Lazzarini’s Swan-Shaped Mega Yacht Concept

The exciting new megayacht concept from  Lazzarini Design Studio  will turn some heads as the swan-like body sails across the water.

The 137m superyacht is shaped like a swan and boasts a detachable head that can be used as a separate boat. 

The enormous bird-shaped yacht is named AVANGAURDIA, which means ‘vanguard’ in English.

As the name suggests, the vessel leads the way in cutting-edge marine design.

Italian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini penned the ambitious design.  

The design company, based in Rome, has delivered on several innovative beings in the past few years, including flying cars, an amphibious catamaran named  PAGARUS , and much more.

However, the waterbird-inspired mega yacht may be the most outlandish and innovative of the company’s designs.

The massive yacht is split into five decks and can accommodate up to 60 sea goers.

There is potential for even more guests when the yacht is dockside.

As for sleeping arrangements, the yacht can sleep up to 24 guests, 12 staff, and ten crew members. 

There are many toys on board the ship.

There are two helicopters, which can be found on the top level, with two helicopter hangars.

Lazzarini’s innovative design, the jet capsules, is located aft. 

An entire haul of supercars is also found on the superyacht, thanks to an expansive garage.

The yacht boasts many areas for socializing and sunbathing for the 60 guests, including a swimming pool and a jacuzzi. 

The exterior of the yacht features flowing lines and curves that reflect the silhouette of a swan on the water.

The head of the swan is a control tower and acts like a brain for the vessel. 

The inspiration for the head comes from 1970s Japanese manga.

It also doubles as a 16m cruiser that is perfect for daytime trips around the water.

A second control point on board will operate the boat while the head is used for a daytime jaunt across the water. 

Like a real-life swan in the water, the head of the yacht that houses the control tower is perched on a flexible neck.

The neck uses a fulcrum to give it a full range of movement and lower the head into the water from its crow’s neck perch. 

The head floating in the air while the vessel is at anchor cuts an impressive image.

When the ship is underway, the head lowers to the middle of the megayacht to help steer the vessel in the right direction.

The lowered head is exactly like a swan nestling its head into its feathers.

Specifications

The jet capsules that are located at the vessel’s rear can be used for increased propulsion.

Lazzarini has developed several innovative water transportation, and the jet capsules are just one amongst many.  

The watercraft is fully customizable to the smallest detail and can serve as a private vessel for up to 20 passengers.

The egg-shaped mini-jet cruiser can be connected to the rear deck for extra auxiliary propulsion or disconnected and work independently to cruise people around the waters.

The swan’s power comes from the twin electric side engine and a central MTU Roll’s Royce engine.

This setup has the potential to push the yacht to a cruising speed of about 18 knots.

It remains just a concept at this stage, but the design studio says it could become a reality as soon as an investor is ready to commit to the concept.

The design company is confident that the yacht can be built and would require a $500 million investment from a potential buyer.

Lazzarini’s motto is ‘Think about the future but never forget the past,’ which can clearly be seen throughout his work.

Lazzarini’s unique and visionary concepts include automotive, aerospace, architecture, and yacht design.

His team of designers, engineers, and dreamers is creating some of the most innovative prototypes in the world.

With his Wally yachts, Lazzarini pioneered using carbon fiber as a building material, revolutionizing the yacht-building world.

He entered the yachting scene in the 1990s with his futuristic ideas, innovating in the relatively stagnated yachting industry.

The jet capsule is one of Lazzarini’s most highly awarded and praised designs.

The egg-shaped fiberglass yacht was the beginning of the designer’s most innovative concepts. 

When Lazzarini was asked why he chose the concept of a Swan for AVANGUARDIA, he answered that he finds nature to be a source of inspiration because of its innate perfection and that the swan is the very definition of elegance and grace. 

The swan-shaped yacht is the first of six animal-shaped watercraft concept yachts that Lazzarini has presented.

