There is less left for Jeff Bezos to sail the seas in his controversial 127-meter megayacht, which makes it the largest sailboat in the world. Built by shipbuilder Oceanco, the nearly completed vessel has been seen floating at the Greenport shipyard in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where she managed to reach last week after being towed upriver without her three masts. Now, the shipping company has shared a video that closely shows the details of the exterior of this luxurious vessel.
In the video you can see the size of the luxurious boat that Oceanco has taken two years to build. The case stands out for its intense black color, in contrast to the whiteness of the masts, each 120 meters high.

Although there are still no images of the interior of the Amazon founder’s superyacht, it is known that it has the capacity to accommodate up to 12 passengers and a crew of 40 people. In addition, it has three deck levels equipped with a heliport, swimming pool, jacuzzi, a movie theater and an auxiliary dock for a second smaller yacht, which serves as support, as well as for boats or jet skis.
In addition to its size and price -Jeff Bezos has paid no less than 430 million euros for it-, the luxurious boat made headlines a few months ago because the shipping company wanted to remove the central part of the famous Koningshaven bridge in the city of Rotterdam to what could happen with the masts already assembled, which finally did not happen due to the refusal of its inhabitants.
The alternative has been to tow the superyacht for approximately 38 kilometers, to the port of Greenport. According to El Español, the operation was carried out at dawn – it left the Oceanco shipyard at 1 in the morning – and lasted 3 hours. Four ships have been necessary to be able to move the boat to its destination.
Forbes estimates that the Amazon founder has a net worth of more than $162 billion and currently ranks him among the top three richest men in the world. In addition to being a giant in the e-commerce industry, Bezos also owns The Washington Post newspaper and the space company Blue Origin.
