Bluessed is a ship to be launch between Q3 2013 and Q1 2014 anchored half an hour (12 miles) from Silicon Valley, in international waters outside the jurisdiction of the United States. It's meant for 'The boldest, brightest, and most talented tech entrepreneurs from around the world. Plus the individuals and organizations that support and invest in them.'

It sound like another pipe dream, however, many high tech companies in the U.S. indeed have problems recruiting from aboard due to visa restrictions.

From what I understand, the ocean can get fairly nasty in that area during the winter (and other times of the year for that matter). Not sure how much work these people will be doing when the weather turns.

As posted, the ocean off San Francisco can be really nasty-especially in the winter months. I was on a flight from LAX to SFO a few years ago and had to circle for 1/2 an hour due to weather delays at the airport. We circled low off Tiburon (just north of the Golden gate) and the high seas were incredible.

Ok so the ship is outside US waters. How are people are supposed to get there? No airport out there. If they fly to California wouldent they need a visa to enter the country?

It looks like they would be able to arrive thru the US via travel visa. This is to work around the worker visa, which is more difficult to obtain.
