Delivered in 1983, Koru is a 164'1" motor yacht for sale built by Dutch shipyard Feadship. Her interior design and exterior styling comes from the drawing boards of Bannenberg & Rowell, while De Voogt is responsible for her naval architecture.

Key Features

  • Glass-roofed solarium
  • Original retro 1980s interior decoration
  • Split-level master suite
  • Striking angular appearance

Design & Construction

Designed around a semi-displacement aluminium hull and superstructure she features a 27'7" beam and a 8'2" draft. The yacht is built over 3 decks with an internal volume of 435 GT (Gross Tonnes).

The yacht was designed and constructed in compliance with the Lloyds Register technical standards.

Exterior Design

Following an extensive rebuild spanning from 2022 to 2024, this classic Feadship has been restored to its former glory, exuding a striking appearance reminiscent of its heyday. Originally christened Azteca, the yacht was the visionary design of Jon Bannenberg, whose influence extended to later vessels like the 74.5m Blohm and Voss yacht Zeus (formerly Eco), both owned by the same media mogul.

Notably ahead of its time, the yacht's design features such as the glass-roofed solarium on the top deck and the forward-facing observation saloon set a precedent in the 1980s, inspiring similar innovations in other superyachts. The refurbishment saw a departure from its original white hull and superstructure, now boasting a striking dark blue hull courtesy of the Aykin Marina & Shipyard, accentuating the Feadship's sleek lines and profile.

Enhancements include a 3.2m extension to the stern, alongside the addition of a new sundeck and transom. The yacht's design embodies a sense of dynamic forward motion, with its raked bow, bold white bootstrap, and prominent strake accentuating its streamlined silhouette. A white line traces the flow of the upper deck, complementing the vertical glazing of the main deck. The bridge deck stands out with its smart and forward-facing design, featuring vertical glazing, a sun deck above, and a vertical radar mast.

Accommodation

Koru offers accommodation for up to 10 guests in 5 suites comprising an owners cabin, 2 VIP cabins and 2 twin cabins. She is also capable of carrying up to 9 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yacht experience.

Performance & Capabilities

Powered by twin diesel MTU (16V 538 TE82) 3,000hp engines running at 2100rpm, motor yacht Koru is capable of reaching a top speed of 22 knots, and comfortably cruises at 19 knots. With her 13,209 gallon fuel tanks she has a maximum range of 1,500 nautical miles at an economic speed of 15 knots. Her semi-displacement hull design means she offers a great balance of space and speed.

From the board of the legendary Jon Bannenberg, the 47-metre still has an other-worldly and contemporary look on the water, thanks to the extensive glazing and the sharp angles.

The vessel is equipped with an ultra-modern stabilization system which reduces roll motion effect and results in a smoother more enjoyable cruising experience. She also features bow thrusters making her more manoeuvrable at low speeds
