Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon, has reportedly taken delivery of his new 417-foot sailing yacht Koru after she recently completed her initial sea trials. The superyacht was constructed by Oceanco and has now completed her first maiden voyage, sailing from the Netherlands to Gibraltar after finishing sea trials in the North Sea in February 2023. Currently, the vessel is docked in an anchorage in the bay of Palma on the Balearic island of Mallorca. Koru is a remarkable sailing yacht with a steel hull, aluminum superstructure, and three towering masts measuring over 230 feet, making it the tallest sailing yacht in the world. This surpasses the 357-foot Cox & Stevens sailing vessel, Sea Cloud, built in Germany in 1931, which is still used today as a luxury charter yacht and cruise ship. Koru also eclipsed Black Pearl in overall length, pushing it from third place to fourth place on the list of the world’s largest sailing yachts.
The yacht's name, Koru, which means "new beginnings" in Maori, is fitting as it features a glossy black hull, white superstructure, a capacious pool located on the aft deck, and several plush outdoor lounges for guests to relax in. The yacht is not only one of the most expensive private boats ever built and purchased, but also one of the largest private yachts on the planet and the biggest ever to be built in The Netherlands. The price of the yacht is a staggering $485 million, which is a significant amount even for Mr. Bezos, who is known for his enormous wealth. Footage shot by Guy Fleury.

Love it. Really like that its a sailor and can go with the wind. Must be quite the time crossing the earth like the old time sailors

@erikbouma9408 Місяць тому

It seems far too expensive but I have to say this is one of prettiest yachts I’ve ever seen. The classic look is just much more aesthetic than most modern ships.

It's really beautiful when the sales are up. That's a half B of just ocean going beauty.

500 Million dollars? You could buy bigger and better yachts for that much money.

Seems to me that a sailboat of the size loses some of the joy of sailing a boat oneself.

@maple-leafs13 8 місяців тому

Its mostly a dick measuring contest. The cost to maintain that is a headache not just money wise but the amount of parts that often fail. Not to mention it can't reach most destinations due to its size.

Sailing a boat could not be any more difficult than understanding what you are trying to say.

@robertw.1499 Рік тому

Your statement is wrong about this being the second biggest sailing yacht. As you say, Sailing Yacht A is the biggest sail-assisted yacht. The Bezos yacht is the biggest pure sailing yacht.

@yachtworld Рік тому

Thanks Robert - yes that is correct. Some may refer both as sailboats, although as you point out, one is a pure sailing yacht, while the other is not. We do in fact recognize Sailing Yacht A as a "sail assisted" vessel. See our article for the full round up...

Humanity has a responsibility to future generations to control sociopaths from their overconsumption and disregard for others. I see nothing but a man trying to fill a void in his life, more to the point in his pants.

What has he contributed to aid in the Key Bridge clean up and rebuilding? No doubt he's one of the biggest beneficiaries of its maritime activity.

This was money very Well spent😎

@skinnybuddhaboy 6 місяців тому

You think half a billion (500 Million) dollars on a sailboat that (from the outside) barely looks any different to some 30-40 year old sail yachts that sell for as little as $200,000 is 'money very well spent'?

@johntechwriter 5 місяців тому

@@skinnybuddhaboy Jeff didn't pay for it. Independent booksellers footed the bill, and in the process lost their businesses and many their homes. Maybe Jeff will offer the occasional free cruise to a half-dozen or so of these newly impoverished Americans via some kind of lottery. It's the least he could do.

500 million!!!??? 😂😂 I bought a yacht for 7 million in gta online that looks better than that

@moviesgalore9947 7 місяців тому

Not anywhere near 400 feet long why do they Lie about the length do they measure both sides of the boat then add that up to get 400 feet? It's at most 300 feet long on each side.

You can be sure Jeff Bezos works very hard. And very smart, too. He is a visionary -- he single-handedly changed retail in America. It is debatable whether Amazon's model is best for the country. But he made his fortune the way P.T. Barnum recommended: "Give the people what they want."

Propaganda? I'm very well off and I drive a Honda Fit. I don't know what kind of car his daily driver is, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it's just a nice comfortable/dependable car like a Camry or Accord. Keep in mind that he doesn't have to impress anyone, in fact a car that just blends in would be very desirable for someone in his position.
