Starck has been creating 2 or 3 nice stuff and made his reputation.

since then, he has done of lot of c*ap and everybody is adulating him because of his past reputation

I hope the crew can't access Facebook or Twitter from those iMacs while they are sailing:

"Big icy things coming this way, LOL..."

Yes. Very good ones actually.

This ship obviously sacrificed some aesthetics in order to maximize deck space.. I think it's an interesting design but wouldn't be my first choice (if I was a billionaire).

If you stand back a bit and look at the lower, mid, and upper deck structure from midship back there is something. To me it is a very "Zen Like" design. The aft structures do have a Buddhist Temple type appearance to their shape and sizing. It is a very minimalistic design. Very much like Steve's House. And, there is no way Steve would build a boat that does not haul ass. In time the details will come out. This baby will go.

Aluminium? So the Yacht is actually a unibody iYacht?

mlmathews · Oct 28, 2012, 10:35 AM

Looks like a floating Apple Store.

Hmmm... I think Samsung has a case here... looks like a copy to me.

Looks like a barge designed by Mies van der Rohe. The iMacs look pretty stoopid in a wheelhouse

Edsel · Oct 28, 2012, 10:40 AM

It's a very cold and vacant looking vessel. No warmth, no soul.

He demanded the best out of people - and people tend to be lazy and produce shoddy, sub-standard work when their nose isn't pressed to the grindstone.

Steve was good at grinding noses, so to speak.

Way bigger than my house.

Man is that thing FUGLY. It looks boxy instead of sleek.

And the idea that three people will consume such ostentatious wealth, merely for their luxury entertainment, is sickening.

Rocketman · Oct 28, 2012, 10:57 AM

It's not a roundrec! The video has been removed by the user. I would like to see a video of the christening ceremony and a couple images of other parts of the ship, but most importantly, one of it at sea.

Very misleading without a view from the front. I'm guessing it's only 4 feet thin. It'll tip over!

macses · Oct 28, 2012, 11:00 AM

I think it looks nice.
But this is still my number one favorite. Wally 118

Nice yacht with new iMacs. Unfortunately Steve did not get to enjoy it before he passed out

They will simply travel to the iYacht store and the friendly Genius will be happy to do it for you - for a fee.

It is sleek and well-proportioned, and seems to have a lot of usable space.

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

I'm not sure why you think something like this is ugly.

It looks sleek and well-proportioned, with lots of usable space. And a helipad too!

NumberNine · Oct 28, 2012, 11:13 AM

The glare off those iMacs should be a help to the captain and his crew.

Cheers to all the suckers who camped out in line to help pay for that.

'Cause bigger = better according to Samsung.

w0by · Oct 28, 2012, 11:15 AM

it's a submarine...it's a whale...it's a boat...no...it's a floating apple store!

turtlez · Oct 28, 2012, 11:15 AM

the front looks terrible lol

dampfnudel · Oct 28, 2012, 11:20 AM

I just came up with a interesting idea for a unique Apple store idea. A floating Apple Store that could go to areas of the world (that are relatively safe) that don't have a Apple store in the country/region. Of course, you would need a small army to protect such valuable stock.
