Overview
- Multiple outlets, following Monday's Page Six report, say Jeff Bezos is quietly seeking buyers for Koru, with no confirmation from his representatives.
- Sources cited in those reports say the 417-foot sailing yacht has proved too large to manage and too recognizable for private travel.
- Koru travels with a $75 million support vessel, Abeona, and estimates put combined running costs near $30 million a year, with no clarity on whether Abeona would be included in any sale.
- The yacht’s size has restricted access to marquee ports, including a refused Monaco Grand Prix mooring, exclusion from Venice’s lagoon during wedding events, and docking limits in the Florida Everglades reported by the New York Times.
- Built by Dutch yard Oceanco, Koru features a glass-bottom pool, three jacuzzis, a helipad, and a 36-person crew for up to 18 guests, and its prow figure was explained by Lauren Sánchez as the Norse goddess Freyja.
