Distance traveled: 17,196nm

One of the most recognizable yachts on the water, Venus was delivered by Feadship to international acclaim in 2012. Her use of glass and boxy profile by Philippe Starck was purposefully designed to be suggestive of an Apple product in a subtle nod to her commissioning owner, co-founder and former CEO of Apple Steve Jobs. Innovative features include a false top deck that conceals the communication and television receivers from view (another signature of the tech brand) and a passarelle that, when opened, looks like the charging port of an iPhone.

Frequently spotted along Australia's Gold Coast, Venus embarked on an extensive trip across the South Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans, travelling more than 17,000 nautical miles in six months to reach the Mediterranean in time for summer. After a quick stop in Gibraltar to refuel, Venus continued to Palma, Mallorca, where she is currently stationed.
