A Russian businessman has "played" a little with the design of the superyachts and given five models their own theme

Vasily Klyukin is a Russian businessman and designer who is interested in architecture, art and yacht design. His models were presented to visitors at the Monaco Boat Show.

"In the big money-governed world, there are no dolphins, the sharks are everywhere. And if you see a yacht over 50 metres, you can be sure it belongs to a business shark," jokes Klykin.

Mondrian stands out - large geometric surfaces in bright colours make the ship look like a Lego toy at first glance.

The nostalgic Mississippi yacht has a retro design. The paddlewheels are reminiscent of the era when Mark Twain wrote "Life on the Mississippi" and "Huckleberry Finn". However, the paddle wheel here is made of glass and metal.

The whitest swan is Klyukin's avant-garde model. A staircase in the swan's neck leads to a hidden platform - perhaps for a romantic breakfast in the morning.

New York, New York: you could be forgiven for thinking that the illuminated skyline of Manhattan is floating above the water. And a replica of the Empire State Building towers above it all.
