Jeff Bezos’ 417-Foot Yacht Drops Anchor in South Florida amid Move to Miami

The Amazon founder announced his move earlier this month

Jeff Bezos has brought his 417-foot-long yacht to Florida!

The Amazon founder's $500-million dollar vessel named Koru dropped anchor in Port Everglades, reports WPLG . Its massive size made it have to be parked next to an oil tanker and alongside other large cargo carriers, per Gizmodo .

Koru is the largest sailing yacht in the world and features a trio of masts and several decks, according to Boat International .

It was first spotted at sea earlier this year . Its arrival on the southeastern coast comes nearly a month after the entrepreneur, 59, announced that he was relocating to Miami from Seattle. Bezos announced his move in an Instagram post published on Nov. 2.

"I've lived in Seattle longer than I've lived anywhere else and have so many amazing memories here. As exciting as the move is, it's an emotional decision for me. Seattle, you will always have a piece of my heart," he shared in the caption.

The post included a clip of Bezos giving a tour of Amazon's first office, which was filmed by his father. He wrote in the post that his parents, along with his fiancée Lauren Sánchez , inspired his move.

"My parents [ Miguel and Jacklyn ] have always been my biggest supporters," Bezos wrote. "They recently moved back to Miami, the place we lived when I was younger (Miami Palmetto High class of '82 — GO Panthers!) I want to be close to my parents, and Lauren and I love Miami."

Bezos and Sánchez, 53, took their relationship public in January 2019. PEOPLE confirmed that the two are engaged in May. The news came after the two were seen traveling on the yacht during a romantic European getaway .

Apart from having a wooden sculpture resembling Sánchez , the boat became the couple's preferred method of transportation during their summer travels, including stops in Saint-Tropez and multiple parts of Italy . The yacht was also the location of the couple's engagement party in August.

Jeff Bezos’ New Yacht Is Finally Ready to Set Sail

Amazon’s founder has been spotted on Koru, a massive schooner with a design that evokes the golden age of sailing in the early 20th century.

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

Mr. 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.)

A spokesperson for Mr. Bezos did not comment for this article; neither did Oceanco, Koru’s builder. Here is what to know about the boat.

For traditionalists, Koru is refreshing. At a time when yacht design skews outrageous — see the lizardlike, 262-foot Artefact or the otherworldly 463-foot Yas — Koru stands out as a schooner, a sailing vessel with two or more masts. Photos reveal a large sailboat with three masts, an on-deck pool and a voluptuous mermaid on the bow, that bears a resemblance to Ms. Sánchez. But otherwise, the sleek, classic lines suggest the patrician age of yachting in the early 20th century, said Robert B. MacKay, author of “The Golden Age of Newport Yachting: Between the Wars.”

“With the clipper bow and the dark hull and the masts,” Mr. MacKay said, referring to Koru’s concave, pointy forward section, “it reminds me of a boat built in 1930 for J.P. Morgan Jr., Corsair IV. It is almost like a reincarnation. It’s certainly at odds with the stuff the oligarchs are building — those look like bloated Clorox bottles.”

Compared with the world’s very largest motor yachts — built for sheer size and the accompanying bragging rights — Koru could almost be considered quaint. Azzam, one of the world’s largest motor yachts, is nearly 200 feet longer.

The Experience

Koru will be propelled primarily by the wind. “Sailboats are usually greener than most powerboats,” said Don Anderson, a former captain of M5 , the world’s largest single-masted sailboat, at 256 feet. “I’d like to think that Koru will be one of the most ecological yachts out there, with its sails and also with the technology that will be aboard.”

“When you’re on a sailboat, you’re more in touch with the wind and the waves than on a powerboat,” he continued. “You’re more susceptible to the elements, too. But you can leave California, and once you get past the Catalinas you can basically surf downwind all the way to Hawaii. All you need to do is run with the waves.”

Mr. Bezos has been a guest on similar boats, according to Bloomberg: In 2019, he was spotted on Eos , a 305-foot sailing yacht owned by Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg.

