Steve Jobs' Yacht Unveiled, Has Apple Minimalistic Look

| By

Steve Jobs' yacht was unveiled in a Dutch shipyard on Sunday a year after the famous Apple founder died. The yacht has Apple's usual minimalistic design and has been named "Venus."

The unusual boat designed by Jobs and famed minimalist designer Philippe Starck. According to Dutch website OneMoreThing, the finished ship was launched at shipbuilder Koninklijke De Vries in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands. Jobs' widow Laurene and three of their children, Reed, Erin and Eve, were at the ceremony.

Steve Job's yacht was built entirely out of aluminum, and measures between 70 and 80 meters, but because of the aluminum construction, it's lighter than your typical yacht.

According to the report, the enormous yacht is between 230 and 260 feet long. The front of the ship is equipped with a uniquely large sun deck with a jacuzzi built in. Behind that comes an all glass cabin that's topped with a bridge equipped with seven 27-inch iMacs that handle the ship's navigation and controls.

French designer Philippe Starck helped Jobs create the sleek interior which features ten-foot high window panels for the cabins which are forty feet long, according to Jobs' biographer Walter Isaacson.

Those who worked on the ship each received an iPod shuffle with the ship's name engraved on the back as well as a thank-you note from the Jobs family for their "hardwork and craftsmanship", The Verge reports.
