Venus

2012

This is Venus

Blessed with sleek and minimalist exterior lines, this ingenious motoryacht quickly became the apple of many a Feadship fan’s eye. Venus was the world’s first mastless motoryacht, with her antennae and domes hidden within a composite casing which allows the signals through. Designed by a legendarily meticulous Silicon Valley owner and designer Philippe Starck, she also featured an unparalleled amount of glass for her time with huge windows extending the length of all main deck staterooms and an all-glass pavilion deck offering divine vistas at sea.
