This sexy new model from Italy is the 39-foot Rivamare from Riva Yachts. Designed in collaboration with Officina Italiana Design and the Ferretti Group, the Rivamare has a distinctive double-curved window at the stateroom level. The windscreen is composed of five double-curved glass sections set within a stainless-steel frame, all of which bring light and views from the outside in.

Unusual for a yacht in her size range, the Rivamare has what Riva is calling a beach club (a term borrowed from the superyacht world). A hatch with built-in mahogany steps swings open to create the space, which can accommodate two sun pads while also stowing water toys. With the optional underwater lights, the space can take on new life during the evening hours as well.

The designers used sports cars as their inspiration for the pilothouse, whose control panel is outfitted in carbon-fiber and technical fabric.
