en.Wedoany.com Reported - Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is considering selling his super sailing yacht "Koru," just a few years after its delivery. "Page Six," a celebrity news site under the New York Post, citing sources familiar with the matter, reported that Bezos wants to sell the vessel because it is "simply too big to manage."

"Koru" measures 126 meters in length, was built by the Dutch shipyard Oceanco, and is one of the largest registered sailing yachts in the world, with a construction cost of approximately $500 million. Its name is taken from the Māori language, meaning spiral or loop, symbolizing new life and new beginnings. However, it is precisely this high recognizability that makes Bezos uneasy, especially the wooden figurehead at the bow—sculpted in the likeness of a Norse goddess, which also happens to closely resemble his wife, Lauren Sanchez—making it nearly impossible for the yacht to travel discreetly.

Its enormous size brings ongoing maintenance and docking burdens. The annual upkeep costs for the vessel alone are estimated to reach tens of millions of dollars, along with its 75-meter support vessel, "Abeona." Built by Damen Shipyards, this auxiliary ship can carry a helicopter, tenders, and 37 crew members, requiring dozens of personnel for precise coordination between the two vessels. In 2023, it was unable to dock in the private yacht area of Port Everglades in Florida due to its size and had to anchor alongside commercial cargo ships; during the Monaco Grand Prix, it was also denied entry due to berth limitations; when the Bezoses held their wedding in Venice in 2025, the ship was also unable to approach the city's main port and was moored far out beyond the lagoon. Even the delivery was fraught with complications, as rumors that the shipyard needed to temporarily dismantle a historic bridge to allow its passage sparked public protests with people throwing eggs, ultimately forcing the vessel to quietly change course and depart late at night.
