VENUS Yacht – Captivating $120M Superyacht

The VENUS yacht was delivered in 2012 by Feadship, a Dutch shipbuilding company.

Phillippe Stark designed the VENUS, and Jobs was an integral part of the yacht’s design. The 78m yacht has garnered a lot of attention thanks to the famous name who commissioned it, but there are not many details about the boat’s interior available.

VENUS yacht interior

The interior design of the VENUS yacht was largely designed by Steve Jobs, in combination with Philippe Starck .

The yacht’s interior has never been published, and the details available are in short supply. There is a lot of intrigue as to what the yacht’s interior looks like, thanks to the famous name who commissioned it.

One can only imagine that the interior reflects Apple’s slogan “Think Different,” with an eye-catching and minimalist interior to reflect the design of the yacht’s exterior.

It is known that the bridge is lined with 27-inch Mac computer screens, with large cabin windows that are almost floor to ceiling, with a main living area. There is accommodation for 12 guests in 6 suites and 22 crew.

The VENUS yacht has a unique exterior, reflecting the sleekness and eye-catching nature of Apple’s products, and was designed by Philippe Starck.

Feadship was commissioned to execute the build. Everything about the exterior is eye-catching and unique, from the silver paint job to the stainless steel details to the line of rectangular windows that run from the bow.

The structure of VENUS features 90-degree angles, an axe bow for piercing waves, and a flat and somewhat unusually squared stern that opens to reveal a tender garage.

There is no visible radar arch or satellite equipment, as all the equipment is hidden within a box that keeps the VENUS exterior appearance clean and sleek.

Specifications

The 78m VENUS yacht has an 11.8m beam and a 3.1m draft that makes the boat appear low-slung in the water.

The 2 MTU engines give VENUS a top speed of 20.5kn and a cruising speed of 18kn. She displaces 1,876 GT and can cover 5500 nautical miles.

She has an annual running cost of $10-$15 million and was rumored to cost $100 million to build. VENUS was refitted in 2015 at Monaco Marine.

Your Insider’s Look at Steve Jobs’ Yacht Venus

Ian Fortey

The Venus Yacht was built for Steve Jobs, or it almost was. Though Jobs commissioned the yacht, it was launched in 2012, a year after Jobs passed away. He never got to see the finished product. It’s been said that he actually spent the last several years before his death helping to custom design the Venus as his intent was to use it to sail the world with his family.

Venus was designed by a company called Ubik, owned by designer Phillipe Starck. Starck  handled both the interior design and the exterior design. The build was undertaken by renowned shipyard Feadship out of the Netherlands.

The yacht is a little lighter than some of her size thanks to the fact she doesn’t have a steel hull like many superyachts do. Instead, she features both an aluminum hull and an aluminum superstructure. She also features teak decks.

The exterior design features many straight lines and right angles. The stern is squared and it features an axe bow. There’s also very little to see on deck even from above. Unlike most yachts , there is no visible radar arch or satellite equipment because it’s obscured within a box structure to maintain that simple design look. 

Who Owns the Venus Yacht?

interior venus yacht

As a result of the death of Steve Jobs the yacht became part of his estate which belongs to his widow Laurene Powell Jobs. She has maintained ownership of the yacht since it was finished in 2012. There was a brief time when the yacht was impounded after its construction. This was caused by a dispute over payment. Phillipe Starck claimed that the fee for his work was never paid in full. He was said to have designed the yacht for about $9 million and $3 million was still owing. After 10 days, Jobs’ estate settled the account and the yacht was delivered.

How Big is the Yacht Venus?

interior venus yacht

The Venus measures in at a respectable 257 feet in length. So clearly she qualifies as a superyacht, even if she doesn’t quite measure up to Jeff Bezos’ 417-foot megayacht Koru . The Venus also has a beam of about 38 feet and her volume comes in at 1,876 GT which is actually a little on the light side for such a large yacht, in part due to the aluminum construction.

How Much Did the Venus Yacht Cost?

Steve Jobs commissioned the yacht for an impressive $120 million. Yachts like the Eclipse are alleged to be upwards of $1.5 billion and even the massive Azzam has been confirmed at around $600 million so obviously the Venus is not the most expensive vessel, but it’s nothing to sniff at, either.

We know from what we mentioned above that $9 million of that alone went to the designer of the yacht. Like many yachts of this size there is also a considerable cost related to the yearly operations of the vessel. Things like crew salaries, taxes and fuel costs are considerable. In light of that, it’s been estimated that it costs between $10 million and $20 million just to keep the boat on the water for a year. That may seem steep but it’s definitely normal for most yachts.

