Koru, formerly known as Azteca, is a magnificent 49.89 meter superyacht crafted by the renowned Feadship shipyard and originally launched in 1983. Designed by the legendary Jon Bannenberg for the visionary Mexican tycoon Emilio Azcárraga, Koru has a storied history that reflects innovation and elegance.

The yacht recently underwent an extensive two-year refit at Aykin Marina & Shipyard in Turkey, under the expert hands of Ocean Technical. Completed in April 2024, this transformation included a stunning new exterior with a navy hull accented by crisp white detailing and a lengthened stern that adds both space and style. A new sundeck enhances the outdoor experience, while the interiors have been entirely overhauled, converting the original television lounge into an additional guest cabin.

Koru’s technical upgrades are as impressive as her aesthetic enhancements. The yacht now features overhauled main engines, updated navigation systems, and the addition of Starlink for seamless remote connectivity. These improvements ensure that Koru combines classic design with modern luxury and practicality.

With accommodation for up to 10 guests across 5 staterooms, Koru offers an exceptional yachting experience. Her twin MTU diesel engines provide a cruising speed of 14 knots and a top speed of 17 knots, ensuring smooth and swift voyages.

Koru is now available for sale, offering new beginnings and unparalleled adventures on the open seas. She stands as a testament to timeless design and cutting-edge innovation, ready to provide her next owner with a luxurious yachting experience.