The  PRODIGIUM  is a monolith-inspired vessel that looks like a shark rising out of the water.

The yacht supersedes the AVANGUARDIA in size, measuring in at an enormous 153m.

The vessel will be the largest superyacht on the water if ever built.

The PAGARUS is another innovative design from the studio company.

The catamaran will have the ability to scuttle out of the water like a crab.

Lazzarini noticed a growing space in the industry for luxury off-the-grid vessels and designed a vessel to meet that need.

The PAGARUS, the Latin word for crab, was initially designed for military applications.

Lazzarini Design Presents 137 Metre Swan-Inspired Superyacht Concept

Lazzarini Design has presented its latest project; a 137 metre swan-inspired superyacht concept.

Avanguardia, named after its English meaning of ‘vanguard’, is inspired by 1970s Japanese manga and features an extendable control tower that resembles the head of a swan.

The control tower/ bridge, which is used to operate the yacht, is moved by an extendable crane. The head can even be detached from the yacht entirely and used as a separate 16 metre boat. While underway, the control tower cockpit can be lowered into the middle of the yacht, which resembles the swan’s body.

Spread across five decks, Avanguardia can transport a total of 60 passengers and provide accommodate for 24 guests, 10 crew and 12 staff. Elsewhere, the yacht features two jet capsules aft, five tenders, plus the separate head tender, and two helicopters stored in two hangars.

Propulsion comes from twin fully electric side engines and a central MTU Rolls-Royce Jet engine for a top speed of 18 knots. Lazzarini estimates the concept would take an investment of around $500,000,000 to build.

This $500 million concept megayacht was inspired by Japanese anime and designed to look like a swan — take a look at the Avanguardia

• Rome-based Lazzarini Design Studio unveiled the Avanguardia, a concept megayacht shaped like a swan.
• The design was inspired by 1970s and 1980s Japanese anime shows, according to its maker.
• The "neck" is movable, and the "head" — which otherwise serves as the command center — can be detached and turned into a tender.
• If a client wants to build the yacht, Lazzarini Design Studio estimates the total cost would be about $500 million.

Lazzarini Design Studio unveiled the Avanguardia , a concept megayacht shaped like a swan with a movable neck and removable head.

Avanguardia, which is Italian for vanguard or avant-garde, is a seemingly fitting name for this uniquely shaped yacht that prominently features a swan head-like control tower above the rest of the ship.

According to the Rome-based design studio, the yacht was inspired by several 1970s and 1980s Japanese anime series that depicted the head of robots as command centers. But in terms of the specific swan component, its designer drew inspiration from a single anime: "Casshan", a series that featured a robot swan character pretending to be a woman. 

Keep scrolling to see the yacht:

The neck of the swan head-control tower would be extendable and movable.

When the yacht is in motion, the neck and head could be lowered towards the middle of the ship and be used as the cockpit.

This maneuverability also would allow the neck to drop towards the water so the head of the swan could be detached and used as a separate 52.49-foot tender.

The Avanguardia adds about 65.62 feet to its length when the neck is lowered towards the water, increasing the total length of the ship to about 515.09 feet.

When the head is detached, the "top part" of the yacht would become the backup control tower.

The removable head isn't the only water toy on the megayacht: the rear of the deck could hold two electric Jet Capsules that are also designed by the company.

These Jet Capsules could be detached and used as separate watercraft...

... or attached to the structure of the yacht to serve as additional propulsion devices.

Besides the Jet Capsule propulsion, the concept ship is powered by dual electric side engines and a MTU Rolls-Royce Jet engine.

In total, these systems give the yacht a cruising speed of 18 knots.

The concept megayacht would have five separate decks that can accommodate up to 60 passengers.

Five other tenders — excluding the head — and two helicopters would be able to fit on the yacht ...

... which would have two hangars built-in.

In total, Avanguardia's beam sits at around 72.18 feet with a draft of about 21.33 feet.

