LOS ANGELES, Nov 30, (Agencies): Jeff Bezos has docked his 417-foot-long yacht, Koru, in Florida, making a grand entrance to Port Everglades. The colossal vessel, valued at $500 million, required strategic parking next to an oil tanker and alongside other substantial cargo carriers due to its sheer size.

Recognized as the largest sailing yacht globally, Koru boasts a distinctive design with three towering masts and multiple decks, as reported by Boat International. The yacht had been spotted at sea earlier this year and has now found its way to the southeastern coast, coinciding with Bezos' recent announcement of his relocation from Seattle to Miami.

The 59-year-old entrepreneur shared his emotional decision to move in an Instagram post on Nov 2, expressing gratitude for his time in Seattle. The post featured a clip of Bezos providing a tour of Amazon's inaugural office, filmed by his father. In the caption, he mentioned that the move was inspired by his parents, Miguel and Jacklyn, who recently returned to Miami, where Bezos spent part of his youth.

"My parents have always been my biggest supporters," Bezos wrote. "They recently moved back to Miami, the place we lived when I was younger (Miami Palmetto High class of '82 — GO Panthers!) I want to be close to my parents, and Lauren and I love Miami."
