Most people would be happy having one superyacht as a nautical toy but one of the richest men in the world, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has two and both were in the Bay of Palma over the weekend. His sailing yacht, Koru, is the biggest in the world and 127 metres long. Last weekend it was joined by Abeona which acts as a support ship for the Koru, but is still classed as a superyacht.
