- We're in for another hot yacht summer.
- Recent photos show Jeff Bezos hanging out with his fiancée Lauren Sanchez on a yacht in Portofino.
- Per media reports, the yacht in question is Bezos' $500 million yacht, Koru, which set sail in February.
Hot yacht summer is in full swing in Portofino.
A series of photos taken on June 12 show Jeff Bezos hanging out with his fiancée Lauren Sanchez on a yacht in the Italian Riviera. She's seen reclining against a flag pole and testing out a variety of poses as Bezos snaps some photos on his phone.
You'd be forgiven for thinking it's just standard couple-on-vacation stuff, but then you'd be compelled to remember that this is not just any billionaire, and it's not just any boat: It's the world's third-richest billionaire, and, per multiple media reports, it's Bezos' $500 million yacht.
As The Cut perfectly put it on Instagram, you're never too rich to be part of the #boyfriendsofinstagram.
The 417-foot vessel, named Koru, set sail for the first in February. You may remember it from that time in 2022 when the Dutch nearly had to dismantle a historic bridge to let the boat pass through Rotterdam.
It's hard to tell from a distance, but it looks like Bezos may be wearing his signature aviators. Sadly, the iconic $260, octopus-print swim trunks from 2019 did not make the cut this time.
Bezos and Sanchez were also photographed on the yacht off the coast of Spain in May, shortly after they hit up Coachella. The pair are hot yacht summer experts by now: In 2019, they made headlines for partying with Lloyd Blankfein and Karlie Kloss on David Geffen's yacht, Rising Sun, off the coast of Spain.
And you can't see it in this recent series of photos, but Bezos' yacht is adorned with a female bust, which people have been speculating is modeled off of Sanchez.
The Dutch, by the way, ended up not dismantling the old bridge for the sake of Bezos' big boat.
Bezos did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.
