Venus is a super yacht designed by Philippe Starck's design company Ubik and built by Feadship for the entrepreneur Steve Jobs at a cost of €105 million. Jobs died in October 2011, a year before the yacht was unveiled.
History
Venus was unveiled 28 October 2012 at the Feadship shipyard. The yacht was named for the Venus, the Roman goddess of love.[1]
The yacht was impounded 21 December 2012 at the Port of Amsterdam following a payment dispute: Starck claimed Jobs's heirs owed him €3 million of his €9 million fee for the project.[2] The dispute was resolved after a few days.[3]
On 22 July 2024, the yacht collided with Lady Moura, another private yacht, off the coast of Naples, Italy causing damage to both vessels.[4]
