Yachts drawn from the shipyard outward.
Sternwake is a Treviso design studio working with shipyards and private owners on exteriors, interiors and complete fleets. We start from how a yacht is built and lived, then draw the lines, rooms and details that make it feel inevitable.
A good yacht is more than a pleasing profile. It is proportion, the routes through the boat, the quality of daylight and the way a crew really works, and we test each of these before a single line is fixed.
A studio grown inside the yards.
Sternwake began beside the building sheds of the Veneto coast, learning the craft from the people who laminate, join and finish hulls. It has since grown into a multidisciplinary team of exterior stylists, interior architects and technical designers who share one drawing table.
Today the studio works with leading shipyards and private clients around the world, from first concept sketches to final outfitting reviews.
