Ghost G180F is a stylish and innovative 55­ metre high performance yacht, which was developed by Ghost Yachts and leading Dutch yacht builder Feadship.

By offering a high performance yacht with a focus to set standards, Ghost G180F was designed to combine high efficiency with a thrilling sports­yacht performance and compliant with class requirements for yachts under 500 Gross Tonnes.

The innovative lightweight semi­-displacement hull, designed by De Voogt Naval Architects, provides a top speed of 29 knots top speed and a generous cruising range of 4000nm.

Francis Gumbs of De Voogt Naval Architects was quoted, “We transformed Ghost Yachts’ objectives into a low weight, efficient hull with optimal propulsion layout. This results in performance normally only achieved on Superyachts with
significantly larger engine installations.’

Gumbs continues, “The clear lines of the styling are mixed with a rich variety of materials like semiprecious gemstone, liquid metal panelling and aluminium panels which reflect the yacht’s core material.”

Steve Jobs luxury yacht - Venus
Steve Jobs luxury yacht – Venus

It’s hard to believe it’s already been over a year that Apple’s Steve Jobs passed away, his ultra-luxury yacht is now ready to launch.

After years of secretive designing by Steve Jobs and French designer Phillipe Stack, Feadship shipbuilders in Aalsmeer, Holland have unveiled the sleek looking “Venus.”

Measuring over 70 meters in length and resembling a giant Apple iPhone 4, Venus is a luxury yacht that was built completely out of aluminum. The lighter yacht weight will allow for faster speeds on the open waters and better fuel efficiency.

There is a large sun deck that includes a built in jacuzzi. The ship’s all “floor to ceiling” glass cabin comes is equipped a bridge that features seven 27-inch Apple iMacs to provide the luxury yacht’s navigation and controls.

The impressive ship’s main living area was designed with stunning walls of glass, measuring forty feet long by ten feet high.

During the luxury boat’s christening party, Jobs family members joined the custom yacht builders to celebrate this luxurious vessel. Each member of Feadship shipbuilder team received an Apple iPod Shuffle with the boat’s name “Venus” engraved on the back.
