Inside Jeff Bezos’ shiny new US$500 million Koru megayacht and gigantic Abeona support vessel: the Amazon billionaire’s flashy ships are nearly ready – with a pool, cinema, helipad and more

One is that the support vessel of the Koru superyacht is called Abeona, after the Roman goddess who presided over the departure of travellers, per Boat International.

Second, the same 250ft support ship by Damen Yachting, the largest custom-built shadow yacht, was delivered to the tycoon, reported Superyacht Times. Built at the shipyard in Vlissingen, the Netherlands, YS 7512, as it was initially known, completed successful sea trials in December. She departed the shipyard in Vlissingen, the Netherlands, at the end of January before arriving in Gibraltar, states the source.

According to Yacht Harbour, Wright Maritime Group oversaw the build process on behalf of the Amazon founder. Abeona is discernible owing to the grey hull sporting an orange stripe running across the length of the hull. With a massive volume of around 1,900 GT, the boat accommodates an array of tenders and toys, marine gear and emergency relief support equipment. It also sleeps 45 people, including crew, guests and “specialist staff”, reports the same source. The support vessel of Koru comes in handy with its on-board helipad.