Bill Tripp, a Connecticut-based naval architect, said the appeal of this type of boat is clear: “When you are on a powerboat, you ask, ‘Are we there yet?’ and on a sailboat, you’re enjoying the ride and the ocean so much that you don’t ask that question.”

Koru will be trailed by Abeona, a 246-foot support vessel. Superyachts often have support vessels following along behind them. These “shadows,” as they are colloquially known, are for the “toys” — the ATVs, supercars, seaplanes, motorcycles, smaller boats, scuba gear, personal submarines and even helicopters that pleasure boaters might bring on a trip. According to its builder, this model of boat can carry these gadgets along with dozens of crew members. (Ms. Sanchez flies helicopters, and the couple was recently photographed taking a helicopter to board Abeona and then Koru.)

Abeona, a motor yacht, will have enough range to follow Koru from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean — a common course for yachts — on a single tank of gas.

The Kerfuffle

Koru set off a controversy last year — before it was even completed — in a face-off with the Dutch city of Rotterdam. The boat was built at Oceanco’s facility in Alblasserdam, the Netherlands, and needed to pass the historic Koningshaven Bridge, known as “De Hef,” in Rotterdam, to undergo testing in the North Sea.

When the city announced it would dismantle the bridge to allow the boat and its mainmast — an estimated 230 feet tall — to pass through unscathed, locals were angry. They planned a protest to throw eggs at the yacht as it cruised by. In the end, the bridge was not taken apart, and the yacht was towed to a different location to have its masts attached.

Koru is Maori for “coil” or “loop” and refers to the unfurling of a fern frond. The koru design is common in traditional Maori art, where it symbolizes new life, growth and peace. Mr. Bezos included a photo of a koru frond in an Instagram post on Jan. 1, 2022.

Brad Stone, who was the first to report on Koru, in his 2021 book “Amazon Unbound: Jeff Bezos and the Invention of a Global Empire,” said the name was “consistent with where we see him today.”

“He is no longer this single-minded tech guy,” Mr. Stone said. “He’s in media and Hollywood and has a new relationship.”

Jeff Bezos’ superyacht is in Florida. It’s so big it has to anchor at a seaport.

Madeleine Marr Miami Herald (TNS)

South Florida, meet The Koru.

That’s the name of Jeff Bezos’ colossal yacht that just dropped anchor in Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale. The word means “new beginnings” in Maori, the language spoken by indigenous Polynesians of mainland New Zealand, where the Amazon founder’s private jet was spotted in 2020.

How ginormous is this triple-masted behemoth? Roughly 400 feet long and 250 feet tall, it’s the size of a cruise ship. That ginormous.

The luxury schooner is so big it can’t even hang with other leisure ships; she reportedly is parked near two oil tankers. It has two pools, a hot tub, multiple lounges, dining areas and bars, and perhaps the pièce de résistance, a wooden figurehead on the prow rumored to be modeled after Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sanchez .

The 59-year-old billionaire shelled out about $500M for his snazzy new toy, which was built just for him in the Netherlands by Oceanco, the company that also constructed Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ superyacht, the Bravo Eugenia .

Get used to seeing The Koru around, especially if you set sail on a vacation. Bezos, a Palmetto High alum, lives back here full time now, after spending three decades in Seattle, busy reinventing the way the world shops.

WEATHER ALERT

Jeff bezos’ yacht drops anchor at port everglades.

Veronica Crespo , Digital Journalist

PORT EVERGLADES, Fla. – The behemoth boat owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has dropped anchor in South Florida.

The half-billion-dollar vessel named Koru has arrived at Port Everglades.

The 417-foot boat is the world’s largest sailing yacht.

Bezos recently revealed he is relocating to Miami after nearly three decades in Seattle.

According to an Instagram post, Bezos, 59, said he wants to be close to his parents who recently moved back to Miami.

