According to a report on the Apple news site Cult of Mac, Steve Jobs was designing his own Feadship superyacht at the time of his death. The vessel had been in development since 2009. The nugget of info. emerged in an article about Walter Isaacson’s new biography of the computer mogul. The design is said to be sleek and minimalist, naturally, with 40-foot-long glass walls and was to be built at Feadship’s facility in the Netherlands. Imagine it as the iPod of superyachts. Of course it would showcase all the latest in Apple technology.
“Sometimes, word gets out about one of our yachts,” Feadship tells Super Yacht News regarding the report. “We often build for captains of industry, royalty and other leading individuals. Understandably, our clients value their privacy greatly and consequently we never discuss our owners’ identity. We choose not to comment.” So what would Job’s yacht look like? Feadship’s Breathe concept, first unveiled at the Monaco Boat Show last year, is probably a good indication. Drawing inspiration from biomimicry, which imitates forms found in nature, it is one of the most radical Feadhsip designs to date. Of course Jobs wouldn’t settle for anything less.
