Koru (yacht)

Koru is a luxury custom superyacht owned by Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon. The vessel was built in the Netherlands by Oceanco starting in 2021, and delivered in April 2023. It is a three-masted sailing yacht 127 meter long and reported to have cost $500 million or more. When commissioned, the yacht was the second-largest sailing yacht in the world, after Andrey Melnichenko's Sailing Yacht A.

Koru and De Hef
In 2022, Rotterdam announced that the city's historic De Hef bridge would be temporarily partially dismantled to allow the yacht to pass through. This move was controversial because the bridge is a Dutch national monument owing to its history. Eventually the dismantling plan of the 'De Hef' bridge proved to be unnecessary. The masts were stepped when the vessel was moored downstream of the bridge in the Rotterdam Harbour.

Support vessel
A 75 m 1,900 Gross ton yacht support vessel, the Abeona, will "shadow" Koru, providing additional crew accommodation, a helipad with enclosed helicopter accommodation, and capacity for relief supplies.
