Built by Feadship in 1983, the interior and exterior of this legendary yacht was made by Jon Bannenberg for the visionary Mexican tycoon Emilio Azcárraga, alongside her sister ship Paraiso, Azteca made waves in the yachting world with her avant-garde design.

Azteca
Upon her arrival at Aykin Marina & Shipyard in February 2022, the yacht embarked on a comprehensive transformation, culminating in her relaunch in April 2024. Initial glimpses of her exterior reveal a modern reinterpretation of her distinctive forewindows, complemented by a striking navy hull accented with crisp white detailing.

Original interior
Among the notable enhancements is the extension of the stern by 3.2 meters, accompanied by a complete overhaul of the transom and sundeck. The latter, achieved through the removal of the original roof structure, promises an elevated onboard experience. Inside, yacht's interiors have undergone a thorough revitalization, with particular attention paid to the conversion of her original television lounge into an additional guest cabin.

Koru
The yacht was renamed Koru and now she also boasts revamped technical systems, including a comprehensive overhaul of her main engines, ensuring seamless operation and reliability for future voyages.
As Koru emerges from her transformative journey, she stands ready to embark on new adventures, soon the yacht will be available for sale.