He also says the move makes sense because of Blue Origin’s operations in Cape Canaveral. NASA recently granted to rocket company a $3.4 billion contract to lead a team to develop a lunar lander named Blue Moon. It will be used to transport astronauts to the lunar surface as early as 2029.

Earlier this summer, Bezos purchased a home in Indian Creek Village in August . The exclusive area in Miami is known as “Billionaire Bunker” where he will be neighbors with celebrities including Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner.

Bezos paid $68 million for the three-bedroom, waterfront home, which sits on 2.8 acres (1.1 hectares), Fortune magazine and Bloomberg reported.

The Amazon founder stepped down as CEO in 2021 to devote more time to philanthropy and other projects .

Bezos graduated from Palmetto Senior High in 1982.

Inside Jeff Bezos’ 417ft superyacht Koru that billionaire is forced to dock in a seaport because of its extreme size

JEFF Bezos' massive superyacht has barely squeezed into a busy US port after it couldn't fit in a private dock.

The 417-foot-tall Koru is finally nestled between commercial cruise ships and oil tankers in Florida after five years of construction and testing came to an end.

Jeff Bezos' superyacht Koru has barely squeezed into a Florida port due to its massive size

The tallest ship in the world struggled to anchor in Fort Lauderdale, just 30 minutes north of Miami, after a two-week journey from Gibraltar, Spain , the Daily Mail reports.

Koru, which cost more than $500 million, was pictured last week at Port Everglades floating between massive oil tankers and the Liberty of the Seas cruise ship.

Bezos will reportedly bankroll a $16,500 per week stay at the port, which is a flash in the pan compared to the estimated $25 million in annual costs Koru will rack up.

A full staff is required to sail and care for the superyacht which has three masts that stand up to 230 feet tall.

It also comes with the support vessel Abeona - a 264-foot garage holding Bezos' luxury cars, private helicopter, and jet skis - which is parked four miles away in Dania Beach.

The third-richest man in the world, Bezos should have no problem funding the massive purchase with his estimated $170 billion in wealth.

The name Koru means "new beginnings" in Maori - a language native to an adventuring Polynesian people group of the same name.

The tycoon's boat docked after a series of sea trials to make sure it was ready for the Amazon owner.

It was built in the Netherlands by luxury custom Yacht builder Oceanco which had more than enough experience to handle the job.

But this didn't mean there weren't headaches along the way.

The luxury boat is so big that the historic Koningshaven bridge at Rotterdam harbor was planned to be dismantled to get it out.

Despite its goliath appearance, Koru is a modern-day architectural masterpiece, inspired by the fictional boat The Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean.

It has three decks including one with a swimming pool, and is twice the length of the second largest sailing ship, Sailing Yacht A.

Painted a deep midnight blue, Koru boasts gold accents with a polished wooden figurehead on the front.

The interiors are reported to be inspired by Eos, which is a 305ft yacht that belongs to his close friend, Barry Diller, who is the founder and former CEO of Fox.

Its creation sparked controversy with Dutch citizens who pelted the boat with eggs to try and spoil the maiden voyage.

Despite the wind-powered sailing, it's estimated the massive Koru will generate 7,154 tons of carbon emission each year powering luxurious amenities like heating, AC, pool, and sauna.

Koru will join a fleet of superyachts, helicopters and planes already owned by the American entrepreneur and his millionaire fiance, Lauren Sanchez.

The couple announced this month they would be leaving Seattle and returning to Bezos' home in Miami.

He had lived in the city where Amazon is headquartered for 29 years.

Jeff Bezos is moving to Miami. Step inside 'Billionaire Bunker,' the exclusive neighborhood where he owns 2 mansions.

Jeff Bezos is leaving Seattle after 29 years and moving to Miami.
Bezos bought a $79 million mansion in Miami's Indian Creek island earlier this year.
I got a tour of the enclave known as "Billionaire Bunker" and saw why it attracts so many celebrities.

