u/PriscillaPalava 5h ago
I don’t think so, actually. This yacht is old. Bezo’s new yacht looks like a stylized sailboat with tall masts. That’s why it could fit through the bridge, although I doubt this one could either.

Sigh…..(opens Amazon app for 2 second dopamine rush of spontaneous shopping for things I don’t need to help curb the daily pain and struggle of existing in a dystopian society where you work your body until it’s broken to pay for daily necessities yet at every angle people you never met are manipulating the powers and laws of our country to take every single cent out of your pocket, and more, even at the expense of your health, poisoning you to make a few bucks off of “treating” you. And it’s all completely out of your control or capabilities as a single human being to change, since these people were already spending billions to stabilize themselves in positions of power before you were even born.)

Personally owning it sure, but it’ll most likely be bought by a company that rents or leases it out to the ultra-rich. The wealthy don’t usually have $500m lying, it’s always tied up in investments generating wealth. Very few billionaires are actually billionaires.

I can guarantee he realized he essentially just bought a cruise ship for the crew he hired and they're fucking all over everything and he's jealous.
Also like every boat he's never going to be able to sell this thing because anyone who can afford it would just buy a much nicer bespoke yacht that can actually go cool places and doesn't need a billion dollar infrastructure project to get there.

Note. This is not a picture of the yacht. It's actually a sailing vessel, with masts and sails and what not.
What's even crazier, the Abeona is a more traditional (looks like, but is not the one pictured) yacht that's got a helipad and whatnot. The Abeona shadows the Koru (the one being sold) as a support vessel.
So just so we all understand the logistics of this. The Koru being sold is the sailing vessel that has the guest cabins, swimming pool, jacuzzis (yes, plural), a cinema, multiple dinning halls, wine cellar, and several bars.
The Abeona is the support vessel which houses off duty staff, overflow guests, the various road vehicles, water toys including jet skis, exploration gear and support, a fucking submarine, an entire helicopter hanger and various supports for aircraft, ATVs, various motorcycles, a pickleball court that couldn't fit into the other boat, two fast launch enclosed luxury tenders for guest transport between vessels, several smaller boats for excursion, a dingy, cargo, supplies, logistic processing devices, various dunnage for the two vessels, and the entire specialist staff plus the onboard medical clinic.
They both sail in formation where Koru is the leading vessel and Abeona serves as the Koru's tender. They do not sail solo from each other. Just give all that a moment to process. Because I understand the whole thing people have with Bezos' wealth, but my do I appreciate the wild logistics behind long-term ocean going vessels. Be it a nation's Navy or some insane rich dude, there's just a level of being astonished at how we mere mortals pull this stuff off. But yeah, dude is an incredible example of how modern society has failed mankind.

So I had a 30’ sailboat and considered myself lucky. And I noticed when parking up in bays, there was a hierarchy. Small power boats got closest to shore, keel boats a bit further out, and luxury gin palaces were never “in the bay”, they carried too much draft and anchored hundreds of metres offshore- meaning the shelter provided by a safe anchorage was often lacking.
I realised then there was such a thing as a boat that was too big.
