That would be the responsibility of the yacht management company that Laurene hires to take care of "those things".
She won't be hiring crew for the boat....
I'm not sure about "higher quality", but certainly more seaworthy.
Got a tip for us?

This is the Job's family's private business. Guess MR is short of news - leave the family in peace please, such gossip makes you sound like a lot of old women without a Life.

Samsung does build some pretty awesome cargo ships, though I've been on a couple military ships ( the Nimitz, and a DDG and a Sub ) as a civilian contractor, so I guess nothing impresses me
It amazes me that people don't understand basic sea keeping, basic sea keeping is so important in an ocean going vessel. At the same time, this thing is not built to be out in the vast reach's.
If you want to see terrible Sea Keeping, checking out the IOWA class battleships in a storm, its pretty funny.
Duh, it's not. Why are you even asking? Oh Rhetorical. I get it.

Gossip, MacGossip, hey I think you're on to something

Hey if you don't care about his comment about your comment why are you even bothering to comment about it...
Compare the costs of shipping it home and paying a crew to sail it back under its own power. Guarantee the shipping option is much cheaper. Not that money is really an issue to them, but why waste all the money to sail it back when the family probably does not intend to use it right away.
Apr. 160 responses over say 6-7 days, kind of show how interesting that is.
Back to products please Arn.
Almost makes one want to discuss the "imminent" Apple TV.
The best comment over here. I'd say yes but hey, this is not a Jobs family product, not Apple's. So I guess it wont be the case. I am tired of the thinner and lighter stuff!
Why Phillpe Starck
Was Jobs enticed by a Design Demi-God? But Starck didn't do a great job. The boat looks quite ugly. Therefore Starck was overpaid anyway. I believe Jon Ive would have done a better job, even during working hours. That shows Jobs was already sick from VIP hybris.

Thank you. Somebody gets it. The cost to get that behemoth from one coast to another are exorbitant. Fuel, Captain, staff, food etc. Not to mention the wear and tear. Having it shipped makes much more sense. Also, bear in mind that the transport vessel is *enormous* in size; more sea-worthy during rough wintertime seas.
Then don't buy one.

And you forgot to read.
They paid the bill, Starck is arguing that they paid based in the wrong terms. He wanted payment based off the estimated costs which were higher than the actual ones. He's the greedy one in this case.

MUST? No. There is no must in said game. But it is easier to tell them what to like than to try to please the myriad of different tastes. That is why Apple uses said tact

But there is a proper way to provide such feedback to the site that doesn't take a thread off topic. Try it next time. You are more likely to get a better response from the site and much less annoyed replies to your thread hijacking.
Most of the crew would be full-time - you don't say "I want to cruise for a few days - hire a captain and crew".
The exception might be cabin staff (maids, kitchen/dining help) that are only needed when the owner and guests are on board. (Chef and sous-chef would likely be full-time - crew has to eat.)
According to a story on the Octopus, the annual cost of running a super-yacht averages about 10% of the price of the boat. For the Venus, that would be about $30k per day.
Those caravels had access to an effectively limitless (though relatively slow) propulsion system. The Jobses' vessel is likely constrained by the size of its fuel tank.
There are two happy moments with a boat.
The day you buy it, and the day you get rid of it. Everything in the middle is a pain in the ass.
The issue isn't free or not. This is a personal matter for the Jobs family. It's an Apple rumor, its just a family issue for someone who for all intents and purposes, is no longer with Apple.
I do care about the negative affect of "apple culture" on the quality of products that are released. Its all connected in the web of causality.

you just dominated that poor fool.
Good one.
