Steve Jobs' Yacht, 'Venus,' Sets Sail
David Murphy By David Murphy
Steve Jobs Yacht
It's no secret that late Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, had been working on applying some of Apple's design characteristics to the construction of a big, luxury yacht prior to his death — one year ago this month.
After years of work, the yacht has finally been completed, and Dutch blog One More Thing – appropriately named – has pictures and videos of the big ol' boat. Those working on the yacht, dubbed "Venus," have all received special iPod Shuffles with the boat's name engraved on the back, as well as a card from the Jobs family that thanks them, "for your hard work and craftsmanship."
The most interesting part of the boat so far – for Apple fans and tech-watchers alike – is that it appears to be controlled by a series of seven, 27-inch iMacs set up in the yacht's control room, or wheelhouse. The ship itself is approximately 230 to 260 feet long long and, like the design of Jobs' electronics, feature a hull that's built entirely out of aluminum. A large pane of (reinforced) glass runs around the ship's side, starting at right around the midpoint of the vessel and wrapping around the boat's bow.
