Steve Jobs’ Feadship Yacht “Venus” is en route to the United States
News has come that Steve Jobs’ yacht, “Venus,” has set sail en route to her new home in the United States. She is currently located in the main port of Tenerife, off of Morocco in the Canary Islands, and one can only assume that she is preparing to venture across the Atlantic ocean. Although all Feadship yachts are impressive, this yacht has a unique profile that makes yachting enthusiasts take a second look. At 230, and with lots of windows nestled into the crisp profile, this yacht lives up to the modern influence that the owner’s company has cast into the world. The “glass helm” has a stunning layout and all systems can be monitored, controlled, and displayed through the seven iMac displays in the helm. Aside from the screens you will find a throttle, rudder control, and a few other simple controls (like a mouse for the computers) but this proves to be one of the cleanest helm layouts that I’ve ever seen. Cleverly, above the helm deck, the navigation equipment has been covertly concealed behind walls which make the yacht have a consistent style from the water line all the way to the very top.
Aside from all the publicity circulating around “Venus,” Feadship also received a lot of praise in 2012 in regard to the 287′ Feadship “Musashi.” “Musashi” is the winner of the Neptune prize at the ShowBoats design awards. She was also named Best Custom Built Yacht at the Asia Boating Awards as well as received the World Yacht Trophy in Cannes.

Steve Jobs was known for ambitious projects and his last one was a superyacht, named Venus. BBuiltby Feadship and designed by the renowned Philippe Stark , Job’s Super Yacht is worth 100 million euros.
![steve jobs yacht location blackmatte](https://www.covethouse.eu/banners_impact/ArticleBanner/hotlink-ok/1200x300-moodboard-black%20matte-article.jpg)
Launched in 2012, one year after the death of Steve Jobs, photos with a glimpse of superyacht interior Venus were never taken before. Until now. Steve Jobs 256-foot-long superyacht caused waves both in the water and online when it was spotted near the British Virgin Islands this past weekend, finally giving a closer and real look of the work developed by the designer Philippe Stark and Feadship .

The Apple founder enlisted the expertise of designer Phillippe Starck to create his one-of-a-kind sailing paradise . Additionally, he hired the chief designer of the Apple Stores to make structural glass for the yacht. Venus’ Super Yacht is crafted with strong aluminum and still, and a row of 27-inch iMacs are used by the ship’s captain to navigate in the wheelhouse.
Philippe Starck spoke about creating Venus in an interview with French Vanity Fair last year, revealing that the superyacht contains six bedrooms and a home automation system to communicate between the kids’ living quarters in the front of the ship, and the adult quarters in the back – so there would be no need for yelling. In Starck’s words:
Steve wanted to be sure that the teenagers could be set up in the front of the boat when he was at the back and vice-versa. He was obsessed with silence. In his home, children did not make noise, nor the dog, nor his wife … no one made any noise, ever.

Steve Jobs' former yacht Venus collided with another superyacht off the coast of Naples
- Venus, the yacht built for Steve Jobs , collided with another yacht off Italy's coast.
- It's unclear which yacht struck which or when exactly the crash occurred.
- With a minimalist design, Venus is one of the world's most iconic superyachts.
![steve jobs yacht location Insider Today](https://www.businessinsider.com/public/assets/BI/US/logos/newsletters/insider-today-logo.png)
Venus, Steve Jobs' former superyacht — now owned by his wife, the philanthropist and investor Laurene Powell Jobs — has collided with another superyacht off of the Italian coast.
A spokesperson from Powell Jobs' Emerson Collective who spoke with a crewmember confirmed to Business Insider that Venus, the 78-meter yacht Steve Jobs commissioned, had collided with Lady Moura, a 105-meter yacht. The collision happened on July 22 off the coast of Naples, Italy.
The spokesperson said that only crew were onboard the yacht and that both boats were anchored when a sudden change of wind led to the collision.
Venus is cruising in the Ligurian Sea, while Lady Moura made its way to Mykonos on Wednesday, based on publicly available tracking data from Marine Traffic.
Videos posted on social media show the strikingly minimalist Venus and the Lady Moura coming into contact. It's not clear from the videos which superyacht struck which, though someone who said they were aboard the Lady Moura seemed to blame Venus' crew on social media, SuperYacht Times reported. The person said the damage was "only a scratch, albeit a significant one that will be costly to repair."
Others on social media said that the Venus appeared to be moored and that Lady Moura seemed to have swung into the boat. BI hasn't been able to independently verify either claim.

