Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ $500 million superyacht was just spotted sailing in the Bay of Palma, Mallorca.
Known as Koru, the sea vessel is one of the world’s most prestigious superyachts.
When commissioned, it was the second-largest sailing yacht in the world.

The superyacht was recently spotted in the Bay of Palma by a VIP yacht charter service, Sail Trip Mallorca.
The last time the yacht came to Palma was two years ago on her maiden voyage.

They then took a helicopter to Koru’s support ship, the Abeona, and then a fast launch to the mega-yacht.
Speaking of the $75 million support vessel, it offers additional crew accommodation, a helipad, and storage for supplies.
The couple also spent a few days cruising in Mallorcan waters before heading to the South of France where they got engaged.
Why is it out on the sea?
It is unclear whether Bezos or Sanchez are onboard during this voyage of the Koru.
It is highly likely that the crew is just performing routine trials on her equipment.
The annual cost to maintain a superyacht and its support vessel doesn’t come cheap, either.
The Koru and her support vessel Abeona cost approximately $25 million and $10 million per year.

Built in the Netherlands by Oceanco, the three-masted superyacht is 127 meters long.
It is reported to have cost $500 million, but for Jeff Bezos, that may as well be pocket change.
