Ever seen Steve Jobs MegaYacht "VENUS"? Now you can! We were out filming in Simpson Bay at St Maarten, Caribbean the other day and came across "VENUS" sitting proudly at anchor, just getting ready to head to sea! We filmed several yachts, including the 157ft SuperYacht "C2", owned by Ronald Perelman.. Billionaire investor and philanthropist with holdings in Revlon Group of womens cosmetics, and AM General which is the company known for the Hummer and Humvee utility vehicles.
At 82m in length, "VENUS" was the direct brain child of the late Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple for many years. Jointly designed with Philippe Starck, the yacht elegantly boasts pure simplicity in line with Steve Job's desire to design private, quiet places that provided the Zen like atmosphere that he preferred. Steve was once quoted as saying, "I've tried to be inspired by the Asian idea that emptiness is more important than fullness"... Hence the famous transparent chair he designed in 1998 called "The Marie" that he believed to be an "almost perfect object", just as his idea to bring "VENUS" to life as the Elegance of Minimal.
Unfortunately, Steve Jobs passed away before ever getting to see his final masterpiece come to life, but the family brought the project to completion and now "VENUS" roams the Earth in Steve's memory with a fixed crew of 22 onboard.

Awesome! I saw Venus at anchor at a cove north of La Paz, Mexico in May 2014 while I was getting my ASA 104 and 114 certifications. Beautiful yacht.
i love how everyone waves at each other while on boats
Absolutely beautiful. I love the minimal design of it. It's a work of art!
i like your voice . its simple without drama tones in your description. Exact and to the point .
i actually have seen this boat in person, this was when i lived in Barcelona, i was walking with my family and from behind it looked like a square and we were making fun of it, until we walked next to it, realizing how big it was, and admiring it for how good the rest of the boat was. When we got home we typed in the name of the boat and found out that it was Steve jobs' boat. We didn't realized we were laughing at 100 million dollar boat. I regret taking no pictures, even though at the time i didn't have a phone.
Great example of, "You can't take it with you when you die."
+tracy smith No, but he could have (should have?) been buried in it!!
Like every other thing anybody has ever owned. Well done.
The logic of an envious person like you
Well then Tracy, that settles it, I'm not going.
@@eddiekruggerr4972 No that's just a fact. Has nothing to do with envy
I loved the juxtaposition of the intro shots of "Budget Marine" with the obscene displays of wealth in the subsequent video.
Love your updates! And it is nice to see the big yachts as well, would love to see more like this. Really enjoyed it :)
Great video! Venus is masterpiece of design. I wonder how well she would do in rough seas. The C2 yacht looks bigger than 157ft filmed from the video's waterline perspective. Another beautiful Super Yacht. You are very fortunate to spend your days in a place filled with such beautiful examples of maritime design. Take Care.
Glad you enjoyed Scott, thanks for your comment! :)
Great video! And I like how your music wasn't too loud. It was perfectly integrated into the story. Good job!
Hannah Blessing Thanks! And glad you enjoyed! :)
A yatch that looks like an Apple Store...
I agree, it's a "yatch" because it ain't a yacht!
You meant cruise ship
Strideo1 agree why do they call them yatch it doesn't have any sails so not a yatch afraid
Nahhhh. Yatch's can be motor yatchs, or sailing yatchs. A yatch is any vessel used for personal pleasure, instead of military or commercial use.
Seriously? BOTH of you can't spell "yacht"?
Nicely done! Thanks for posting.
Jobs' creations were always extraordinary.
Wozniaks creations. Steve jobs was not a coder or an inventor. He was the marketing guy.
@@RyanPowerhouse no he wasn't. He became a business executive but was very product focused (design + technicals) until the very end. Just look how much input he had in toy story.
@@yoloswag6242 you are right
1:49 "this is the yacht you helped paid for" lol!
He can enjoy the zen like atmosphere somewhere else now.👍🏻
Haha--nothingness indeed.
I saw this yacht in March of 2017 sitting in dock in San Diego. Video doesn't do it justice. It's huge!
SO NICE...!!! PERFECTO...!!!
The "Sophisticated Lady" has something these mega yachts don't have... Lucky, and therefor the Sophisticated Lady will always be more desirable... I did like the video with Richard Branson hitching a ride to the sail boat race though, he seems like fun to hang out with...
