"This Cheoy Lee 90 Expedition can sleep nine guests and four crew, downright modest by rich-people boat standards but a perfect size for a bachelor party, nuclear Mormon family, or U.S. Supreme Court work retreat. The opportunities are endless. It goes without saying that Continental Drifter II was far from being Buffett's only boat; it wasn't even his only boat called Continental Drifter. According to BuffettNews.com, the professional chiller owned nine boats and eight planes over the course of his 76 years."
"If you happen to get outbid on Buffett's yacht, there are still ways to pay nautical tribute to the genius who gave us the concept of it being five o' clock somewhere. "Continental Drifter" is the name of an entire colorway of Margaritaville merch, so you can match the navy-and-white yacht with a cooler bag or a beach umbrella for as little as $35. Or you can book a Margaritaville at Sea cruise, which goes for as little as a frankly alarming $65."
G3 Auctions of Palm Beach will auction Jimmy Buffett's former yacht, Continental Drifter II (now DoubleYou), on September 4 with a minimum bid of $1.2 million after an initial $2.7 million asking price. The yacht is a Cheoy Lee 90 Expedition that sleeps nine guests and four crew. Buffett owned multiple vessels and aircraft across his life, including nine boats and eight planes. Margaritaville-branded merchandise uses the Continental Drifter colorway, offering affordable options like a cooler bag or beach umbrella for about $35. Margaritaville at Sea cruises are available starting around $65 as alternative tributes.