If a client wanted to build the Avanguardia, Lazzarini Design Studio estimates that the total cost will come out to around $500 million.

Swan Shaped Yacht Unveiled for $500 Million

Swan-shaped luxury yacht concept with a detachable ‘head’ that acts as both the cockpit and a secondary boat is unveiled by an Italian designer for $500 million.

Italian designer Lazzarini has unveiled concept images for its latest superyacht – the aptly named 450 foot (137 metre) Avanguardia that resembles a swan. 

This first-of-its-kind superyacht features a sleek ‘neck’ and an elegant body in an attractive layered design, intended to resemble a swan’s wings and feathers. 

Any would-be owner of the Avanguardia – meaning ‘vanguard’ in English – can steer their vessel from the ‘head’ of the swan, which acts as its control tower. 

The extraordinary swan shaped yacht, which stretches more than the length of a football pitch, would set owners back £376 million ($500 million). 

But just like a swan can move its neck and head, the superyacht’s control tower can be moved down towards the water. 

The ‘head’ is even detachable and transforms into an auxiliary 50-foot boat.

Passengers invited for a ride on the boat can descend a set of steps on the neck.  

Avanguardia can accommodate up to 60 passengers on board, including 24 guests and crew, and comes with two helicopters, which can be stored in its two on-board hangars.

Lazzarini, designers of the concept yacht, says it also comes with two ‘jet capsules’ – mini vessels that can be used to cruise the sea on. 

A Lazzarini spokeswoman said the superyacht is inspired by ‘1970s Japanese manga’.

‘The head of the swan works as a control tower to manoeuvre the megayacht,’ she said. 

‘Due to an extendable crane located in the bow, in this case named the “neck”, the head can be dropped off and used as an auxiliary 16 metre [50-foot] boat.

‘During the sailing the head can adjust its position by lowering in the middle of the megayacht body. 

‘Like a swan, the neck goes in the middle of the wings.’

She added: ‘Avanguardia is a a stylistic exercise that could become reality with a client able to invest $500 million for the construction.’

The superyacht also has five main decks and a Rolls-Royce jet engine which means it can reach 18 knots.

$500 Million Mega Yacht Takes Inspiration From a Swan

• Michael Lozina
• 11 months ago

Yacht builder, Pierpalo Lazzarini, believes that a swan is “one of the most elegant animals” and sought to replicate that elegance on his new concept, the Avenguardia Swan Yacht. To achieve this, the design flows from front to back in a wavy streamlined fashion akin to a swan’s feathers with the star of the show being the swan neck-like control tower.

“The idea is to take inspiration from nature,” said Lazzarini, “We believe that nature already gives us the necessary design shapes to conceive new designs, so we based it on a swan—which is actually also our logo—because we believe it’s one of the most elegant animals in the way it moves, in the way it eats, and everything.”

Measuring at 137 metres, the yacht’s highlight is the swan neck control tower which can detach into the water, transforming into a 16 metre auxiliary boat. That neck didn’t appear easily, according to Lazzarini, going through six iterations before landing on the current one. 

“Before,” said Lazzarini, “we had a real crane for the neck, which was working properly but it was not so nice in terms of design. The difficulty was to make it look cool and not like a crane.” 

While the control tower is still attached to the yacht it can be raised or lowered to give you either greater visibility or for enhanced steering ability. Powering the craft, Lazzarini hopes that it can use two fully electric side engines capable of 18 knots in order to evoke the silent movements of a swan over water. Additionally, two jet capsules would act as auxiliary propulsion.

Big doesn’t quite get across the size of this yacht. With five decks there is space for 60 passengers including 24 guests, 12 staff, and 10 crew, plus two helicopters.

This is just a concept, but Lazzarini believes that it will become a reality if he could secure $500,000,000 in investment funds to begin construction. It isn’t chump change, but why would a swan-like yacht cost anything less?

