Measuring 39 feet long and 11.6 feet at its widest, the Riva Rivamare is powered by a pair of 400 hp Volvo Penta D6 400 engines capable of propelling the craft to a cruising speed of 31 knots and a top speed of 40 knots, according to Uncrate.

Belowdecks you’ll find a gallery kitchen, bathroom with glass shower, and living area that converts into a double bed for sleeping should you decide to make a night of it.
Which seems like a guarantee for whoever is piloting this jaw-dropping beauty.
