Jimmy Buffett's custom-built fishing boat is now for sale

Just a month after one of Jimmy Buffett's Florida homes hit the market, another piece of Parrothead history is for sale.

A custom-built 42-foot Rybovich Spencer Sportfishing boat that Buffett purchased in 2003 and named "Last Mango II" is now up for grabs in Montauk, New York, with SI Yachts broker Steve Messenger.

The boat's name is a nod to Buffett's 1985 song "Last Mango in Paris." However, it was purchased a few years later by a friend of Buffett's and renamed "Blue Eyes," according to the listing.

"The owner of the boat was personal friends with Jimmy and bought it from him directly," said Messenger. "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 listing says Buffett put nearly 5,000 hours on the boat, traveling between the Florida Keys, Bahamas and Hudson Canyon.

"This is the ultimate opportunity for Jimmy Buffett fans to own something that was a big part of him and his life," continued Messenger. "Everyone knows about his love for the ocean, boating, fishing, and the whole lifestyle through his music. I can't imagine how awesome the feeling would be to crank up 'Volcano' with a cold drink in my hand, slow trolling in the Bahamas!"

The current asking price for Buffett's boat is $999,000.

In September 2023, Buffett passed away at the age of 76 due to complications of skin cancer.

Known for his self-described "drunken Caribbean rock & roll," Buffett is considered to be one of the highest selling music artists of all time, with over 20 million certified records worldwide. Last April, Buffett was chosen to be posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the Musical Excellence category in 2024.

In July, Buffett's historic bungalow in Palm Beach also hit the market for $7.25 million.
