This bold new megayacht concept is sure to ruffle a few feathers. The 450-footer is shaped just like a swan and even comes with a detachable head that can be used as a separate boat.

The gigantic sized bird goes by the name of Avanguardia , which means “vanguard” in English. Fitting since the megayacht is clearly at the forefront of marine design. The concept was penned by plucky Italian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini of Lazzarini Design Studio . The Rome-based outfit has churned out a number of disruptive designs, from flying cars to a bullet-shaped hyperyacht , but this waterbird may make the biggest splash yet.

Avanguardia is replete with flowing lines and subtle curves that give her the elegant silhouette of a real-life swan. The gargantuan vessel is split into five separate decks and can fit up to 60 seafarers. Just like the animal, the “head” (a.k.a. the control tower) acts as a brain to maneuver the vessel. But it also doubles as a separate 50-foot cruiser that can carry out requisite day-time jaunts.

Lazzarini Design Studio

The control center is supported by a flexible “neck” that employs a fulcrum to give it a full range of movement. When swanning about, it drops to the middle of the megayacht to help steer it in the right direction. Conversely, when the vessel is at anchor, the neck lowers the head to the water where it detaches for independent cruising.

Toys come in the form of a helicopter on the top level, a pair of Lazzarini’s jet capsules that are located aft, and a haul of supercars which sit amidships, because why not? The jet capsules can also be added to the rear of the vessel for added propulsion.

Speaking of propulsion, the swan’s power would come in the form of twin electric side engines and a central MTU Rolls-Royce engine. Together, this setup could push the megayacht to a maximum cruising speed of about 18 knots.

While Avanguardia it just a concept at this stage, the design studio said that it could become a reality in the the future if a client is able to invest. Lido deck and the swan? We’d love to see that story hit the water.

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.

$500 Million Mega Yacht Takes Inspiration From a Swan

• Michael Lozina
• 12 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?

pierpaolo lazzarini designs a swan shaped mega yacht complete with detachable head

known for his unique watercraft concepts, pierpaolo lazzarini of lazzarini design studio unveils his latest imagining: ‘avanguardia’. meaning ‘vanguard’ in english, this mega yacht proposal takes its name from the positioning of the control tower, which also appears like the head of a swan. unconsciously inspired a 1970’s japanese manga, the ‘head’ functions as a control tower to maneuver the 137 meter long yacht. it can also detach from the ‘neck’, transforming into an auxiliary 16 meter boat.

Lazzarini Design Studio unveils zoomorphic swan-shaped mega-yacht ‘Avanguardia’

by STIRworld Published on : Sep 14, 2020

Italian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini of Lazzarini Design Studio has unveiled his latest cutting-edge design for a 137-metre mega yacht, 'Avanguardia'. An addition to the collection of Lazzarini’s avant-garde designs, the yacht’s sculptural form resembles the body of a swan. Avanguardia, which means ‘vanguard’ in English, features a sleek ‘neck’ with a control tower ‘head’ that protrudes from a ‘winged’, fluid torso.

On the top of an extendable bridge, the head of the swan serves as a control deck from where the mega-yacht is controlled, an unconscious influence from a 1970s Japanese manga. The position of the head (the control tower cockpit) can be adjusted during the sail to lower itself in the middle of the yacht, just as a swan can bury its neck in between its wings, extending the yacht's length to 157 metres when the neck is down. The cockpit can also be disconnected from the ‘neck’ and used as an auxiliary 16 meters boat.

The rear deck of Avanguardia includes a personal port for two jet capsules, also designed by a team of designers and automotive engineers. The mini-jet cruisers can optionally be connected to the main structure, becoming auxiliary propulsion for the mega yacht positioning. The electric jet capsules are charged by being attached to the main yacht body. The mega yacht also becomes a substitute auxiliary control tower, once the head is detached.

Up to 60 passengers can take a cruise on the mega-yacht and enjoy the five main decks it holds. The yacht is formulated with twin fully electric side engines, with a central MTU Rolls-Royce jet engine that will be able to drive it to a maximum estimated cruising speed of about 18 knots.

According to Lazzarini, “Avanguardia is just a stylistic exercise that could become reality with a client able to invest $500.000.000 for the construction”.

The innovative design of Avanguardia also includes helipads and a garage for storing vehicles, taking the concept of luxury yacht a notch higher.

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.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories .

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.

