Jeff Bezos'sBezos's $150 million yacht Koru continues to expand, making it an everlasting adornment for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
The Times reported on Monday that Bezos' superyacht was found cruising the Mediterranean and close behind it was a support boat. The Abeona support boat, named Abeona, is a 246 feet motor yacht and has the potential to cruise 5,000 miles on a tank of fuel.
Abeona, the Roman goddess of adventure and safety, is the goddess of outward journeys and safe returns.
The support boat, reportedly, has a helicopter pad, storage, marine gear, and a crane to winch them into and out of the water. Abeona's helicopter hangar is meant to accommodate Sanchez's aircraft, which is helicopter pilot, as Koru's masts would not accommodate a launching pad.
Reid Stowe, a marine diver and artist, said such boats generally pack all types of playthings, including four-wheeled motorbikes, supercars and submarines. It is a mighty big boat, he said, blasted away by the sheer size of the support boat. The support boat was reportedly the second-largest yacht built by Damen Yachting in the Netherlands, and construction began in 2019.