Jeff Bezos, who has called Seattle home for 29 years, is officially moving to Miami.

Bezos made the announcement on Instagram on Thursday evening.

"I want to be close to my parents, and Lauren and I love Miami," Bezos wrote of his and his fiancé Lauren Sanchez's decision to make the move. "Also, Blue Origin's operations are increasingly shifting to Cape Canaveral. For all that, I'm planning to return to Miami, leaving the Pacific Northwest."

Bezos' upcoming move puts him in good company: Many business moguls and wealthy people have moved to the sunshine state in recent years. Of course, Bezos is no mere wealthy individual: With a $160 billion net worth , the Amazon founder is currently the second-richest person in the world.

Bezos' announcement comes after he made two big real-estate purchases in Miami's Indian Creek neighborhood, which is informally known as "Billionaire Bunker."

In October, Bezos bought a $79 million mansion in the neighborhood. The home neighbors another property he bought over the summer for $68 million.

High-profile figures like Ivanka Trump and Tom Brady also have homes in the highly secure barrier island.

In December 2022, I got a tour of the neighborhood and quickly learned why celebrities are drawn to its high levels of privacy and security.

Source: Zillow , Insider

To enter the island, your need to be a resident or have your name put on a verified visitor's list. At the gate, security scanned my Uber driver's license before letting us through.

The island's one entrance is heavily guarded, with the Indian Creek Village Police headquarters immediately to the left.

My Uber driver dropped me off on the other side of the bridge. While waiting for Dina Goldentayer, the realtor who would be giving me a tour, a policeman stopped to ask who I was waiting for.

As I wandered around, the only other people I saw on the streets were construction workers. Several homes, including a mansion Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner purchased last year for $24 million, were under construction.

Source: New York Post

Tom Brady paid $17 million for a home that's in the process of being demolished in order to build an "eco-mansion," Page Six first reported.

Source: Insider

A total of 41 property lots are wrapped around the Indian Creek Golf Club at the center of the 300-acre island. The layout ensures that ever home has water views.

Despite only having a few dozen homes, Miami's Indian Creek Village has its own mayor and local government.

Source: Florida State Government

That's because the Florida legislature incorporated Indian Creek in 1939 under a now-defunct law that allowed 25 or more neighbors to form a town.

As a result, the town also has its own police force. About 15 police officers secure the island by land and sea, according to the Indian Creek Village police directory.

Source: Indian Creek Village Police Directory

I was told there had been discussion of implementing a laser beam security system around the island to prevent any water-bound intruders.

After meeting up with Goldentayer, we drove around the neighborhood. It was eerily quiet.

Indian Creek's median listing price in September was $49.5 million, according to a Rocket Homes housing market report.

Source: Rocket Homes

One of the more surprising details I learned during the tour was that purchasing property in Indian Creek does not guarantee admittance into the neighborhood's ultra-exclusive golf club.

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were told by local residents they "need not apply" to the club after buying their $30 million Indian Creek home, Page Six reported.

Source: Page Six

In the early 2000s, the country club was accused of discriminating against Black and Jewish residents, local outlets reported. The club denies the allegations.

Source: Orlando Sentinel (2000), Wall Street Journal

Beyond the club and the private homes, not much else is on the island. Indian Creek Island Road is the neighborhood's single street — and it's a dead end.

"There's no action here," Goldentayer joked during the tour. "But you're 10 minutes from the action."

Most of the homes had private docks. But unlike other high-end Miami neighborhoods, there's no direct beach access.

Some residents own or rent additional properties on Miami's mainland, Goldentayer said, like Ivanka and Jared's $18.8 million rental condo in nearby Surfside.

Other notable residents on the island have included Wall Street tycoon Carl Icahn, supermodel Adriana Lima, and singer Julio Iglesias.

Privacy was obviously top-of-mind for the millionaire and billionaire residents. Some mansions were especially well-hidden from the street.

November 3, 2023: This story has been updated with news of Jeff Bezos' move to Miami.

