Jeff Bezos’
enormous Koru yacht has finally arrived in the US
The biggest sailing yacht in the world, Koru, owned
by centibillionaire Jeff Bezos has completed its
Mediterranean sojourn and has finally come to the
United States. The 416-foot luxury schooner is
currently in South Florida, docked at Port
Everglades. The largest space at the port caters to superyachts up
to 400 feet. So massive is this $500 million
megayacht of the Amazon boss that it doesn’t fit
even in there. Koru is docked near a 610-foot-long
oil tanker, Independence, and a similarly-sized
tanker by the name of Seakay Sky.
We are building a model of the Koru. Click

built. 1963 is the founding year of Lamborghini, and

Lamborghini Sian FKP 37, the yachtmaker incorporated
hexagonal shapes and sharp corners in the design of
the boat. The yacht is powered by twin MAN V12
engines that make total 4,000 HP, propelling the
yacht to a top speed of 63 knots (72 mph or 117
km/h).