The Italian Marina Militare didn't respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. The owner of the Lady Moura couldn't be reached.
No matter how little damage may have been done, insurance will probably cover it. Yacht insurance , which can cost six figures each month, is one of the largest costs incurred by yacht owners.
Venus, built by the top yacht-builder Feadship, was delivered after Jobs died in 2011 and was worth $130 million upon completion. The Apple cofounder was heavily involved in the design process alongside the French architect and decorator Philippe Starck.
"Venus comes from the philosophy of minimum," Starck said of her design. "The elegance of the minimum, approaching dematerialization."
Jobs and Starck spent four years working on her design, the designer told Vanity Fair , holding monthly meetings to discuss her specifications. She has six identical cabins, was built to maximize absolute silence, and, upon delivery, included the most up-to-date technology.
"There will never again be a boat of that quality again. Because never again will two madmen come together to accomplish such a task," Starck told the magazine. "It was not a yacht that Steve and I were constructing, we were embarked on a philosophical action, implemented according to a quasi-religious process. We formed a single brain with four lobes." August 7, 2024 — This story has been updated with a statement from a Laurene Powell Jobs spokesperson.

Steve Jobs' yacht collided with another yacht off the coast of Italy
A pair of yachts, one reportedly belonging to philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs and the other to Ricardo Salinas Pliego, recently bumped into each other.
Footage published on social media by Salinas Pliego Wednesday showed a yacht the billionaire Grupo Salinas founder identified as belonging to Powell Jobs and his own vessel as they unexpectedly touched.
The widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has long been linked to Venus, while Salinas Pliego is the owner of Lady Moura, according to Forbes.
Jobs, whom Powell Jobs was married to from 1991 until his death in 2011, reportedly had a lot of input as Venus’ designer created the vessel. It made its official debut in 2012.
STEVE JOBS' WIDOW GRABS $94 MILLION CALIFORNIA LOT
Venus and Lady Moura were apparently near Naples at the time of their collision.
READ ON THE FOX BUSINESS APP
"I’d like to know what the captain and crew were doing that they didn’t see a yacht the size of mine in front of them. The good thing is that nothing more than a scratch happened, but it’s a big scratch that’s going to cost a lot to fix ha ha ha," Salinas Pliego’s post on social media said.
A source who spoke to the Venus crew told FOX Business the Venus was "involved in a collision on July 22" with just crew on the vessel at the time.

"Both boats involved in the incident were anchored when the wind changed very suddenly, picking up from a breeze to 55 knots over the course of a few minutes. Neither boat dragged anchor, though the other boat was on a chain double the length expected in the depth of water they were in," the source said. "Both captains were in discussions immediately following the incident about minor repairs needed."
Grupo Salinas told FOX Business Lady Moura was anchored "at a depth of 40 meters with seven shackles of chain deployed, which is the minimum required for safe anchoring under the given conditions." It suggested the Venus "misjudged the length of the chain" Lady Moura had in the water and said Lady Moura's crew made "numerous efforts" to alert Venus via whistle and radio that weren't successful.
"Within hours, both parties resolved the situation amicably and professionally," the company said.
Both Salinas Pliego's Lady Moura, at 105 meters (344 feet), and the Venus, at 78 meters (256 feet), are massive yachts.
Salinas Pliego’s vessel has a helicopter landing pad toward the back, according to the Superyacht Times. It is reportedly the 75th-largest yacht in the world.
Venus, meanwhile, comes in at 209th largest, the Superyacht Times reported.
Some 10,800 yachts of various sizes exist globally.

The Venus superyacht is one of the most expensive and luxurious boats in the world.
And on Friday, the $120million vessel owned by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs' widow Laurene Powell Jobs docked in Cairns, Australia.
It's unclear if Laurene, 59, was on the scene, but various staffers were pictured loading Venus with supplies.
The superyacht looked like the picture of perfection as it sat in the crystal green and blue waters of Queensland .
At 255ft long, it dwarfed several smaller yachts that were docked nearby.

The spectacular sea vessel was last spotted in November, 2022, when Laurene enjoyed a holiday in Barbados.
The glamorous socialite had spent the afternoon swanning around the luxury 5-star hotel Sandy Lane's restaurants, shops and spas.
Powell was left widowed after Jobs passed away, age 56, from complications from pancreatic cancer in October 2011. They had three children together and Powell is also step-mother to Jobs' daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs.