Designer Timur Bozca ’s Black Swan superyacht concept is a formidable-looking, midnight-black yacht perfectly suited for a Bond villain or brash billionaire. Measuring 229 feet, the yacht is equipped with an arrow-shaped exterior, hidden balconies, and a free-flowing pool that funnels to the stern of the ship. Made from aluminum and enforced steel, the yacht can cruise at speeds of up to 28 knots.

A helicopter platform is located atop the yacht, accessed by a concealed lift that transports guests from inside the yacht. Beneath, the public areas are marked by stark white furniture, the cabins feature a soothing palette of earthy brown tones, and triangle-shaped windows allow light to filter into the vessel at different angles. A master suite and six guest suites allow the yacht to accommodate up to 12 guests, and two large private balconies with glass railings offer unbroken views of the ocean.

The sizable beach club includes lounge chairs and a pool with a waterfall-like structure that trickles to the edge of the boat’s stern. An angled glass wall extending from the main deck to the upper deck allows guests to enjoy views of the beach club area. ( timurbozca.com )

Lazzarini Avanguardia Swan Yacht

The swan-inspired lines of Lazzarini Design Studio's Avanguardia are certainly striking, but they also serve a purpose. The control tower "head" can be lowered by the "neck", transforming into a 16-meter tender. Overall the vessel measures 137 meters long, with room for 60 passengers spread across five decks. Twin fully electric side engines provide primary propulsion, while a central MTU Rolls-Royce engine can help push the massive ship to a speed of 18 knots. Admittedly a styling exercise, the Avanguardia could still become reality with the investment of a dedicated, deep-pocketed sponsor.

A fresh new look on deck features wood covered cockpit coamings ­— which have been extended further aft for crew comfort — that add a new perspective to the yacht. With its modern, uncluttered look the design speaks of neatness and efficiency.

Below deck the Swan 80 has the space and capacity to offer a wide variety of cabin configurations and open areas to meet all requirements.

The architect

Germ á n frers.

The new Swan 51 offers design and practical solutions that make the yacht comfortable and easy to sail from coastal waters to long offshore passages. The Swan 51 also features a mast which has been moved more to the centre of the yacht, further enhancing balance.

Ultimately, like all Swans, the 51 is a no-compromise sailing yacht, a pure sailor, more a sportscar than a limousine. It is designed to be reactive to steer and responsive to sail adjustments, bringing the sensations of sailing alive.

With options

The Swan 80’s near flush wooden deck serves to highlight the discreet and streamlined coachroof running aft from the mast.

As the whole aft cockpit section of the yacht is flat, it allows any configuration of seating, ondeck storage or other furnishings that might be desired. It is also possible, of course, to remove all deck furniture when in racing mode.

Similarly the open aft deck can be set up for swimming and sunbathing when in cruising configuration, with easy access to the beach area and swimming platform, which in turn are adjacent to the full beam lazarette which can easily accommodate a rigid inflatable boat.

The Swan 80 features twin rudders for directional stability, a tapered hull entrance and powerful aft section, with design allowing optimal balance between performance and stability at different angles of heel.

The hull’s construction of foam cored glass fibre reinforced epoxy with carbon fibre unidirectional reinforcements ensures solidity and durability.

Exterior Designer

Lucio micheletti.

A skilful combination of traditional styling and taut forms, an interplay of materials that creates a lively chiaroscuro with a marked dynamic quality (what the architect Micheletti calls ‘quayside speed’). The cockpit offers the typical three-area division that characterises all Swans. The front area, close to the deckhouse and protected by a sprayhood and a bimini top (a retractable model with rigid structure is optional), is dedicated to guests.

The interior designer

Versatility and flexibility are the order of the day when heading below decks on the Swan 80.

A variety of optional configurations are available for the location of cabins, sitting and dining areas. One possibility sees the spacious owners cabin located forward, with another four guest and VIP cabins all with en suite facilities.

