Philippe Starck's yacht for Steve Jobs christened 'Venus'
Steve Jobs died too soon to witness the christening of his Philippe Starck-designed boat built in the Netherlands' Aalsmeer shipyard.
According to Dutch website OneMoreThing, which was first to report the news about the boat's completion and subsequent christening in Dutch waters on Sunday, October 28, in the presence Steve Jobs' widow Laurene three of their children.
The ship, which measures between 70 and 80 meters, took 6 years to build. Its whiteness echoes Apple's flagship products, and the ship also houses seven 27-inch iMacs in the control center, according to the website.
The ship was designed as a floating apartment, complete with a spacious sun deck at the front and a hot tub.
Back in April, French designer Philippe Starck revealed that he had been working on a "revolutionary" project with Apple, adding that it was a personal project that had nothing to do with the brand's business.
Designing the boat was the fruit of an ongoing collaboration between Jobs and Starck over more than seven years. In the wake of Jobs' death, his widow decided to see through the completion of the boat in honor of her late husband.
The yacht is set to be shipped by cargo to the US.
