Not just a Refit.

A Rebirth.

Previously known as N.E.W.S.

​

Built in 1986, during an era when American aluminum yachts were commissioned rather than mass-produced, Fortezza represents a distinct period in late-20th-century U.S. yacht construction.

​

She was among the largest yachts delivered by Denison Marine at the Dania yard in Florida, with naval architecture by Joe Langlois and exterior styling by Nautici Design. 

 

A 121-foot one-off, built with no sistership.

​

Powered by twin 1,530-hp MTU engines, she was engineered for sustained long-range cruising at speeds up to 18 knots, characterized by endurance and lasting performance.

​

She is currently undergoing a refit to accommodate eight guests and six crew members, enhancing functionality for contemporary living while preserving her original character.

​

Fortezza. For those who appreciate American craftsmanship.
