Bezos and ex-TV presenter Sanchez flew to Spain on a private jet then transferred to a helicopter which took them to the Koru’s support vessel, £60million Abeona.

Meanwhile crew loaded bags of designer clothes including Dolce & Gabbana.

We previously revealed that the yacht is so large that a bridge was almost torn down to see it off.

The grandiose ship is so big that the historic Koningshaven bridge at Rotterdam harbour was planned to be dismantled to get it out.

Previously known as Y721, the new yacht now goes by the name of Koru, meaning "new beginnings" in Maori.

The Amazon founder commissioned the construction of the boat in 2018 - coming with a hefty price tag of $500 million.

However, it was unlikely to make a dent in Bezos' wallet considering he is the world's third richest person with an estimated net worth of $115billion.

Dutch shipyard, Oceanco, was awarded the multi-million dollar contract to build it.

The boat builders have more than 30 years of experience in large custom yachts.
