Can anyone help me with this term found in a quotation for fitting out a luxury yacht. The full phrase (and only context) is: "**prendisole vasca** compreso schienale reclinabile", then later there's also "**divano vasca** compreso schienale". Thanks for any suggestions, Sarah.

cockpit sun lounger
i.e. not on the prow or the stern of the boat but in the sunken part amidships. It's mentioned here:

Italian term (edited):
prendisole vasca ** divano vasca
sunning pool ** couch pool
I guess, the "prendisole vasca" should be a kind of small pool which allows you to take sun as well, so it is probably a small pool outside, a kind of jacuzzi with no bubbles! or if it very luxurious stuff, could be in room and have some sunlamps.
Regarding the "divano vasca" I assume is the same kind of equipment, a small pool with sofa shape, or simply a special sofa in the water.
I hope it could help Sarah.
Bye.
