays of several days on board, there is a water desalinator, two air-conditioning units and a generator, which means the boat does not need to rely on shore power. The boat is certified to CE Category B for coastal voyages.
