It looks
like a toy that would belong to a big-screen villain, but beyond its
sinister appearance this striking superyacht would be a floating palace
for any billionaire.Called Black Swan, the concept yacht comes with a
stunning pool and sun deck, hidden balconies where guests can enjoy
amazing sea views, and a profile that is sure to turn heads.
Featuring a pointed tip, the vessel’s dramatic design was inspired by
the shape of an arrow, with triangular windows of various sizes allowing
light to fill the interior.

Made from aluminium and enforced steel, Black Swan is the brainchild of
designer Timur Bozca, who splits his time between Istanbul, Milan and
London.
With a captivating design, Bozca aimed to redefine experience, style and
luxury, and give the owner a supreme experience in travelling thanks to
state-of-the-art technology and high-end amenities.

Renderings show an extended beach club on the aft deck, where passengers
can go for a dip in a pool that fades away towards the stern, work on
their tan in a sunlounger, or jump into the sea from a platform.
An angled glass wall extends from the main deck to the upper deck,
offering views over the beach club.
Two forward balconies are protected by glass railings, offering
unobstructed views of the sea or sights in places such as the French
Riviera or Caribbean.

A helicopter platform on the top deck is accessed via a concealed lift,
allowing the owner and his or her guests to travel between the yacht and
the airport or their villa without getting stuck in traffic.
Inside, a master suite and six guest cabins can accommodate 12 people.
With four engines that can generate 23,172hp, Black Swan can hit a top
speed of 32mph, although its cruising speed is 23mph.

Bozca said: ‘It was important for the exterior to use simple lines
together with dramatic angles and curves, as I believe that simplicity
is an important factor in making a design elegant and clean.
‘Using the powerful image of an arrow as my inspiration, I tried to
create an aerodynamic exterior that would give the yacht a distinctive
look, while also improving efficiency.’

An estimate was not revealed, but should a billionaire be bold enough to
build the yacht it would cost tens of millions of pounds.