Is the Venus Yacht Available for Charter?

interior venus yacht

Jobs was a notoriously private man in many ways and his family remains the same, at least insofar as this yacht is concerned. It’s never been made available for charter and, in fact, very little is known about it.

How Fast is the Venus Yacht and What Engines Does It Use?

The Venus makes use of a pair of twin diesel MTU (16V 4000 M73) 16-cylinder engines. Together they produce  3,433 horsepower. This allows her to cruise at speeds of 16 knots. She can also reach a maximum speed of 22 knots which is fairly substantial for a yacht of her size.

What’s the Interior of the Venus Yacht Like?

interior venus yacht

As you can tell from the unique hull design, there is a minimalist aesthetic to the yacht. It does resemble some Apple products from the time period in its way. Towards the after of the vessel on the starboard side there’s a launch bay for tenders that can be deployed by crane and apparently the design included a wheelhouse powered by seven 27″ iMacs.

The aft of the vessel opens to a large beach club for guests to enjoy the ocean and the sun, features a swim platform and lounge area.

The yacht has the capacity to accommodate 12 guests across 6 cabins. There is also room for a crew of 22 to maintain the vessel. The design is simple and clean all over. Glass, silver and white with everything polished is what you see all over the vessel.

Features and Amenities

The features of the Venus are actually totally unknown to this day. Jobs has never invited photographers on board to get a glimpse of what the cabins or living spaces may look like so there’s no word on how it all came together. Likewise, the designer has not shared any of the blueprints or ideas that went into making the yacht. This is common among designers of superyachts, however, and many have to sign non-disclosure agreements so they couldn’t share details even if they wanted to. 

Until such time as Laurene Jobs opts to either open the yacht to the public or sell it, the interior details are going to remain a mystery beyond what observers are able to glimpse from afar.

The Bottom Line

The Venus was a yacht partially designed and commissioned by Steve Jobs before his death in 2011. The yacht was finished in 2012 so he never got to see the final product on the water. Jobs once admitted he knew he might die before the yacht was finished but didn’t want to stop his work because he felt like it was an admission that he was going to die and didn’t want to quit like that.

The yacht is very uniquely designed in a minimalist style which reminds many of how Apple products in general are designed. The yacht cost Jobs about $120 million. It measures in at 257 feet in length.

Laurene Jobs is the current owner of the yacht and she has maintained her privacy with the vessel. As such, not only is it not available for charter but no one has seen images of the inside either.

Take A Look At The 256-Foot Yacht That Was Designed For Steve Jobs Before He Died

"Venus," a 256-foot yacht designed for the late Steve Jobs, was spotted in the British Virgin Islands over the weekend.

New photos snapped by the Cape Cod-based  Woods Hole Inn and first reported by Gizmodo  give a close look at the boat, plus a quick glimpse of its interior.

Though the yacht has been photographed in the wild before, these shots are the best we've seen.

Jobs reportedly approached  French designer Philippe Starck for help bringing his dream yacht to life. Jobs had spent several summer vacations sailing on friend Larry Ellison's yacht, and he wanted one for himself.

Related stories

Work on "Venus" wasn't complete until 2012, a year after Jobs' death.

The final product is made of aluminum and steel, with simple, sleek lines reminiscent of an Apple product. 

According to a Vanity Fair interview with Starck, the yacht has six bedrooms and a complex home-automation system. 

"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."

"Venus" is currently owned by Jobs' widow, Laurene Powell Jobs.

Motor Yacht

The 78 metre superyacht Venus emerged from the Feadship yard in Aalsmeer in 2012, showcasing immaculate design, extensive use of glass and an unforgettable profile in a pedigree collaboration between Philippe Starck, De Voogt Naval Architects and her visionary commissioner, who is speculated to be the design and technology icon Steve Jobs.

Immediately recognisable, opinion splitting and a genuine triumph of design, this superyacht has since been seen cruising the world and turning heads in every port. Holding expert design characteristics of the Apple empire, with specially created elements on board to enhance both use and performance.

With a layered profile and superstructure reflecting a clean, minimalist style, Venus holds a beam of 11.8 metres (38’9”) and a draught of 3 metres (9’11”) to create spacious internal volumes to take anywhere in the world. This highly secretive yacht is both part of the Top 100 and widely considered to be one of the finest yachts on the water.

Rihanna To Expand Net Worth By Millions As She’s The New Face Of Dior’s J’Adore Fragrance

'save the cheerleader, count the millions': the heroes cast, ranked by net worth, despicable me movies, in order of box office performance, quick links, a custom creation, not built for charter, built for long hauls, an unusual, clean exterior, unique interior furniture, custom apple products, patented remote control app, an ideal vacation yacht.

