The sleek, white superyacht Apple founder Steve Jobs commissioned before his death cannot leave the Netherlands just yet due to a payment dispute.
Jobs collaborated on designing the 78.2-metre all-aluminum "Venus," which has a minimalist aesthetic, with French product designer Philippe Starck.
Dutch newspaper Het Financieele Dagblad reported that Starck hired a debt collection agency and got a summary legal order to keep the boat from leaving.
Port of Amsterdam spokesman Jeroen Ranzijn confirmed the boat has been in the harbour since December 8, and won't leave until the civil dispute is resolved.
"It was actually ready to continue its voyage when there was a dispute between two parties, including the heirs, and one party laid a claim on the boat," said Ranzijn.