The crew quarters are organised in an area aft, with independent access to the cockpit, engine room and other technical areas to avoid disturbing guests. Another possibility allows for the temporary conversion of a guest cabin for crew use, so increasing crew from 2 to 5.

The already spacious saloon area can be further increased by utilising the space of one guest cabin for an additional TV or dining area — another nod to the maxi philosophy.

INTERIOR MOODS

• TIMELESS WHITE
• TRADITIONAL NAVY
• SPIRIT OF FINLAND

Timeless Classic

The yacht is fitted with natural materials such as linen, cotton and leather in shades of white, naturally light colours, natural brown and putty tones for leather. These blend with light durmast wood, giving the yacht a sophisticated feel and bringing warm, sunny countries to mind.

TraditionalNavy

Linens and cottons in navy blue and shaded white blend with various shades of tobacco in fabric and leather. There is also the traditional wood used for sailing, namely natural teak, taking those on board back to the long-established seafaring concept of historical sailing clubs.

Natural fabrics such as linen and cotton are featured in different shades of wine, Cowes red and the fundamental shaded white. There is also “drunken” leather and Canaletto walnut, bringing to mind the Admiral’s Cup and Fastnet Race triumphs of sports sailing.

Spirit of Finland

A typical modern Swan interior featuring an under-stated Nordic approach with use of hand-crafted timbers and seaworthy detailing. Light European oak and walnut floorboards are paired with carefully selected performance fabrics in light natural colours and earthy leather accents for a soft touch. A timeless, light yacht interior from the land of the midnight sun.

The Black Swan Yacht Concept is Perfect for a Supervillain

Turkish design guru Timur Bozca has created a stunning new stealth superyacht concept.

Turkish design guru Timur Bozca has created a stunning new stealth superyacht concept. It sure looks like a vessel from a James Bond movie. At 200 feet+ Black Swan aims to attract those who have an eye for style, luxury, and technology and travelling on sea in supreme style.

With a needle shape, the Black Swan resembles a giant oceangoing arrow. It can accommodate 12 guests in a master suite and six guest suites.

The concept has state-of-art technology and amenities that include a helicopter platform on the top deck, an extended beach club with a pool. For power, Black Swan relies on four engines that total a staggering 23,000 hp. The fuel tank can hold 50,000 gallons of fuel.

Nautor Swan continues the expansion in its motor yacht division by presenting Swan OverShadow , the 13+ meter power yacht redefining the concept of enjoying life at sea. The elegance and style of Nautor Swan’s has been perfectly reinterpreted by Jarkko Jämsén, resident Swan Shadow designer, focusing on the main elements in the Finnish brand’s DNA: quality, innovation, performance and reliability.

The Swan OverShadow is based on the high-performing hull of the Swan Shadow, which is particularly efficient and seaworthy, and features an inboard engine and two alternative layout configurations upper and below deck.

The flush deck offers great livability with an external wet bar / galley, and an over 2-meter-long sunbed. A very generous dining area deploys around the sofas for a convivial vibe. The ample space on the deck has been made possible by positioning the sunbed more aft over the inboard engines. This also frees up the stern area, providing a more functional aft deck for the driver to maneuver, making the boat easier to handle.

The stern platform has the same functionality as in the Swan Shadow, with three positions: central position for driving, upper position serving as a passarelle, and below water level position for easier access to the water when swimming or doing watersports.

The brand-new Swan OverShadow features a high and wide windshield, offering more protection in the cockpit and ensuring more safety and comfort for the driver and co-pilot while cruising at higher speeds.

Two alternative layout options available

the generous sofa offers more seating and creates an easier social setting around the dinette

Long Wetbar

the longer wetbar unit transforms the boat into a weekender with a comfortable cooking and pantry solution

AFT PLATFORM

Multi-use functionality.

