ABOUT US

There are boats that talk about the sea. And others that truly understand it.
FORTE was created for those who seek freedom, silence, and beauty. For those who want to sail without compromise, with both style and substance.

A shipyard, an idea, a new way to experience the sea

We have been building the sea. For years.
FORTE is a brand by West Navaltech, a company specialized in the construction of workboats and aluminum structures for some of the world’s leading megayacht builders.

FORTE is a choice: every one of our lines reflects the will to take a risk and shape an idea of our own.
FORTE is an adventure.
This is how FORTE was born.
Yachts that blend technology and beauty, lightness and substance.
Designed for those who truly want to live the sea.

Our values

  • Italian craftsmanship: we design and build everything in Italy. With care.
  • Precision: every detail has a purpose. Every choice has a reason.
  • Freedom: our boats are made to live in. Not just to show off.
  • Innovation with style: cutting-edge materials, smart solutions. Never excess.
  • Timeless style: design that doesn’t follow trends — it transcends them.

WE DESIGN AND BUILD IN OUR SHIPYARD IN LA SPEZIA

Each yacht is crafted within our production spaces, with the same care that has always set us apart.
Choosing us means choosing solidity, reliability, and manufacturing excellence.

OUR STORY

FORTE is a new name with deep roots.
It was born from West Navaltech, a historic company specialized in aluminum shipbuilding.
From technique, we moved to vision.
From serving the great shipyards, to creating our own line of yachts.
A line that carries what we’ve learned: the importance of detail, the beauty of essentials, the strength of things done right.
