WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The yacht of late great singer Jimmy Buffett will soon be on the auction block.

According to South Florida based G3 Auctions, the 90-foot Cheoy Lee expedition yacht build in 1999 will be up for sale with a starting bid of $1,200,000.

It originally cost $ 2,700,000.

The listing said the 90-foot, tri-deck yacht called the Double You is complete with four staterooms and has enough sleeping room for nine guests and four crew members.

But there’s one catch. The yacht, currently located in Phuket, Thailand, would need to be picked up by its new owners.

According to the website, the 24-hour auction begins at 11 a.m. on Sept. 4.

Buffett, whose sun-drenched songs celebrated life by the shore, died of a rare, aggressive skin cancer at 76.
