TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Jimmy Buffett fans have the chance to own a piece of the artist’s history, if they have just under a million dollars to spare.
The 42-foot Rybovich Spencer Sportfishing boat was custom-built for the “Margaritaville” singer in 2003, according to the seller.
Buffett named it Last Mango II, a reference to his 1985 song Last Mango in Paris. Its current owner, a friend of Buffett, renamed it Blue Eyes II after purchasing it from him.
“The owner of the boat was personal friends with Jimmy and bought it from him directly,” yacht broker Steve Messenger said. “It was custom built for Jimmy Buffett by Rybovich Spencer and when it was completed, he had the shipyard completely destroy the mold, so it could never again be copied.”
The yacht is listed for sale in Montauk, New York for an asking price of $999,000.
