Koru, one of the world's largest sailing yachts which is owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, cruised into Auckland's Waitematā Harbour this morning.
The 127m-long, 17m-wide superyacht passed Rangitoto before docking at Wynyard Quarter.
The vessel is reportedly worth US$500 million (NZ$800 million).
Dutch shipbuilder Oceanco built the three-masted yacht in the Netherlands. It was handed over to Bezos in 2023.
It is not known whether the billionaire was on board when Koru arrived, or how long the yacht will stay in Auckland.
The yacht's name is the Māori word for the unfurling fern frond, which symbolises new life and growth.
Koru usually sails with a support vessel, Abeona, which carries a helipad and extra equipment the main yacht has no room for.