Powell (pictured in 2019) was left widowed after Jobs passed away, age 56, from complications from pancreatic cancer in October 2011
When Jobs died, most of his assets passed on to his wife, making her one of the 50 richest people in the world.
Powell married Jobs in 1991 - ten years before the release of the first iPod - and now manages a fortune estimated to be worth $12.3 billion according to Forbes.
In addition to the Venus, she owns two private jets, four large real estate properties and a large stake in the Walt Disney Company.
The Venus was Steve Jobs' final masterpiece, after he commissioned it in 2008 and worked painstakingly on the design with superstar French product designer Philippe Starck.
He did not survive to see the ship completed and launched, dying of pancreatic cancer a year before work was finished in 2012.

In his final years, Steve Jobs told his biographer Walter Isaacson: 'I know that it's possible I will die and leave Laurene with a half-built boat. But I have to keep going on it. If I don't, it's an admission that I'm about to die.'
Starck helped design the sleek 256-foot long vessel, and Jobs enlisted the chief engineer of the Apple Stores to design reinforced glass for its walls, according to his biographer Walter Isaacson.
Starck spoke about Venus in an interview with French Vanity Fair, explaining the yacht houses six bedrooms along with communication systems between the kids' rooms in the front and the adult quarters in the rear.

'Steve wanted to be sure that the teenagers could be set up in the front of the boat when he was at the back and vice-versa. He was obsessed with silence,' Starck said.
'In his home, children did not make noise, nor the dog, nor his wife … no one made any noise, ever.'

Jobs’ boat and mexican billionaire’s yacht get into fender bender.
(Bloomberg) -- Venus, the yacht late Apple founder Steve Jobs designed with Philippe Starck, got in a minor accident in Naples with Lady Moura, a luxury vessel owned by Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego.

Salinas, who is vacationing in the Mediterranean off the coast of Italy, posted a video on X showing Venus slowly drifting toward his yacht while his crew frantically yelled and whistled trying to prevent the collision.
“I’d like to know what the captain and crew were doing that they didn’t see a yacht the size of mine in front of them,” Salinas wrote in a post shared on Wednesday.
He urged clients of his Grupo Elektra retail chain to purchase Apple products to help Jobs’ widow, philanthropist and entrepreneur Laurene Powell Jobs, pay for the “inconvenience.”
“It will take a lot of polish to get that scratch out,” Elektra quickly replied on X, with a link to its online shop.
The minor incident, which happened on July 22, was the result of a sudden change in the wind speed near where both yachts were staying, according to a representative of the owner of Venus. The person said Lady Moura had two times the amount of chain out that Venus did and it was Salinas’ vessel that hit Venus. Having more chain out gives a vessel more leeway to drift. Neither yacht dragged anchor, the person added.
The local coast guard in Italy confirmed that both vessels were anchored in the Naples district of Mergellina in late July when the incident took place. But captains of both yachts decided not to alert authorities, so no probe was initiated.
No member from the Powell Jobs family was aboard when the incident happened, the Venus representative added.
Salinas Pliego’s Grupo Salinas said in a statement on Thursday that Lady Moura anchored in the Bay of Naples at a depth of 40 meters with seven shackles of chain deployed, the minimum required for safe anchoring. The amount of chain was calculated using the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) standards.
“Several hours later, the Venus arrived at the anchorage and seemingly misjudged the length of the chain that the Lady Moura had in the water,” it added. “A violent squall with winds of 50-55 knots from an unexpected direction — different from the prevailing forecasts — caused the impact. Fortunately, the damages to both yachts were minimal and cosmetic. Within hours, both parties resolved the situation amicably and professionally.”
Jobs worked for years on the Venus design while already stricken by cancer, according to a 2014 Starck interview.

More photos of Steve Jobs' yacht Venus
The 78m yacht Venus , built for the late founder of Apple Steve Jobs, was photographed on Thursday at Feadship’s De Vries yard in Aalsmeer, Holland.
After a private party with the workers and the current owner inside the drydock on 27 October, the yacht was Christened on 28 October, when she floated out of the building hall for completing.
Venus was engineered by De Voogt Naval Architects and features styling by Philippe Starck. Construction began in 2009 and the false top deck hiding her communication and television receivers is noted in the new book by Boat International Media, Megayachts 2013.
