Big news in the superyacht world as the stunning 49.9-metre Feadship yacht, named Koru, experiences a hefty €595K markdown. This beautifully designed seafaring gem, boasting historical significance and contemporary sophistication, has received a price cut that's bound to make waves amongst discerning buyers. The brainchild of the late iconic designer Jon Bannenberg, and originally commissioned for billionaire tycoon Emilio Azcárraga, this extravagantly stylish vessel is something special indeed.
Originally built by the renowned Dutch yard Feadship, Koru emerged from an extensive two-year rebuild carried out by Ocean Technical. Delighting all who lay eyes on her with a new navy-blue hue, an extended stern, and a refreshed sundeck and interiors, this is a yacht that declares to the world its presence and poise on the azure oceans.
What's under the hood is just as impressive. Twin MTU engines, packing a combined 2950hp, give Koru a cruising speed of 19 knots, with the ability to reach a sprightly top speed of 22 knots. This is certainly an investment for anyone with a love for superyachts that combine the alluring charm of a noteworthy pedigree with the suave sophistication of modern luxury.

What this means on the water
This story matters only if it helps sailors, owners, clubs, marinas and readers make better decisions afloat or ashore. The new point should be the named event, result, boat, notice, place or change in the report above, not the shine around it. Old Sea Dogs treats press releases and organiser statements as a starting point, then looks for the practical detail: dates, entry rules, berthing, costs, crew impact, safety notes and what readers should check next. What remains uncertain is the usual waterfront mix of weather, final notices, availability, pricing and how a claim holds up once people arrive. Use this piece as a pointer, then check the linked source before making plans.