This Swan-Shaped Megayacht Has a Detachable Boat That Functions as a Day Boat

By Ryan on 01/04/2023 10:07 AM

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

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...

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. 

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.

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.

Sean Combs’ Son Sued for Alleged Sex Assault on Yacht

Sean “Diddy” Combs and his youngest son Christian “King” Combs, 26, have been named in a new lawsuit that accuses the younger Combs of sexually assaulting a woman who was working on a luxury yacht chartered by the Combs family for a 2022 winter trip in St. Martin.

The 31-page complaint, filed late Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, comes after a recent series of lawsuits alleging that Sean Combs , 54, sexually assaulted four women and one man on separate occasions between 1990 and 2023. Combs, whose homes were raided last week as part of a federal sex trafficking probe, has denied the allegations, calling them shakedowns.

She claims Christian forcefully grabbed her arm, prevented her from leaving the sundeck and forced her to take another shot. “Plaintiff was quite scared and realized she was in a very dangerous situation,” the paperwork states, adding that O’Marcaigh began to feel strange and “quickly suspected the tequila was spiked.” O’Marcaigh alleges Christian then proceeded to kiss her neck and face as he groped her legs, breasts, anus and vagina.

According to the lawsuit, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, a music producer who filed a separate sex trafficking lawsuit against Sean Combs in February, was present on the yacht as a collaborator with Diddy and recorded some of the exchange. The audio recording purportedly captures O’Marcaigh asking if she was being drugged and requesting that Christian stop touching her legs and “ass.”

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

According to the lawsuit, the incident was “deeply traumatizing” for O’Marcaigh, leading to the breakup of her relationship with her partner and a “deep depression.”

Christian is accused of assault, battery, sexual assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress in the lawsuit, while Sean Combs is accused of aiding and abetting the behavior and premises liability as the lease-holder on the yacht.

Drake Bell Explains Why He Pleaded Guilty to Felony Child Endangerment

Filmmaker john ridley, abc, and disney named as defendants in discrimination lawsuit, new video footage of sean combs raid shows sons’ detainment.

Combs’ accused drug “mule” Brendan Paul was present on the yacht, once allegedly telling O’Marcaigh that he had to “watch Combs have sex with multiple women,” in case Combs “needed him to get him something while he was in the middle of the act.” Paul was the only known person arrested during the raids, taken away from Miami-Opa Locka airport in handcuffs, charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana. 

Christian, whose mother Kim Porter died in 2018, made headlines last week when he was detained alongside older brother Justin Combs, 30, during the raid on their dad’s Los Angeles compound. Photos obtained by Rolling Stone showed him handcuffed outside his dad’s Holmby Hills mansion. He was later released. (A second raid was carried out simultaneously at Combs’ compound in Miami.)

Justin’s mother, Misa Hylton, shared new video from the surprise search in an Instagram post on Tuesday. One grainy clip appeared to show Christian being handcuffed up against an interior wall. Another clip showed Justin walking toward agents with his hands on his head and guns pointed at his chest.

“The over zealous and overtly militarized force used against my sons Justin and Christian is deplorable,” Misa Hylton wrote. “If these were the sons of a non-Black celebrity, they would not have been handled with the same aggression”

Federal officials have yet to disclose the exact basis for the search warrants, saying only that they were served as part of an “ongoing investigation” involving Homeland Security agents out of New York. A source tells  Rolling Stone  that  four Jane Does and one John Doe already sat for interviews with Southern District of New York investigators for a probe related to alleged sex trafficking.

One week later, as New York’s Adult Survivors Act was set to expire, two more women stepped forward on Thanksgiving Day with similarly disturbing claims against Combs. The second accuser alleged  Combs drugged and sexually assaulted her  when she was a Syracuse University student in 1991. The woman claimed Combs filmed the incident and showed the video to others in an act described as “revenge porn.” Through a rep, Combs denied the allegation. “This last-minute lawsuit is an example of how a well-intentioned law can be turned on its head. (This) 32-year-old story is made up and not credible. Mr. Combs never assaulted her, and she implicates companies that did not exist. This is purely a money grab and nothing more,” the spokesperson said.

In early December, a fourth accuser alleged Combs, former Bad Boy president Harve Pierre, and a third man  gang raped her at Combs’ New York recording studio in 2003  when she was 17 years old. In late February, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones  filed a lawsuit  accusing Combs of sexual assault, harassment, and not compensating him for work on the Grammy-nominated  The Love Album .
