Jeff Bezos’ new yacht is finally ready to set sail

Just in time for the high season of yachting in the Mediterranean, when multimillion-dollar megayachts descend on ports such as Monte Carlo and St. Tropez, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has been photographed with his partner Lauren Sanchez on his new boat, Koru, off the coast of Spain.

Bezos’ vessel is a sailing yacht, a departure from the diesel-powered, floating palaces popular with other billionaires. But it is still massive. At 417 feet, Koru is the world’s largest sailing yacht, according to Boat International, and it cost an estimated $500 million to build, Bloomberg reported. (Parsifal III, the boat featured on Bravo’s reality series “Below Deck Sailing Yacht,” is 177 feet long – less than half the length of Koru – and cost $18 million, according to the website SuperYachtFan.)
