Description

๐ŸŒŠ VENUS Superyacht โ€“ One of the most radical yacht designs of 2013, created by Steve Jobs in collaboration with renowned designer Philippe Starck ๐Ÿ›ฅ๏ธ. The sleek, minimalist design blends timeless architecture, influenced by Dieter Rams and Frank Lloyd Wright, with cutting-edge technology ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’ป.

๐Ÿ Commissioned by Steve Jobs in 2008 after summers aboard Larry Ellisonโ€™s yacht, Venus was built by Feadship and designed by Starckโ€™s company Ubik. Jobs envisioned a futuristic sailing paradise with seamless tech integration, combining luxury with his passion for design and technology ๐Ÿšคโœจ.

๐Ÿ’ซ Tragically, Jobs passed away in 2011, and Venus was unveiled on October 28, 2012, at the Feadship shipyard in the Netherlands. Costing over โ‚ฌ100 million ๐Ÿ’ถ, the yacht’s name was inspired by the Roman goddess of love ๐Ÿ’–. Its aluminum exterior and floor-to-ceiling windows reflect Appleโ€™s sleek, minimalist aesthetic ๐Ÿ“ฑ.

๐Ÿ”ง The yacht features a cleverly concealed upper deck for communications and TV receivers, showcasing the harmonious blend of design and technology. Inside, Venus houses six luxurious bedrooms ๐Ÿ›Œ, with custom communication systems linking the kids’ rooms in the front with the adult quarters at the rear ๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ. Every system onboard, including lighting and climate control, can be managed via Apple devices like iPads and iPhones ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ“ฑ.

๐Ÿ’ป The wheelhouse of Venus is powered by seven 27″ iMacs, making it a tech loverโ€™s dream and allowing for full control of the vessel’s systems. A rear hatch opens to launch a speedboat ๐Ÿšค, providing easy shore access when thereโ€™s no dock available.

๐Ÿ“œ However, in December 2012, the yacht was briefly impounded in Amsterdam due to a payment dispute with Starck, who claimed Jobs’ estate still owed him โ‚ฌ3 million from his โ‚ฌ9 million design fee. The matter was settled on December 24, 2012, and the yacht was released after the payment was made ๐Ÿ’ผ.

โš™๏ธ The engineering of this innovative vessel was led by De Voogt Naval Architects, renowned for many of Feadshipโ€™s groundbreaking yachts. Apple’s chief designer, Jony Ive, contributed to the structural glass throughout the yacht, making it a true collaboration of visionary minds ๐ŸŒŸ.

๐Ÿ’ผ After Steve Jobsโ€™ passing, Venus was left to his widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, and it remains a family treasure, honoring Jobsโ€™ legacy of innovation and design simplicity ๐Ÿ’ซ.

๐Ÿ’ก The entire yacht is equipped with Apple technology, with all systems, including navigation, lighting, and heating, controlled by iPads and iPhones ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ“ฑ. The wheelhouse, powered by seven iMacs, serves as the nerve center of this tech-centric yacht ๐Ÿ’ป.

โšก Performance: Venus is powered by two MTU engines, reaching a top speed of 20.5 knots and a cruising speed of 18 knots. The yachtโ€™s sleek, lightweight design ensures smooth, fast voyages around the globe ๐ŸŒ.

๐Ÿ’ผ History & Ownership: Although Steve Jobs passed away before its completion, Venus was revealed in 2012 at Feadship‘s Dutch shipyard. It now belongs to Laurene Powell Jobs, who has maintained it as a cherished family possession, continuing Steve’s legacy ๐Ÿ’ผ.

โš–๏ธ Legal Dispute: A dispute over Starckโ€™s fee temporarily halted Venus‘ journey in December 2012, leading to its impounding in Amsterdam. After the payment of โ‚ฌ3 million, the yacht was released and continues to be one of the most iconic superyachts in the world ๐ŸŒ.

โš“ Refit & Maintenance: In August 2015, Venus underwent a refit in Monaco, ensuring it remains at the forefront of luxury and technology. The yacht received upgrades to its onboard systems and comforts to stay in line with the latest advancements ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ› ๏ธ.

๐ŸŒŸ Feadship & Philippe Starck: Feadship, one of the most prestigious yacht builders in the world, is behind some of the most luxurious vessels, including Anna, SYMPHONY, and Faith. Philippe Starck, a design icon, applied his innovative touch to Venus, further cementing his reputation with works like Motor Yacht A and Sailing Yacht A ๐ŸŒŸ.
