International media report that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is building a large yacht in the Netherlands. And he has also ordered the large (75 meters) support vessel WINGMAN.

Sailing Yacht KORU
Bezos’ superyacht is actually hull Y721, currently under construction at Oceanco. The yacht will have a similar styling as Barry Diller’s sailing yacht EOS (which has a length of ‘just’ 93 m (305 ft)).
The yacht will have a large swimming pool on the aft deck. We estimate that the yacht can accommodate 18 guests, which will be catered for by a crew of around 40. The yacht will be delivered in 2022.
For the delivery of the yacht, a central part of the historic Koningshaven Bridge in Rotterdam will have to be dismantled.
Update December 2022: it seems her name will be KORU. SuperYachtFan is the first to bring you this news!
KORU
The koru (Māori for ‘”loop or coil”‘) is a spiral shape based on the appearance of a new unfurling silver fern frond. It is an integral symbol in Māori art, carving and tattooing, where it symbolizes new life, growth, strength, and peace. Its shape “conveys the idea of perpetual movement,” while the inner coil “suggests returning to the point of origin”.
Bezos made a post on Instagram referring to KORU and mentioning: personal growth, renewal, rebirth, and paying careful attention to each moment of your life.”
