Venus superyacht is the embodiment of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs’ ideology. Everything from the boat’s length, its minimalism, its technology, and features stems from a fraction of the genius mind. Despite pouring his heart and soul into the vessel and its design process with ace designer Philippe Starck, the maverick never once set foot on it.
Today, his newly married daughter Eve Jobs and her husband Harry Charles are turning this Mecca of serenity for the late billionaire into their love nest. After a $6.7 million three-day wedding celebration in the Cotswolds, the billionaire heiress and a Team GB gold medalist are unwinding on the $120 million Feadship yacht.
The equestrian couple celebrated their big day with A-listers like Kamala Harris, Kourtney Kardashian, Jennifer Gates Nassar, Bruce Springsteen’s daughter Jessica, and Bill Gates’ daughter Phoebe, in addition to star performer Sir Elton John. They chose the most incredible and billionaire-esque way of kickstarting their honeymoon.
There is no better way to enjoy summer in the Mediterranean for the rich and famous than aboard a luxury vessel. Just ask the many billionaires and celebrities like Jeff and Lauren Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Kylie Jenner, and world‑famous DJ Martin Garrix, who have been spotted cruising these waters.
The newlyweds chose the 257-foot motor yacht named after the goddess of love to embark on their married life in style, according to Tatler. For Eve, Venus holds even deeper meaning as a lasting tribute to her father’s vision, making their honeymoon all the more special. She was last seen aboard the yacht in June, celebrating her bachelorette party in Capri with close friends.
Thanks to Eve’s bachelorette celebrations and now her honeymoon, Venus is once again being discussed in a joyful light. This is a refreshing change from last year, when the 1876 GT yacht made headlines for its collision with Lady Moura despite its state‑of‑the‑art systems. Known for its Apple‑style design, the vessel features sleek glass panels, seven 27″ iMacs on the bridge for navigation, and an integrated system that can even control environmental settings, possibly via iPhone or iOS app.
Steve Jobs envisioned the $120 million Venus yacht, but never experienced her-
Venus is the making of the late Steve Jobs’s clear vision and Philippe Starck’s genius. In a phone call with Starck, Jobs reportedly said, “Would you like to make a boat?” giving minimal constraints, just length and guest capacity, and granting total creative freedom. That said, the billionaire who passed away in 2011 championed a philosophy of minimalism rarely seen on any other yacht.
It’s perhaps this ethos that sets Venus apart from traditional luxury vessels; it hardly feels like a conventional boat at all. Starck shared, “Steve Jobs always wanted less and less, which was fabulous. With the design done, it was all about refining it. Re-polishing it. We came back on the same details until they were perfect. We had many calls about parameters, the result is the perfect application of our joined philosophy.”
Venus carries Eve Jobs into wedded life, a serene link to her late father’s vision-
Though Steve Jobs never traveled to Venus and feared leaving his wife, Laurene Powell, with an unfinished boat, his pioneering vision lives on. Harry Charles now has the chance to experience it firsthand. Jobs said, “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.” The largest shareholder of Disney stock at one point decided the layout of the boat depending on his love for silence. Call it obsession if you will, but the 56‑year‑old tech tycoon even insisted that teenagers be set up in the front of the boat when he was at the back, with a discreet communication system in place so no one had to raise their voice.
Venture inside the vivid Venus superyacht-
The six cabins of the Venus yacht follow a silence‑first layout, something Eve Jobs will likely cherish as she enjoys uninterrupted time with her new husband, and even more so when they eventually have children aboard. Beyond its thoughtful design, Venus stands as one of Steve Jobs’ most meaningful legacies.
He not only left Laurene Powell Jobs an extraordinary asset but also gave his four children and their growing families a place filled with memories. Thanks to Venus, they will always feel a deep connection to the man who forever changed the worlds of computing, music, film, and wireless technology. According to Marine Traffic, the Venus superyacht has departed from the Greek Island of Milos and is cruising near Hydra, just off the Athens Coast.