Steve Jobs has left a legacy behind being the co-founder and former Chairman of Apple that has changed the way people perceive technology. Jobs liked to live life to the fullest and enjoyed luxury homes , epic car collections, and expensive motorhomes. One of his purchases was a mega yacht that cost him $138 million. It was customized in every shape and form for him and his family to enjoy. While Jobs passed away before he got to set sail on the Venus, Laurene Powell acquired the yacht and uses it to cruise around famous destinations around the world.

A streamlined exterior with a high-tech interior featuring Apple Products, the Venus is a masterpiece family yacht equipped with every amenity required by the people on board. The family can sail in a powerful engine and comfortable cabins for days with a powerful engine. Let’s look at the luxurious features of the $138 million yacht, Venus.

The mega yacht Venus is named after the Roman Goddess of Beauty, Virility, and Love. It was made with a collaboration between Jobs and famous French designer Philippe Starck, best known for his interior designs of household objects, watches, and boats. Impressed by his work, Jobs called Starck in 2007 to discuss the idea of building a yacht. The designer traveled to Palo Alto to discuss the boat's design, and it took Starck merely an hour and a half to complete the final design, as noted by Vanity Fair .

Since its inception, the yacht was shrouded in secrecy with very little knowledge about the details. Since the boat belonged to Steve Jobs, it garnered attention. As the yacht was built while Jobs was undergoing his cancer treatment, he knew it wouldn’t be complete until his last days. He left the vessel for his wife and made a family yacht that's not available for charter. Only Powell and his children can enjoy the boat.

The yacht was officially delivered in 2012 after being built by Feadship in the Netherlands. According to Super Yacht Fan , the Venus is equipped with 2 MTU engines which are the most popular marine engines used in yachts. It gives a top speed of 20.5 knots with a cruising speed of 18 knots. While it is not the fastest yacht, the engine is built with low displacement for cruising yachts.

Along with having a profile owner, what truly makes Venus stand out is the exterior. The 78.2-meter superyacht has a glossy silver paint job with stainless steel details along the lines. Venus looks long and lean with a low-slung structure made from glass. Starck created the layout with 90-degree angles and straight lines. The yacht features a flat, squared stern, an ax bow, and a garage. Venus has hidden the satellite equipment and radar arch under a box to keep the exterior clutter-free.

While Jobs and Starck designed the exterior, the interior was incomplete when the Apple co-founder passed away. Laurene Powell completed the interior furnishings with clean concepts reflected on the exterior. The yacht accommodates 12 guests along with four crew members at a time. As stated by Motor Biscuit , it has a waterfall-fed spa pool with a large garage that can hold large watercraft like a Jet Ski.

The eye-catching and unique design of the boat is a reflection of the products like an iPhone or iPad designed by Apple. Aboard the boat, it is no surprise that Venus features the top-of-the-line Apple Products from the Home Pod and iPads to Apple TV and streaming services provided by the brand. The yacht's bridge is lined with iMac computers instead of the regular screens. The experience of stepping onto Venus would be like entering an Apple store.

An inventor in every shape and form, Steve Jobs registered a patent under his name for a remote control application like an iPhone that can control any marine vessel or yacht. In 2016, the US Patent and Trademark Office approved the remote control device. The touchscreen device displays the yacht's status and shows subsystem data and which systems are engaged while the vessel is cruising in the water.

Steve Jobs may have never experienced the opportunity to travel on the boat; however, his family has had many vacations cruising it. As mentioned by Daily Mail , in 2016, Laurene Powell and her three children were spotted vacationing in Europe on the yacht. It is a comfortable yacht that can make week-long adventures a fun trip. The family took a pit spot in Italy and Croatia while traveling the sea.

Along with Phillippe Starck, Steve Jobs created a yacht that would truly stand the test of time. With innovation and a unique design, Venus is one of the most eye-catching yachts designed to date. As Jobs believed in the motto to Think Different, he used the same concept to create a yacht that will always remain a fascinating piece of engineering.

M/Y VENUS 78m Yacht by Feadship owner the Jobs family

  • €110,000,000

Most radical new yacht 2013 Venus,Design by Phillip Stack and Steve Jobs together.

The “Starck” design melds elements of Dieter Rams and Frank Lloyd Wright.

Engineering of the futuristic-looking Venus came from Feadship’s team at De Voogt Naval Architects, and a notable feature is her clever upper deck design that conceals communications and TV receivers.

Notable features of the finished vessel include smooth, all-teak decks, a rear hatch to launch a separate speed boat when a suitable dock isn’t available to go ashore, and a wheelhouse powered by seven 27″ iMacs.

A tablet or phone can control the navigational systems on the yacht and passenger comforts such lights or heating.
