We know two new things about billionaire Jeff Bezos’ megayacht Koru.

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.

Abeona features a helicopter hangar that can host an aircraft up to a D-value of 14, shares Superyacht Times. Additionally, the support vessel can easily accommodate all the tenders and toys without taking up crucial space on the US$500 million Y721, aka Koru.

Keeping up with Bezos’ US$500 million megayacht Koru

If anyone can beat Pirates of the Caribbean’s iconic Black Pearl ship at its game, it is tycoon Bezos’ superyacht that will hence be known as one of the world’s largest and most ecological yachts. As the centibillionaire’s 470ft vessel Koru – named after a Maori word meaning “new beginnings” – gears for sea trials, the support vessel Abeona has completed them successfully.

Almost twice the length of the Airbus A380, Koru boasts three enormous decks, a bowsprit, a colossal black hull and an elegant contour, according to NZ Herald. The three decks will feature amenities like an on-deck swimming pool, a cinema, several lounges and business areas spread across the enormous decks, reports the same source.
