Jeff Bezos’ 125-meter yacht, the ‘Koru’, presents a spatial struggle that many yacht owners face: the feeling of the boat being too small. As families grow, beds shrink, comfort diminishes, and the desire to bring along furry companions arises. For ordinary folks, the solution often involves adding a few extra feet to their vessel, embracing the considerable space upgrade facilitated by modern shipyard designs.
However, there is a point where even an extra meter is not enough. This issue is especially noticeable in the world of yachts that are 70 feet or larger. Passionate sailors in this category often have support yachts of impressive size in addition to their primary sailing vessel.
For example, consider the case of ‘Pink Gin Verde,’ a beautiful 68-foot yacht whose shadow is dwarfed by the colossal ‘Pink Shadow,’ which stretches a staggering 58 meters. It is rumored that this support vessel belongs to Hans Georg Näder, the German tycoon behind Baltic Yachts in Finland. Näder has a history with the shipyard, having previously commissioned the construction of the sleek 46-meter ‘Pink Gin VI,’ which found a new owner just last year. He is known for his passion for yachting.
Jeff Bezos, the visionary behind Amazon, found himself in a spatial conundrum aboard his expansive 125-meter three-master, ‘Koru.’ This led him to make an unconventional choice, opting for a companion vessel from the distinguished SeaXplorer line: the impressive 75-meter ‘Abeona’ – the largest of its kind crafted by the Dutch thus far.
The design of ‘Abeona’ is striking, featuring a vertical stem and a large helipad at the stern that can accommodate a substantial helicopter in its hangar. The escort boat has enough space to accommodate a crew of 45 and Bezos’ entourage. ‘Abeona’ is equipped with all the essentials, including tender boats and a variety of water toys, to enhance the seafaring experience.