Yes, we do have "LUCKY" as an advantage.. and the "LADY" is starting to look pretty spiffy! :)
Rick Moore~ Yes the "Lady" looks really good, you take good care of them both...
I heard about Venus, nice to see it come to reality. Steve was looking forward to spending time on it, he never got to of course. Nice video thanks for the cool yachts!
Thanks for the tour Rick. Always enjoy your videos. I hope you'll be in St. Martin in June. I'd love to say hello. As for Venus, I first saw pictures of it several months ago and I thought it was "fugly". But I have to say, it's growing on me the more I see it and seeing it "live" in your vid, I'm liking it even more.
life goals
+SUB. DELINQUENT Nah, I'd rather have Queef Mary.
rethink your goals
Yup, just what I thought; it's a little bigger than mine.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this video. You have made it so well, not only the footage, but the information, as well. Very informative. Kudos!
The S. Jobs boat looks like a sight seeing vessel for tourists. Tasteless and obviously designed by a office building architect. The sailing yachts shown prior to this in the video are beautiful 👍
How does yours look?
After iphone, ipad......iboat available in all apple store for only 100 millions $
+Jordan Cherrier (Joch97410) $139 Million, actually... ;)
If only she was powered by sail, nothing beats pure wind power
"only" xD
Wow... thats really an eyepoop!
Superyacht design just keeps getting better and better. Looking forward to the future!
Superyacht design just keeps getting uglier and uglier. Dreading what is in the future.
I enjoyed docking these yachts
Are the battery's also laminated into the hull so you can't replace them but instead you need to buy a new yacht?
Probably, plus when it doesn't work after an update the "Genius Bar" guys tell you it can't be repaired, but you can buy another at a fraction of the price - say, 5/4ths...
After each service it gets a little slower. Soon you will need a new one to go anywhere
Do you have to throw it away when the battery goes bad?
You'd want to. That would show how much money you have to waste. He should by fifty of them and have a public sinking ceremony, then laugh about how much money he's still got.
So very nice super yacht and of course the place is so nice also to visit with.
Looks just like the Lego ships I would build as a kid!
Looks like a floating office building.
Does it need updating every six months?
+livvidd hahahaha!
Gives new meaning to blue screen of death.
LOL more like every six weeks!
@@andrew_owens7680 I thought that was only windows
The update downgrades the operating system such that you have to buy a new yacht.
Have been enjoying your videos for a few years now. Hope your still there VI when I get there. One day it will work out. Thanks for sharing your way of life
Nice production and thanks for the real voice. !!! Good Job!
Goes to show you, does not matter how much money you make. You still meet the same outcome as the poor dude without the yacht.
too true
no iphones
Zents Gaming So what? You think rich people weren't poor or didn't know this before? Go and sit down. People like you are only happy when bad things happen to those you envy. Stupid, bushman reasoning.
Zents Gaming yep he never saw this completed never used it paid for it and died like everybody else.
Does that make you feel better?
"My iBoat crashed...." Calls Tech support. "Yes have you made sure it was turned on?" "Shit...."
reboot it and try again.. Lol
Very modern and simple look. I like it.
Great relaxed clip!
I guess Apple DOES support Windows.
Good point.
Let's hope they put in a sprinkler system to wash them. I wonder if they thought about that?
They clean the widows using swimming pool detergents.& Long poles, with the squegee on them.
I thought Steve was a environmental type.....I now know da troof.

An 82meter yacht as the "elegance of minimal"????
+Dave M there is a thing called "minimalistic design"
hahaha only idiots believe in the apple minimalist philosophy. its called cut back on options and charge idiots a premium. And IT WORKS!
fhhsvnggbh look at Steve Jobs life and tell me he didn’t believe in minimalism to a fault.... the guy didn’t have any furniture except a rug and a lamp for almost ten years and only got any because he got married and had kids... that he claimed were actually his this time. He is a fucking freak when it comes to that shit...
why so many people don't get the idea of "minimalistic" ? are they just jealous ?
@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi Jealous? Daddy doesn't have enough money to buy you awesome Apple products?
beautiful yachty
I worked on the Quantum Blue, ICE, Shergar, Solandge and Assam and I even was a project manager on the Phoenix 2.
