Steve Jobs' former yacht Venus appears to have collided with another superyacht off the coast of Naples

• Venus, the yacht built by Steve Jobs, appears to have collided with another yacht off Italy's coast.
• It is unclear which yacht struck which or when exactly the crash occurred.

Steve Jobs' former superyacht — now owned by his wife, philanthropist and investor Laurene Powell Jobs — has reportedly collided with another superyacht off of the Italian coast.

According to social media posts picked up by industry outlets, Venus, the 78-meter yacht commissioned by Jobs, collided with Lady Moura, a 105-meter yacht, off the coast of Naples, Italy. Videos posted on social media show the strikingly minimalist Venus and the Lady Moura coming into contact.

Venus is currently cruising in the Ligurian Sea, while Lady Moura made its way to Mykonos on Wednesday, based on publicly available tracking data from Marine Traffic. The exact time or date of the apparent collision is not known.

It is not clear which superyacht struck which, though someone who says they were aboard the Lady Moura seemed to blame Venus' crew on social media, SuperYacht Times reported. The person said the damage was "only a scratch, albeit a significant one that will be costly to repair." Others on social media claimed the Venus was moored and that it seemed Lady Moura swung into the boat. BI hasn't been able to independently verify either claim.

The Italian Marina Militare did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. A representative for Powell Jobs also didn't immediately respond, and the owner of the Lady Moura couldn't be reached.

No matter how little damage might have been done, insurance will likely cover it. Yacht insurance, which can cost six figures each month, is one of the largest costs incurred by yacht owners.

Venus, built by top yacht-builder Feadship, was delivered after Jobs died in 2011 and was worth $130 million upon completion. The Apple cofounder was heavily involved in the design process alongside French architect and decorator Philippe Starck.

"Venus comes from the philosophy of minimum," Starck said of her design. "The elegance of the minimum, approaching dematerialization."

Jobs and Starck spent four years working on her design, the designer told Vanity Fair, holding monthly meetings to discuss her specifications. She has six identical cabins, was built to maximize absolute silence, and, upon delivery, included the most up-to-date technology.

"There will never again be a boat of that quality again. Because never again will two madmen come together to accomplish such a task," Starck told the magazine. "It was not a yacht that Steve and I were constructing, we were embarked on a philosophical action, implemented according to a quasi-religious process. We formed a single brain with four lobes."