Combined with the over-the-top security measures, this "quintessential privacy" is what makes high-profile names so attracted to the community, Goldentayer said.

Jeff Bezos' Superyacht 'Koru' Arrives in U.S.

The superyacht Koru , a gargantuan technological and nautical achievement courtesy of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos , has sailed into the U.S.

The epic sailing yacht is 417-feet long (127 m) and features three carbon fiber masts that are a staggering 230 feet (70 m) high.

The ship has been under intense scrutiny since its inception, both because of its famous owner, but also because of its size and engineering capability. Koru is so large, in fact, that its builder Oceanco had to sneak the ship out of Rotterdam at night, without its masts attached, in order to both avoid media attention and fit it under the famous Koningshaven Bridge. The bridge, an invaluable WWII landmark known as 'De Hef,' was set to be dismantled to allow Koru to pass through (with its masts attached) before a public outcry derailed the original plans.

After Bezos finally took delivery of the $500 million megayacht in April, it has remained hidden in the Mediterranean. It was last spotted a few weeks ago off the coast of Gibraltar before seemingly making its way across the Atlantic. On Tuesday, Koru arrived at port in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, marking the first time the boat has been stateside and the first time the public has seen her up close.

Due to her size, the boat is being kept alongside cruise ships and tankers at the commercial sea port rather than among the private superyachts that typically dot the Florida coastline. For the time being, it's resting alongside the Liberty of the Seas cruise ship -- one of the few vessels that can make Koru look small with its own 1112-foot length.

Not only does Koru carry a massive 417-foot hull length, it also has a whopping 56-foot (17 m) beam and a 14-foot (4.2 m) draught, making it extremely unlikely to ever access a non-commercial sea port.

The other shocking detail surrounding Koru is the magnitude of her 'support vessel,' the Abeona . Both vessels travel together, with the Abeona serving as the complementary vessel for crew accommodations and for transporting Bezos' various water toys. Abeona is 246-feet (75 m) long and is currently docked a few miles away in nearby Dania Beach.

Bezos and his fiancé Lauren Sanchez have been spotted cruising the Mediterranean in recent months, although understandably they've been trying to avoid detection by switching off the AIS tracker on Koru . With no AIS signal, the vessel can avoid having its GPS coordinates broadcast publicly.

Residents of Florida may start seeing Koru more often as Bezos recently confirmed he's purchased property in the Miami area near his parents. Bezos' space company Blue Origin also recently opened a launch facility at Cape Canaveral and a rocket assembly facility in Brevard County -- both in central Florida on the eastern coast.

“They recently moved back to Miami, the place we lived when I was younger,” Bezos recently said on Instagram. “I want to be close to my parents.”

As for Koru , it appears she's all set for retirement life with Bezos and family in sunny Florida. With Abeona following closely behind, there will be no shortage of amenities to pass the time.

You can see Koru arriving at port in the video below:

Jeff Bezos' new home 'Billionaire Bunker' island outside Miami has a rich history ‒ literally

Exactly a century before Amazon founder Jeff Bezos announced he was moving to an exclusive island enclave just outside the Miami city limits, a land rush in Florida was underway during the Roaring '20s.

Laying the groundwork for the land rush was the New York-born “Father of Miami” Henry Flagler, a founder of Standard Oil, whose completion of the Florida East Coast Railway in 1896 opened southeast Florida to tourists for the first time.

After the outbreak of World War I, many wealthy Americans who were used to vacationing in the French Riviera began frequenting the resort communities sprouting up in Miami and Palm Beach, creating the American Riviera.

During the great boom, developers began building islands in Biscayne Bay and connecting them with a series of bridges called the “Venetian Causeway,” says historian Seth Bramson, author of “33154: The Story of Bal Harbour, Bay Harbor Islands, Indian Creek Village and Surfside”

More: Amazon founder billionaire Jeff Bezos announces he's leaving Seattle, moving to Miami, Florida

Work also had begun north of the Venetian Causeway by the Shoreland Co. to build one of the largest manmade islands out of a mangrove swamp, a 600-acre project then tentatively called the Miami Shores Island.

