From the designers of the incredible Pangeos turtle-shaped floating city comes this amazing swan-shaped yacht, which features a smaller, detachable day boat as the head of the majestic floating bird.

Designed by Pierpaolo Lazzarini of Lazzarini Design Studio, the swan yacht was dubbed “Avanguardia,” or “Vanguard” in English.

The boat includes multiple deck levels from both the front and the rear, including a marine deck port from which smaller vessels (some of which are included) can come and go in the water.

The deck areas on this swan yacht also include openings into the central areas of the boat’s cabins, and the upper level even looks to include space for multiple helicopters.

It’s quite a bit smaller than the aforementioned floating city concept, but it still boasts up to 60 guests, placing it well into the megayacht category of huge marine vessels.

And if that wasn’t enough, the incredible yacht also includes a day boat, a top-level helicopter pad, a pair of jet capsules, supercars aboard the ship’s lower deck, and still more...

To lower the Swan’s head down to become a day boat, the yacht must be anchored. When the swan vessel is anchored, and it’s time to unleash the boat, however, users can simply lower the swan’s neck gently down onto the water, allowing the boat to detach completely.

The swan head can be lifted up to 65.6 feet (20 meters) from the fulcrum, located at the base of the neck, located on the boat.

When cruising, the day boat rests on top of the neck, acting as the swan yacht’s head and primary control center for the whole boat.

The yacht is meant to cruise with the control center lowered all the way into the middle of the megayacht as a major part of the steering control.

This megayacht shaped like a swan spans about 450 feet (137 meters) long, also measuring roughly 59 feet (18 meters) tall from the water’s surface when the control center is centrally docked.

The width of the boat totals to about 72 feet (22 meters), with the boat sinking roughly 19.7 feet (6 meters) below the water’s surface.

The yacht is propelled using a pair of electric engines on each side of the marine vessel, as well as an MTU Rolls-Royce engine.

At full speed, the swan megayacht is expected to go up to 20.7 mph (18 knots), and you can even attach the pair of included jet capsules at the rear of the boat to add some extra speed.

To be sure, the design is just a concept and it’s unclear whether any investors or clients have time to bring the Lazzarini design to fruition. Still, it’d be pretty incredible to be able to see it in action.

Other great megayacht options that are worth peeking at alongside the Vanguardia swan-shaped yacht include this zero-emission superyacht Trimaran, and the amazing triple-hull superyacht.

If the swan-shaped yacht ever comes to fruition, and you’ve got the money to invest in one for yourself, prepare for the ultimate luxury outing on the water.

You can have your favorite 60 guests wow’d with ease aboard this megayacht, so hopefully the designers will see this thing through to market.
