Rumors are rife about the possible sale of American billionaire Jeff Bezos’ mega yacht. A boat of such incredible dimensions but which is far from being a gift for the founder of Amazon and his wife.
Since April 2023, Jeff Bezos has been the proud owner of one of the most impressive ships in the world: a mega yacht measuring some 127 meters long. His name? Koru. Ordered in 2021 by the 62-year-old businessman, it took entrepreneurs more than two years to get it out of the workshops. And some American media are already announcing its sale… Does the wealthy boss of Amazon intend to part with his jewel?
Jeff Bezos’ mega yacht banned from docking in some ports because of its size
Would Jeff Bezos want to sell his mega yacht for around $500 million? This oversized ship never sails without its support boat, the Abonna, which costs it approximately $75 million. Two boats that cost their owners no less than $30 million in maintenance costs each year. And even if the businessman who has more than 275 billion dollars according to Forbes is hardly bothered by this kind of expense, this real floating palace has other disadvantages… For example, it is not very mobile.
Moreover, many ports cannot accommodate it around the world. In 2025, the boat was, for example, refused mooring in Monaco on the sidelines of the Grand Prix due to its too large size. It was also impossible for the billionaire and his new wife, television presenter Lauren Sanchez, to approach the bay of Venice during their wedding last summer. Finally, in 2023, the New York Times had previously reported that Koru was unable to land near the Everglades in Florida. But, regardless, Jeff Bezos’ teams recently silenced the rumors: according to Peoplethe father of three children does not sell his yacht and denies the information from Page Six.
How much does Koru, Jeff Bezos’ luxury mega yacht, cost?
It must be said that this three-masted sailboat, 127 meters long (one of the largest in the world), is symbolic for the man worth 250 billion. His name, Korumeans loop in Maori and therefore symbolizes a new beginning. It is also on this yacht that Jeff Bezos proposed to his current wife in 2023. He is not the only businessman to own such a jewel since Bernard Arnault can also boast of being the future owner of an impressive yacht.
Nothing is too good for Jeff Bezos, whose main ship has a glass-bottom swimming pool, three jacuzzis, a helipad and even a wooden sculpture, representing Freyja, the Norse goddess of love, fertility, war and gold, at the front of the boat. According to the American media Page Sixthe yacht is also equipped with several water cannons, to keep the paparazzi at bay. It can accommodate up to 18 passengers, and has some 36 crew members.
And if you too dream of sailing on the waters aboard a luxury boat, you can make it simpler and “cheaper” by boarding the Orient Express boat for a luxury cruise at a (slightly) more accessible price…