The Venus looks more like a building than a yacht. I wonder how all that glass would hold up in a storm.
It's ballistic glass the same used on the president's limo you can hit it with a 50 cal and it won't break so a rogue wave won't be a problem.as for her superstructure it's a nonfactor since she clearly has a hual that was made in the wave piercing style so she can cut through waves instead of taking the full brunt like ships with classic bow designs do which will eliminate a lot of rocking and wave impact on the superstructure
as long as it’s not the glass that’s on my iPhone...
Will O'Haver 🤣
Only Steve Jobs could build a monstrous monument to egotistical consumerism and then use a word like "minimalist" to describe it.
I agree. It's silly and delusional
+Nate Reiners Get over yourself jackass, the boat does have a minimalist design... you know there are 8k sq ft homes that have a minimalist design too right? I dont think you understand the concept.
+natereiners well said
+Silence DoOkay commercial appearance?? lol, the design is minimalist.. its obviously not minimalist in the in the scene of lifestyle, but IS minimalist in its design.. do a google image search of "minimalist design" you will understand.
Chris Theis
Beautiful. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder.
Thank you for the great footage, brother. :) The Jobs story is a good reminder to keep your cell phone away from your prostate. #truth
If i ever have so much money i can easily afford a super yacht... i'll name it URANUS Nuff said :)
not Boaty Mcboatyface :(
Why?
Dan O perhaps he is inspired by the idea that if he does a good job Uranus will be on everyone's lips and friend and associates will all be begging to see it from inside. "Permission to come aboard Uranus, Captain"?
Ronan B How interesting. In your fantasy, is there a pool and a hot tub in Uranus?
you wouldn't believe the places uranus has taken me
Nice video thanks ,it really cheered up this wet dark cold winter night in London . Steve Jobs boat Im sorry but to me it looks like a real turkey, just think if she ever had to take a wave over the bow ,look at the housing. I am speaking from ignorance maybe there is something magic going on but to me it looks like a floating restaurant on the Mississippi , look forward to your next post.
Noel Faulkner Yes, amazing how many people either love it or hate it, nothing in between, Lol.. Ever seen the yacht "A"?
Rick Moore What is the yacht "A"
The 'A' was at at San Juan for a couple of months, looks amazing. Is the largest private yacht in the world if I'm not mistaken.
Noel Faulkner It is Andrey Malnichenko's super yacht, of which there are several videos of it on the Tube kzhead.info/sun/ZtixfZV_n5OrYH0/bejne.html
Syd Syko Thanks Syd
great video Rick....happy holidays buddy...an thumbs up ya... 1FM Lake George, NY
Beautiful video
There seems no end to the things rich people can piss their money away on. Of course, poor people do a pretty good job of it too.
Marky Pol
if you are saying Steve didn't have a budget for his company or this boat, your wrong. The only difference is his budget had a lot more zeros.
Maybe they just like to hire people to do stuff. You know, because they can. A lot of people made a lot of money building this boat. I am sure that every one of them deserve what they got paid. The only wasted money is money kept in a cafe.
It's a nice yacht for iZen, but personally, I like them to look a bit more like a futuristic war ships. But hey, I'm a gizmatologist (made up word), I really enjoy many bells and whistles. Ooo SHINY! ;)
Just look after the Dune 88Explorer. That is like a warship
+Dragon Steel - Looks like an old dreadnaught battleship from back at turn of the 18th century.
Jobs' family saw the project through... Now, I just bet they did. So nice of them, just so selfless (!) ; )
"Back on our side of reality..." love it!!
Great video but my own opinion of the Venus is that it's not a very pretty ship. That being said, if asked to take it off of their hands, I might! : )
I calculate it took the labor of 27,233 indentured Chinese Foxcon workers their entire life to make enough gadgets to pay for that thing. Funny, I thought it would be way more.
AWESOME AND CONGRATULATIONS BECAUSE VENUS IS ABSOLUTELY ELEGANCE WITH AMAZING LUXURY!
cool, thanks for sharing this
Must be nice getting to be a crew member on board the Yacht Venus where you can live in absolute luxury while getting paid to "roam" the Earth.
Actually, that's not unlike crews on every super yacht that's been built! They all roam the world at the whim of their billionaire owners.
