๐ VENUS Superyacht โ One of the most radical yacht designs of 2013, created by Steve Jobs in collaboration with renowned designer Philippe Starck ๐ฅ๏ธ. The sleek, minimalist design blends timeless architecture, influenced by Dieter Rams and Frank Lloyd Wright, with cutting-edge technology ๐๐ป.
๐ Commissioned by Steve Jobs in 2008 after summers aboard Larry Ellisonโs yacht, Venus was built by Feadship and designed by Starckโs company Ubik. Jobs envisioned a futuristic sailing paradise with seamless tech integration, combining luxury with his passion for design and technology ๐คโจ.
๐ซ Tragically, Jobs passed away in 2011, and Venus was unveiled on October 28, 2012, at the Feadship shipyard in the Netherlands. Costing over โฌ100 million ๐ถ, the yacht’s name was inspired by the Roman goddess of love ๐. Its aluminum exterior and floor-to-ceiling windows reflect Appleโs sleek, minimalist aesthetic ๐ฑ.
๐ง 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 ๐, with custom communication systems linking the kids’ rooms in the front with the adult quarters at the rear ๐๏ธ. Every system onboard, including lighting and climate control, can be managed via Apple devices like iPads and iPhones ๐๐ฑ.
๐ป The wheelhouse of Venus is powered by seven 27″ iMacs, making it a tech loverโs dream and allowing for full control of the vessel’s systems. A rear hatch opens to launch a speedboat ๐ค, providing easy shore access when thereโs no dock available.
๐ 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 โฌ3 million from his โฌ9 million design fee. The matter was settled on December 24, 2012, and the yacht was released after the payment was made ๐ผ.
โ๏ธ The engineering of this innovative vessel was led by De Voogt Naval Architects, renowned for many of Feadshipโs groundbreaking yachts. Apple’s chief designer, Jony Ive, contributed to the structural glass throughout the yacht, making it a true collaboration of visionary minds ๐.
๐ผ 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 ๐ซ.
๐ ๏ธ Design & Construction:
โจ Interior & Features: The interior of Venus reflects Steve Jobsโ passion for simplicity and elegance, featuring a beach club, sleek teak decks, and a rear hatch for launching the speedboat ๐ค. While few photos exist, the yachtโs interior is said to be as minimalist and refined as Jobsโ vision ๐ฟ.
๐ก The entire yacht is equipped with Apple technology, with all systems, including navigation, lighting, and heating, controlled by iPads and iPhones ๐๐ฑ. The wheelhouse, powered by seven iMacs, serves as the nerve center of this tech-centric yacht ๐ป.
โก Performance: Venus is powered by two MTU engines, reaching a top speed of 20.5 knots and a cruising speed of 18 knots. The yachtโs sleek, lightweight design ensures smooth, fast voyages around the globe ๐.
๐ผ 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 ๐ผ.
โ๏ธ Legal Dispute: A dispute over Starckโs fee temporarily halted Venus‘ journey in December 2012, leading to its impounding in Amsterdam. After the payment of โฌ3 million, the yacht was released and continues to be one of the most iconic superyachts in the world ๐.
โ 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 ๐ข๐ ๏ธ.
๐ 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 ๐.