The full, closed bow of the design creates more space in front below deck, where OverShadow features two alternative layouts: a double or a twin bed configuration. The double offers more comfort when spending a weekend away, while the twin configuration offers more floor space, creating a seating area. Both layouts feature a larger and more spacious head than their predecessor.

Two alternative layout options available for front cabin:

the twin layout sleeps two while offering more floorspace and seating inside the front cabin

the double bed offers more comfort for weekendgetaways and more storage underneath the bed

Get Ready For The Iconic Swan Boats 2024 Opening Day

T he City of Boston along with the Boston Parks and Recreation Department have  revealed  that the iconic Swan Boats are opening for their 147th season on Saturday, April 13th at 10 am. This family-owned and operated tradition which dates back to  1877 , began when Robert Paget, an Irish immigrant and shipbuilder,  was  granted a license by the City of Boston to operate a boat for hire. "Rowing a small boat in the Public Garden lagoon was a favorite summer pastime for city residents during the day and evening," says the Swan Boats on their  website .

Today, the tradition continues under the management of Lyn and Phil, both fourth-generation members of the Paget family. "They are the only boats of their type in the world and are an important symbol of the wonderful City of Boston," the Swan Boats proudly  explains .

The Swan Boats' opening day is not just an event; it's a Boston tradition that brings together families and friends to celebrate the arrival of spring in the city. Be sure to mark your calendars for April 13th, and get ready for another memorable season!

‘Fancy cars and flashy yachts’: criminals living the high life targeted by Victoria’s unexplained wealth laws

Police minister says those who ‘swan around with ill-gotten gains’ will be pursued in reforms that flip onus of proof

Organised crime figures who splash out on yachts, penthouse suites and sex workers will be targeted by the Victorian government, under new laws that will force them to repay any wealth they cannot prove was lawfully acquired.

The state’s attorney general, Jaclyn Symes, and police minister, Anthony Carbines, on Tuesday announced they will introduce the Confiscation Amendment (Unexplained Wealth) Bill to parliament, in an effort to deprive criminals of the “use and enjoyment of their unexplained wealth”.

Symes said the new laws would flip the onus from police and prosecutors – who currently have to prove a direct link between a criminal and their wealth – to the offender.

“The barrier has been is that we’ve had to demonstrate that [wealth] is connected to criminal activity. The onus now will be flipped under this legislation, you will have to demonstrate that you obtained it by legal means,” she said.

“It’s very likely unless they won Tattslotto and they can show their winning ticket. They probably were doing illegal activities to obtain their wealth.”

Carbines said the changes will also capture assets bought in a partner or relative’s name as well as gifts, “consumable wealth and wealth that has been gifted, disposed of or expended”.

“If you want to swan around with ill-gotten gains and wealth that doesn’t belong to you, that you’ve accrued illegally, police will be able to pursue you. They’ll be able to pursue your family and your partners,” he said.

“If organised crime bosses think that they can have the fancy cars, flashy yachts, spend their money on hotels and strippers, if you draw your attention to yourself, Victoria police will be after you.

“They will be able to use these laws to crack out and reclaim the stolen wealth that ill gotten gains, and it’s about continuing to make sure we put the pressure on organised crime.”

The new laws will allow the Director of Public Prosecutions to apply to a court for an order if there are reasonable grounds to suspect that a person’s total wealth exceeds their lawfully acquired wealth by at least $200,000.

If a person can’t satisfy a court that they have lawfully obtained their wealth, a court may order them to pay the state the value of anything they cannot prove was lawfully acquired.

The laws have been modelled on those currently in place in Western Australian, but are also similar to New South Wales’ laws, which were also bolstered in 2023 to allow police to seize and freeze wealth and assets without a specific offence.

The opposition leader, John Pesutto, questioned why it had taken so long for the government to introduce the legislation, though he said he supported the concept in principal.

“Frankly, after 10 years, you have to ask, what is it actually doing to crack down on organised crime?” he said.
