The 'White Swan' is a graceful yacht concept from Russian businessman Vasily Klyukin that is one of six striking designs that will be presented at the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show 2014 this September.
When they all start to look the same, luxury yachts lose their edge, no matter how smoothly they're able to run. As suggested by both the name and shape of the yacht, the theme of this concept boat by Klyukin sources from one of the most elegant birds. With a mastery of both sea and air, much like a real bird, the White Swan is designed to be sleek and aerodynamic. The elongated neck of the bird is retractable and guests can climb it to reach a breakfast area.
