VENUS (PHILIPPE STARCK)
Venus is a tribute to the Roman Goddess of Love. Built for the late Apple
founder, Steve Jobs, but unfortunately not ready before his death, this
Superyacht was made to meticulously measure to this technology mogul.
Ready in 2012, Venus is massively private, covered in glass, and features,
of course, a high level of technology throughout the whole yacht. The
top French interior designer Philippe Starck was the head designer
responsible for the embellishment of this project, along with Feadship,
that was responsible for its magnificent built. This 78.2 metre Superyacht
belongs to the late Apple founder’s wife, Laurene Powell Jobs. The
stunning interior design within the Venus’ spaces shares a minimalistic
design, filled with bespoke and unique pieces of furniture. The interior
fits a space that could include up to 12 guests and 22 crew members,
throughout 14 cabins, that ensure a luxury yacht experience. Feadship
company embellished the Superyacht with large cabin windows, almost
floor to ceiling, as well as the main living area. Among special features of
this impressive vessel, there are seven 27-inch iMac computers.
SEVEN SEAS (NUVOLARI & LENARD)
Steven Spielberg is a worldwide famous filmmaker, that has been
recognized for his artwork on films such as JAWS, E.T., Schindler’s
List, Jurassic Park, and many other film masterpieces. As you can see,
the filmmaker is not only known for his achievements, but also for
his impact on yachting, since he possesses one of the most coveted
Superyachts of all time, the Seven Seas. This 282.15-feet custom motor
Superyacht, was built by Oceanco in the Netherlands, and officially
launched in 2010, with an exquisite exterior and interior design by design
experts Nuvolari & Lenard. This impressive luxury Superyacht has the
capacity for 14 guests, and 26 crew members, throughout 7 cabins, in
which there is one master suite, 2 VIP rooms, 2 double and 2 twins. On
the exterior you’re able to see a magnificent infinity pool on the aft deck,
as well as the possibility to turn in into a helipad or even an entertaining
area. The interior features a contemporary theme, with walnut, teak and
rosewood balanced with natural materials, fabrics and colours. The main
salon is embellished with a professional projection system and a 5x2m
screen which will transform into a screening theatre. Besides a 250m2
main salon that’s able to host a massive party, there’s a stylist dining
area prepared for every occasion. In 2015, it was reported that Spielberg
would start building a new and great Superyacht, but it’s not clear if he
proceeded with a new construction. Instead, in 2016, Seven Seas went
through a refit at Amico and Co, an Italian shipyard.
