Jeff Bezos' Koru sailing yacht has finally arrived in the US, and it's so enormous that it did not fit next to other superyachts at the Port of Everglades. The $500 million vessel was finally docked next to gigantic oil tankers at the South Florida seaport.

The biggest sailing yacht in the world, Koru, owned by centibillionaire Jeff Bezos, is a goliath that has completed its Mediterranean sojourn and has finally come to the United States of America. The 416-foot luxury schooner is currently in South Florida, docked at Port Everglades, per Marine Traffic. The largest space at the port caters to superyachts up to 400 feet. So massive is this $500 million megayacht of the Amazon boss that it doesn’t fit even in there. The floating asset is docked near a 610-foot-long oil tanker, Independence, and a similarly-sized tanker by the name of Seakay Sky.

Docking a luxury vessel as massive as Bezos’s boat is no cheap affair. According to Port Everglades docking rates, it costs $2,400 (though chump change for the Amazon founder) for the Oceanco Yacht, previously known as Y721, to dock per day. The vessel, inspired by the Black Pearl, has been moored at the port for over two days and is not listed in the schedule for departure for the next week.

That’s a docking bill of almost $22,000 for 10 days that it may remain anchored at Port Everglades. However, it’s not the financial aspect that’s most remarkable, but rather the ship’s enormous size and stature, which challenge even the largest docks to accommodate it.

Koru is one of the world’s most luxurious ships, incurring a daily upkeep cost of $137,000 for the billionaire owner. These docking charges, in comparison, are relatively insignificant. The half-a-billion-dollar boat is nearly twice the length of an Airbus A380 with an internal volume of 3,300 GT. Moreover, its triple masts measuring 230 feet make the vessel nearly half the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Accommodating this maritime masterpiece is a formidable task, achieved by positioning it next to oil tankers.

In addition to being so gigantic, Koru is followed by a $75 million support vessel, Abeona. According to the port’s website, Abeona is headed to Freeport, Bahamas, and it’s likely only a matter of time before Koru follows suit. The 416-foot yacht left Gibraltar on November 9th and arrived in Florida on the 23rd, disabling its AIS and even prompting Port Everglades to delete details of the ship to maintain secrecy.
