If the rumors are true, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are about to tie the knot not in a cathedral, not in a palace—but aboard one of the most opulent private vessels on the planet. And honestly, we get it. When your yacht is larger than most boutique hotels and has better views than any penthouse in Venice, why not say “I do” at sea? So let’s take a closer look at the 127-meter sailing yacht Koru—named after the Māori symbol for new beginnings and personal growth—which has become the unofficial headquarters of the Bezos-Sánchez love story.

Design

This long, lean, and theatrically elegant yacht was built by Oceanco in the Netherlands. Its classic silhouette—with three towering masts—recalls old-world sailing ships, but that’s about where the nostalgia ends. The styling is sleek, minimalist, and custom-tailored to Bezos’ tastes, with warm teak decking, glossy mahogany details, and interiors reportedly designed by the same minds behind some of the world’s top boutique hotels. It’s not flashy. It’s deliberate. Every line, every railing, every fixture looks like it was obsessed over—and it probably was.

Accommodation

The yacht can host up to 18 guests in absolute comfort, with a crew of around 40 to keep things running like a Swiss watch. No bunk beds or pull-out sofas here, just full-beam suites with panoramic sea views, private terraces, and quiet corners for reading the Financial Times or texting the pilot of your helicopter. Each cabin is styled like a private retreat, dressed in soft neutrals, natural woods, and just enough custom detail to remind you that this isn’t chartered.

Amenities

When it comes to amenities, this isn’t a boat—it’s a floating lifestyle ecosystem. There’s a full-service gym (naturally), a spa with massage rooms and a dedicated wellness staff, and an infinity-edge pool that glows like liquid sapphire at night. There’s also a cinema, a formal dining salon, multiple outdoor lounges, and a beach club with steps that lower right into the sea. And because no yacht of this caliber is complete without backup, Koru travels with a support vessel—Abeona—which carries the toys: tenders, jet skis, a submarine, and anything else the weekend requires.

Privacy

What really sets Koru apart isn’t just its design or amenities—it’s how effortlessly it disappears. Not literally, of course, but socially. It’s not showing up in a thousand tagged Instagram posts. It’s not part of the usual billionaire boat parade. It slips in and out of ports quietly, with no press releases or paparazzi tip-offs. It’s luxury is designed for someone who’s done everything else—and would now prefer to stay several steps ahead. So if this really is where Bezos and Sánchez are saying their vows, it would make a lot of sense. After all, Koru is more than a yacht—it’s a statement. Not loud, not showy, but absolutely impossible to ignore.
