The 42-foot sportfish once owned by Jimmy Buffett is designed specifically for bluewater fishing
SI Yachts, a luxury yacht dealer and broker with offices in the Northeast and Florida, has listed the famous boat owned by Jimmy Buffett, Last Mango II, for sale.
This 42 Rybovich Spencer Sportfishing boat was custom-built for the Margaritaville singer and then the mold was purposely destroyed, ensuring it would always be one of a kind.
“This is the ultimate opportunity for Jimmy Buffett fans to own something that was a big part of him and his life,” says Steve Messenger, the yacht broker who has it listed. “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!”
Buffett made countless trips throughout the Florida Keys, Bahamas, and up to the Hudson Canyon fishing with friends, putting nearly 5,000 hours on the twin 670-hp Cummins QSM11 diesel inboards. The engines have since been re-manufactured and the top end speed is now 35 knots, with a cruise speed of 24 knots.
“The owner of the boat was personal friends with Jimmy and bought it from him directly,” Messenger adds. “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 Buffett boat is located in Montauk, New York, and is listed for sale at $999,000.
