Taking MacMillan of Rathdown's advice into consideration, this is what I now have:

I tried it with the galley Or, but it just didn't feel as balanced as it does with it Argent; I did, however, change the flag colour from Gules to Or.
The shield looks just fine with three fluer-de-lys Gules, but I felt like something was missing. The lion is a symbol that connects the Swan arms with many MacDonald arms, and having a great deal of MacDonald heritage, I couldn't just leave it out. A lion rampant would, like the galley in the previous version, have been too "busy" for such a small space, so I decided to replace the small galley on the chevron with a lion's head erased Gules langued Azure.
The blazon, to the best of my ability, is:
Azure, between two swans with wings expanded Proper in chief and a lymphad Argent flagged Or with sails furled and oars in action in base, on a chevron embattled counter-embattled Argent a lion’s head erased Gules langued Azure between two fluers de lys Gules; all within a bordure Or; over all a label of three points Gules.
What does everyone think now?
