The Turkish designer, Timur Bozca, designed an all-black superyacht with an arrow-like design. A 23,172 HP monster that could easily find its place in a James Bond movie, in the hands of the terrible villains

Black Swan is a black superyacht, with simple lines, curves and angles and a refined design. Its design inspired by the shape of an arrow associated with its aerodynamic exterior gives it a distinctive look and should improve its efficiency as explained by the designer. "I believe that simplicity is an important factor in creating an elegant and clean design." explains the designer. One of the design features are these large front balconies, protected by glass balustrades that offer a breathtaking view of the sea.

In the centre of the boat, outside, you can see a myriad of small triangular windows of different sizes. The light thus enters the superyacht and gives the feeling that the superstructure is breaking away from the hull, explains Timur Bozca.

At the top of the boat is a helicopter platform, which can be accessed from a hidden elevator. Once inside the yacht, guests can join the aft deck to enjoy the beach club with swimming pool. Terrestrial references were intended by the architect, such as an inclined glass wall that extends from the main deck to the rear of the upper deck. This glass bulkhead closes the main deck saloon and offers a breathtaking view of the beach club and the swimming pool located at the stern of the deck.

The black colour is omnipresent within the boat and it is the textures and finishes that differentiate the interior parts. 12 guests can stay on the boat, divided into six suites plus the owner's suite. The living rooms are furnished with white furniture while the cabins are decorated with dark colours such as brown.

In order for passengers to travel quickly enough, Black Swan is equipped with 4 engines that can generate a total power of up to 23,172 HP. While its cruising speed is around 20 knots, its top speed is 28 knots. To drive this huge engine, the fuel capacity is staggering at 183,000 litres. The water tank is equally impressive with a capacity of 38,600 litres. The superyacht will be designed from aluminium with a reinforced steel hull structure.