“They felt that they could do very well making money with a recreation island, which they would call Miami Shores Island,” says Bramson, a professor at Barry University in Miami. “They would have tennis courts. They would have golf, they would have recreation that people would pay and so they would make money.”

However, a year into the project, the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 sent the Shoreland Co. into bankruptcy.

By then, close to 300 acres of the swamp had been developed into a barrier island. In 1928, a group of Midwestern millionaires bought the island from the government and the following year, a golf course and a red-tiled Mediterranean-style club opened. A two-lane bridge connected the island by road through the Town of Surfside.

Though the country was going through the Great Depression, several wealthy Americans built mansions near the clubhouse, says Bramson.

In 1939, getting wind of the fact that the Town of Surfside was discussing the possibility of annexing the island at its council meetings, the island’s residents took advantage of a now-defunct state law, which permitted any group of 25 or more people living relatively contiguously to form a municipality, according to Bramson.

The island was incorporated as Indian Village Creek on May 19, 1939.

The village, which has about 85 residents, now operates under a mayor-council form of government and has its own police department.

“It is a beautifully kept place, the homes, the public streets, everything is picture perfect. And that's what they want. That's what they're entitled to,” says Bramson, who’s visited the island a few times. His late wife, a baker, had clients on the island.

Bezos owns two homes on the island: one that he bought in October for $79 million and a neighboring estate for $68 million, according to Bloomberg News.

Other A-list celebrities living in the so-called "Billionaire Bunker" are NFL legend Tom Brady, singer Julio Iglesias, investor Carl Icahn, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

The privately owned, exclusive residential enclave includes 41 platted waterfront residential home sites (which are owned by 36 property owners with 29 estate homes as of Dec. 31, 2017), according to the village website.

“It appeals to people who want complete privacy because even the road leading to the island is completely private,” says Lourdes Alatreste, a real estate agent in Miami who specializes in luxury properties.

All aboard S.S. Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly gifted himself a $300 million megayacht, dubbed “Launchpad,” ahead of his 40th birthday.

The staggering 387-foot-long vessel was seen floating at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., after arriving at its berth earlier this week, The Sun reported Thursday.

The multi-layered luxury ship’s sleek exterior was designed by Espen Øino International and boasts a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure, according to SuperYacht Times.

Reportedly ranking as the 45th largest yacht in the world, the interiors are just as aesthetically pleasing and reportedly executed by Zuretti Interior Design company, a France-based company specializing in unique and custom yacht design.

The breathtakingly beautiful floater stands out with a navy blue theme matching an American flag perched proudly on its wood-paneled stern.

There are several outdoor areas where the social media maven will be able to relax with his family and the indoor levels feature glass paneling allowing for tons of natural light.

There also appears to be a helipad perfect for whenever the Facebook co-founder wants to travel to his vessel by air.

The Feadship-built yacht, built in 2022, can comfortably fit 24 guests aboard, requires a crew of 48, and is said to cost $30 million a year for upkeep and usage, according to Superyachtfan.com .

Boatworld insiders have been buzzing with speculation that Zuckerberg is the owner of the newly minted mega-cruise ever since it made its main voyage from the Netherlands last week.

The tech titan was spotted touring the Russian-commissioned megayacht in early March, though the impressive boat didn’t arrive stateside until this week due to sanctions, according to The Sun.

The website reported that Zuckerberg purchased the pricey yacht – along with its own $30 million partner boat — most likely as an early 40th birthday present to himself.

The boat reportedly traveled to Florida after being granted special permission to be imported just weeks ahead of Zuckerberg’s birthday on May 14.

Zuckerberg’s yacht is just 30 feet shorter than the length of fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos’ 417-foot megayacht Koru, which the Amazon boss snagged for a whopping $500 million.

Zuckerberg’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
