While not the winner of the worlds ugliest yacht contest, it's certainly a contender.

Re: Steve Jobs' Yacht

Jobs was actually doing a lot of the design himself, utilizing some of the Apple Store designers. One of the original concepts looked a little more "dolphin-ish" and I think was a much better lookin' boat. Steve's minimalist tendencies jump out here. Hope she looks nice on the inside :)

Looks like a door stop.

I still like Greg Normans the best....

That thing is obscene. Besides being butt-ugly it's just another status symbol where someone who lives in an entirely different world than most of us is screaming "look at me".

No, you have to wait for version 2 of the yacht if you want the bartender option. ;-)

With all that money why would he buy a Bayliner?

LOL - yeah, but it'll know what drink you want before you show up :D

After lookin' at it a couple of times, it's got a little hint of Frank Lloyd Wright in there.

Looks remarkably like the FPB 97, but bigger, uglier and surely not as seaworthy.

Bet he gets his upgrades before us, and I bet there isn't an app for that!!!

I actually don't mind the boxy look too much except for the top of the superstructure. I'd take it if they gave it to me.

That thing is definitely disgusting. It's ugly as sin, excessive in every way and it's not "minimalist" it's "creatively lacking". What a pile.

I like the 'Great White Fleet' look of the bow, though I'm not excited about the superstructure

It may be ugly but one thing it did was supply a lot of needed jobs.

Ya, a lot of jobs . . . but in the Netherlands! Just like all the jobs that Apple creates in China where they make Apple's products.

I like Apple products, but that is the ugliest boat I've ever seen.

Meh--no rod holders--not a boat.

Looks like a ferry dropped onto a WW1 hull.
