Venus
Venus is the christened name of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs' yacht, after the Roman goddess of love, beauty, sex, fertility, prosperity and victory. Built entirely out of aluminum, the yacht was designed by Jobs personally along with the French minimalist designer Phillipe Stack. The massive yacht measures roughly 80 meters, but is lighter than a typical boat of its size due to the aluminium construction. Shaped almost like an iPhone 4, the front of the boat is equipped with a uniquely large sun deck with a built-in jacuzzi. 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.
Steve Jobs' yacht was unveiled as his famed "one more thing" in Aalsmeer, Holland on October 28, 2012, just over one year after Steve Jobs' death.
