I would have thunk that the workers would have gotten at the _least_ an iPod Touch each rather than a shuffle...

That's it exactly: A Le Corbusier barge with a Frank Lloyd Wright pavilion on top.

very nice, how much? *borat voice*

I can't wait to see what Samsung builds......and gets sued for.....

Shrink · Oct 28, 2012, 10:11 AM

Currently there are nine lawsuits in process by other yachts named "Venus".

SeattleMoose · Oct 28, 2012, 10:11 AM

This yacht could NOT have been designed by Steve Jobs. It is not thin enough and there are too many I/O ports!! I dare say that this is the yacht of the evil Google emperor trying yet again to imitate SJ......

No doubt the widow jobs will sell it ASAP.

I wonder if they will be able to replace the battery or will they have to build another yacht.

Dagless · Oct 28, 2012, 10:15 AM

Oh my word that thing is horrible.

CapnJackGig · Oct 28, 2012, 10:16 AM

Wow, talk about overcompensating.

Subtle, modest, understated little dinghy...

For people who think this is ugly, take a look at what most super-rich-people yachts look like:

e: Ugh, the Maltese Falcon is the only non-generic one, and it's even worse than the rest.

Why would a the most important structure of a boat ( aluminum-hulled) be built out of aluminum, and not steel?

Medic311 · Oct 28, 2012, 10:21 AM

i know retro is "in" now...but sheesh.

the 1970's called, they want their yacht back

if i spent the money to build a yacht and this is what was produced, i would be appalled

I did, and he wasn't any different than anyone else I've met who is responsible for running a large business.

I have to say. It reminds me of an Apple Store on water, not trying to be funny, and for some reason it also strikes me as lonely. Not sure how to verbalize it but even in the video from onemorething it just seems...... more than cold, somber, and no it's not just the music.

They gave him an iPod shuffle to show their gratitude...?

28Gauge · Oct 28, 2012, 10:27 AM

Interesting design, but not quite my taste. It should have been named the iYacht.

GenesisST · Oct 28, 2012, 10:28 AM

If they went with Form over Function too much, it will be a nice place to visit while scuba diving!

Samsung actually already makes ships. Large cargo ships though.

jmpnop · Oct 28, 2012, 10:29 AM

I'm sure Samsung's is not as cool as this yacht
