Steve Jobs’ buoyant tribute to technology is finally ready for the “i” seas.

Dutch shipbuilders finished constructing the Apple icon’s 260-foot yacht this month — about a year after the tech pioneer passed away from cancer.

The light aluminum vessel, named Venus, is loaded with all sorts of gadgets that would have kept Jobs in the loop while he looped the world’s oceans.

Jobs knew last year there was a chance he wouldn’t live to see the boat finalized.

“But I have to keep going on it,” he told biographer Walter Isaacson. “If I don’t, it’s an admission that I’m about to die.”

Jobs was 56 when he passed on Oct. 5, 2011, from pancreatic cancer.

Fun facts about Jobs’ yacht:

* Seven 27-inch iMacs run the ship’s bridge.

* 10-foot-tall glass windows, reminiscent of Apple retail stores.

* Jobs’ family gave shipbuilders iPod shuffles with the ship’s name inscribed on the back.