It's a mixed bag, the grass is always greener on the other side. If you're really lucky and get on with an amazing owner, then it's probably one of the best jobs in the world, especially if the sea is your passion. But those jobs are few and far between. Quite a lot more people get mediocre or awful owners, don't get much vacation time, work 18 hour days, and are on call 24/7/365 waiting for someone else's beck and call and putting their own lives and families and friends on the back burner all the time. It's definitely not for everyone. And the good jobs are very hard to get because the owners are really selective, and the people who have those jobs don't often leave them.
Steve Jobs' MEGAYACHT, sponsored by "BUDGET MARINE."
Stunning! Simply stunning. 🛳
Thanks, Rick. I love video. We're moving to FL from CO to be closer to the Caribbean. Can you tell me, where did you get the music? Is it a sound clip I can buy somewhere? Thanks!
Oh, THAT's what you get when your company only pays 0.0005% in taxes in Ireland.
does the windows crack as easy as his iphone/ipads??
Really strange design for a ship. This band of Windows to the front-end looks so fragile. But the ports on the rear are gorgeous too. Very special indeed and beautiful on his very own way. Thanks for showing this nice yards, because the other three are great too!
Oh man , i like your Videos. A very big thump up for you
Being one of the crew on Steve Jobs yacht has to be a dream job for those people. I would think there isn't a lot of job security when you work on a yacht because your at the mercy of the owners whim, he may just get board with his yacht or a hundred other reasons they may not have a need for what you do. In the case of the venus there's no reason that yacht can't sail the seas for 20 or 30 years with the same crew, if the goal is to just sail around in Steve's memory. I'm curious as hell how that actually works. By the way I think it looks OK, kind of like a mansion you'd see in a desert climate with walls of windows.
***** That makes sense, I guess I'm naive to think they would do what they said they would when large amounts of money are involved. A while back a wealthy man left his house that was over 200 years old, and all his money to the historical society so they could maintain it. The historical society decided there were other more significant houses they wanted to use the money for. They sold the house, the new owners remodelled the hell out of it built some huge stables, and now it's a business that boards horses. That guy must be spinning in his grave.
+John Fisher I'm like you I can't imagine working at the same place for years on end, but there are a lot of people that would like the job security. My father worked in the same factory for 35 years, he thought I was crazy when I quit one of my first jobs after two years because I was board with it, especially since I was making more than him. There's probably more people that would stick with the same job than people that have enough confidence to leave a steady job for the unknown. I've always advised people to think as every job as a stepping stone to a better job, you should always be trying to better yourself, there's no reason to settle.
+C Smith: You're right there is no job security except what you make for your self by your job performance. It's kinda nice when a person does not keep a job because he has a union card in his/her pocket. When a really good job performance and individual initiative create job security that's the best way.
+C Smith No its not sailing around the world in Jobs memory lol. His family probably charter it to people through the year making a massive income from it.
+Kords You're probably right, that makes more sense.
Looks like a mix between Noah's ark and an airport terminal.
Noah's Airport Ark Taxi-way!!! Time to blast off!
"Elegance of Minimal" right on Steve:)
Stunning
Saw Venus in Palm Beach last year.
does it have a headphone jack?
Haven't you heard? You just take a drill with a 3.5mm bit and drill straight into the center of your forehead and once the bleeding stops, plug in your headphones for full 44k .mp3 of every song you can remember!
Try going to Nelson's Dockyard in Antugia a short plane hop away. Theres a badass fort overlooking a lot of yachts and a bunch of sailing ships, at least while i was there
Have many times. Usually parked in the harbor next to my place. Beautiful ship
When I hear Philanthropist... I think human trafficking right away
How can that back door shut properly with those metal posts on there?
I think there is a gap on top when it closes. I didn’t like it either. Sink it.
They must be removable. i.ytimg.com/vi/V0CVgqdgE_A/maxresdefault.jpg
I absolutely appreciate This video, great video!! ... & music too! I'm saddened, with tears, though, ya kno... Realizing that he neve 3! Wg3rrer knowing he never was able to enjoy his beautiful yacht ? Thank You!!, Shelley Anne Schoenfeld
The elegance of minimal? You kidding me right?
steve has his zen-like atmosphere. bet he'd trade that yacht for 25 minutes more of life.

