EXCLUSIVE: Jeff Bezos’ 417-foot superyacht Koru arrives in US and is moored alongside cruise ship at Ft. Lauderdale seaport instead of other yachts because of its massive size

It seems like all the money in the world can’t guarantee you a parking spot.

Koru, the astonishing 400-foot sailing yacht built for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, 59, has finally arrived in the United States.

But the world’s third-richest man will have to keep his $550 million Goliath docked in a busy seaport because it is too big to fit alongside the other superyachts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Exclusive images from DailyMail.com show the lavish three-masted schooner docked in Port Everglades, nestled between giant oil tankers and the enormous Liberty of the Seas cruise ship.

The multi-billionaire will have to pay $16,500 for every week he is there, but that’s a small change compared to the estimated $25 million a year it will cost to build the Koru, the world’s tallest sailboat, with 70-meter masts , staff and operate.

The special support vessel, the Abeona – a 75-metre floating garage for the tycoon’s helicopter, jet skis and luxury cars – is currently moored six kilometers away at a shipyard in Dania Beach.

Koru, named after the Maori word for ‘new beginning’, arrived in Florida late last Wednesday evening after leaving Gibraltar two weeks earlier.

But since then it has been parked at Port Everglades — a major gateway for cruise ships and international trade — because South Florida’s posh marinas typically can’t accommodate a boat longer than 400 feet.

A nearby marina said it “might be feasible” but warned that Koru’s 17-metre beam and 4.5-metre draft (the depth it extends below the water’s surface) would make it a huge challenge.

DailyMail.com understands that Bezos – worth around $170 billion – is not currently on board, but is likely to use Koru over the festive period.

Bezos announced earlier this month that he and his glamorous fiancée Lauren Sanchez, 53, would be leaving Seattle, his base for the past 29 years, and moving back to Miami, his childhood home.

He has gone to two adjacent mansions on Indian Creek Island, the so-called “Billionaire’s bunker” where Ivanka Trump, Tom Brady and Philadelphia Eagles owner Norman Braman live.

The combined $147 million purchase gives Bezos 10 acres of waterfront land and about 400 feet of bayfront on Florida’s Intercoastal Waterway, but docking Koru there won’t be smooth sailing either.

“A boat of that size is far beyond my knowledge,” a local official told DailyMail.com. “I’d probably say it’s impossible. From what I understand, the intercoastal is not that deep.”

Inspired by Black Pearl, the fictional ship from Pirates of the Caribbean, Koru took three years to build in the historic port of Zwijndrecht, near Rotterdam in the Netherlands, by sailboat specialist Oceanco.

At almost twice the length of an Airbus A380, it is the second largest sailing ship in the world, surpassed only by the Philippe Starcke-designed sailing yacht A, owned by Russian fertilizer billionaire Andrey Melnichenko.

Before Koru was even launched, the sheer size of her masts caused an international controversy when Rotterdam announced that part of the 100-year-old Koningshaven Bridge would be dismantled so that the superyacht could sail under it.

The plan was abandoned and the masts tied downstream after thousands of locals vowed to destroy the boat’s maiden voyage by pelting it with rotten eggs.

Painted midnight blue with gold accents, the maritime wonder features three decks, a swimming pool and a huge sundeck where Bezos and Sanchez were spotted sunbathing in May during an inaugural cruise to the Spanish island of Mallorca.

Not long after, DailyMail.com revealed that the sprawling ship was the setting for Bezos to propose to Sanchez after a whirlwind four-year romance.

Another striking feature of Koru first revealed by DailyMail.com is the polished wooden figurehead on the bow of the boat, which depicts a curvaceous Roman goddess in a skimpy, low-cut dress.

The ornate sculpture bears a striking resemblance to former news anchor Sanchez, but she laughed off the similarities, telling Vogue that it was modeled after Freyja, the Norse goddess of love, fertility, war and gold.

Koru is also proving controversial due to the estimated 7,154 tonnes of CO2 emissions it is likely to generate each year.

The boat was hailed as green for its ability to travel using wind power, but researchers at Indiana University claim it will pump out greenhouse gases because of its heating, air conditioning, pool, sauna and other luxury amenities.

Their estimate is about 447 times the total annual carbon footprint for an average American. This is despite the fact that Bezos has pledged to spend $10 billion over ten years through the Bezos Earth Fund to fight climate change.

Bezos’ plans for his new home on guard-gated Indian Creek Island are not yet clear and his spokeswoman could not be reached for comment.

His first purchase was a three-bedroom, 9,300-square-foot property for which he paid $68 million in June.

Last month he bought the neighboring house, a larger seven-bedroom estate set on two acres and boasting a home theater, swimming pool and wine cellar, for $79 million.

Bezos has stated that he wants to live closer to his mother Jackie and adoptive father Miguel, who are in their late 70s.

“My parents have always been my biggest supporters. They recently moved back to Miami, where we lived when I was younger,” he said of his move to Florida.

“I want to be close to my parents, and Lauren and I love Miami. In addition, Blue Origin’s activities are increasingly shifting to Cape Canaveral. Nevertheless, I plan to return to Miami and leave the Pacific Northwest.”
