Pliego added his boat only suffered a few large scratches, which "will cost a lot to repair."
"I would like to know what the (Venus) captain and crew were doing that they didn't see a yacht the size of mine in front of them."
In a statement to Business Insider, Emerson Collective, an organization that Powell Jobs founded and is president of, said the collision happened while both boats were anchoring off Naples, adding only the crew was onboard.

Designed by famed French architect Philippe Starck, Steve Job's Venus cost $120 million when it was built in 2012. The boat had its first voyage shortly after the Apple cofounder's death.
