Forte 47: the first aluminum yacht by Forte Yachts heading for launch after Cannes 2025
Following its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025, Forte Yachts is proceeding swiftly toward the launch of its first model, the Forte 47, scheduled for November 2025. This dynamic 14-meter yacht represents the new Italian brand’s entry into the high-performance yacht segment, combining innovation, design, and artisanal aluminum construction.
The hull, superstructure, and deck are already completed and faired at the Ameglia shipyard, while engines and systems are being installed. The interiors, initially developed with mock-ups, are now being assembled, confirming progress toward delivery.
The exclusive design by Umberto Tagliavini of Marine Design stands out for its vertical bow, minimalist lines, and wide full-beam hardtop. The iconic feature is the two opening side terraces amidships, which transform the deck into an elegant sea-level lounge, offering unprecedented indoor-outdoor livability for this category.
Built entirely in lightweight and robust aluminum, the Forte 47 allows for total interior customization, thanks to the construction flexibility without fixed molds. Below deck it offers two spacious cabins, two full bathrooms, and headroom exceeding two meters, ensuring comfort of a higher yacht category.
Two configurations are available: Gran Turismo, with three Mercury V12 600 hp outboards and speeds up to 45 knots; and Lounge Deck, with two Volvo Penta IPS D8-800 inboards and enclosed salon for extended cruising.
With the Forte 47, the shipyard demonstrates that performance, luxury, and space can coexist in a compact vessel, opening a new era for high-end Italian aluminum yachts.