+G Philip C we all die, what is important is 1 ) We repent and ask for forgiveness, 2 ) We live a life worthy of remembering, 3 ) We don't forget happiness and fulfillment are not external things but internal and we have the capacity to have joy even with a simple life.
+Joshua Hults What a load of crap that is...
***** :(
+Joshua Hults I agree with you Joshua. Clearly martin is only concerned with extrinsic rewards. his life must be meaningless. sorry martin.
I'm hearing they wanted to call it the "IFLOAT" originally......
I've heard about Venus before but I never knew it belonged to Steve Jobs, it's beauty is divine.
She definitely stand out in the crowd! Thanks for watching! :)
Kinda takes me back to the early 60's when we used to holiday at Billy Butlins Camps.during the summer break;Of course most Camps of that era have now been demolished - pity no one Designing this Eye Sore took heed!
It's mind boggling what you could do with that much money! As for me, all I want is enough to sustain myself, get a older model 30-33 foot sailboat and cruise around. Just relax and enjoy life. Like the words of the Bible say, "What benefit a man to gain the whole world yet loose his soul" As usual I enjoyed the video and look forward to them. Take care and God Speed......
Johnny Wilson Yes, and all the money in the world still didn't help Steve keep his own life above all else... should be an eye opener for everyone... enjoy what you have and who you have, and appreciate every day.
Amen on that Rick....have a great week and God speed
Did they spell it wrong in the Bible too?
33 is not enough stability for me to cruise the oceans. more like a 77 Catamaran
Where's the USB port?
Wow amazing yacht
Wow. Brilliant. Mr. Job's
Honestly - two previous yachts in a beginning of a video looked better. IMHO, this one, though - does not look like a yacht at all - more like a floating beach house of some kind.
iHouseboat
I wonder who owns this ship now ?
Steve's wife and family
I think it was bought by robert maxwell who is a media tycoon in the uk
Nice Video thanks for posting when we sell some records we could one of those as well
i dont have an apple phone but hell i love the yatch, im a fan,steve job please come to life
It is made by Dutch ship makers
R Molenaar yup
My opinion, that yacht looks like crap, I like the one before it.
Eddi Kimball it looks more like Uranus than Venus.
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSE, BUT STEVE'S ELEGANCE YACHT STILL SAILS WITH AWESOME PERFORMANCE. ALL LOVE AND BLESSINGS !
hey thx for this steve jobs yatcht.. music is really great, did u compose it.. any possibility for me to add to my playlist.. thx
It's part of my royalty free collection that I have to purchase for use on KZhead.. can find all the music at www.SmartSound.com
thanks for sharing this ... so sad to know that Steve never seen his boat after all the work he has made during 30 years, he deserve it ... now his ex wife is "cheating" him with Adrian and apparently dare to use this boat for her holidays with her "new love" (and they met 2 month after the death of Steve) ... Life is unfair
+Jessica Gard yes, tell me about it... no matter how you feel about the boat, it's a life dream realized that he never got to see completed... but just proof that it doesn't matter how much you have, you can't buy more time, so we all have to learn to appreciate every single minute... this boat will forever be a lesson in that.
+Jessica Gard Well, its good that he doesn't see this boat... because its UGLY!!!
+Jessica Gard I'm not sure I understand.... She is cheating on Steve, because she is now with somebody she met AFTER he died..... and because she has the gall to actually use a yacht that belongs to her? Your post makes no sense.
+Lee White didn't you know anytime someone dies you suppose to stop using everything of theirs because in some way its shameful and too never move on with life. I agree its a boat he built it, he passed on! she is using it the way it was meant to at sea. @jessica gard and its not SEEN HIS BOAT but rather he never saw his boat. He has done during 30 years, Deserves i could go on but i doubt it will help
+Jessica Gard Jobs was a fucking sociopath who did not invent a single thing in his life. And his wife can do whatever the fuck she wants since hes dead and he acted like a dick when she was pregnant, just leaving her.
So, Steve Job owns this, and I can't even afford to pay my home off and own it. The rich gets richer and the poor poorer.
maybe try owning a business? dont complain about being poor and complaining about rich people, when they own businesses.
Invent something
I'm sure Steve is on board!
Really great video - I still haven't seen "Venus" in the flesh yet so this was the next best thing. I didn't like the look of her from the photos I'd seen, but she really comes to life in this video and looks sensational.
