Here's an 8 minute video about Jimmy Buffett planning and building a 42 foot, pilot house, catamaran fishing boat. Interesting video and a beautiful boat!!

Saw several in skull creek. Looked like the ultimate near shore boat. Would have no issue going to the canyons for giant blue tuna or sailfish with one. His seems a monster with four in the back . Likely 1800 ponies back there.

I think he always has a stable of sail and power boats, doesn't he?...

It was close by ... just a bit further east on the island when he passed. Hope he got one last ride.

So many boats and now planes have claimed Buffet owned them, it is becoming just like “George Washington slept here.” It maybe just an effort to increase the resale value.
Take it all with a grain of salt unless it is documented.
They might have been leased in his name. Not the same as actual ownership

Buffett had at least one boat built by Pacific Seacraft in Washington NC. This is a link to an article about "Drifter" https://www.boatinternational.com/luxury-yacht-life/owners-experiences/jimmy-buffett-yacht-drifter
I think there was another boat delivered some years before that too. Buffett was seen in our area a number of times and was supposed to have favored a local Margarita-style restaurant/tiki bar called ."Backwater Jacks"
