Forte Yachts is progressing steadily toward the final phase of the first Forte 47, the model that marks the shipyard's debut in the luxury yacht segment and brings to the 47-foot range a design and construction approach typical of "mini superyachts".

After completing major exterior milestones, including superyacht grade hull painting, installation of the glasswork, and teak decking, attention has now shifted to the final stages of the interior outfitting. Designed by Paolo Giordano and executed by Genesis Interiors with a level of care usually reserved for larger vessels, the interiors benefit from full-scale mock-ups, a selection of premium materials, and a team of specialized craftsmen from the superyacht world. The result is refined, meticulously detailed spaces, featuring two fully functional cabins and generous social living areas.

With these final touches under way, and with every interior and exterior detail nearing completion, the Forte 47 is now approaching its imminent debut.

"Seeing the Forte 47 take shape is truly exciting," says Fernando Moricca, co-founder of Forte Yachts. "Every detail, from the exterior lines to the interior finishes, reflects our philosophy: unique design, tailor-made quality, and absolute attention to detail. Only a few final steps remain before we can launch it and finally show it to the world."
