Super producer Scott Storch’s 117-foot Norship/ Devonport yacht hit eBay, with the auction closing today and failing to hit the reserve price. The final bid came in at $1,000,101, about $18 million less than the boat’s replacement value in current markets. The listing states, “the boat is being sold under distress, owner bought her and now got short on money,” blatantly indicating that they Piano Man is broke.
While it would be hard to justify dropping anywhere close to the boat’s $19 million replacement value or even its original $11.9 million purchase price, the art deco yacht is clearly worth more than the million dollars bid. Any serious buyer could probably pick up a great deal on the ship, since it’s still for sale.
Dubbed “Tiffany,” Storch’s art deco-themed, yacht features four staterooms, three of which have Jacuzzi tubs, as well as three crew cabins. The boat is currently undergoing a refit to change the accent paint color to beige and replace some of the carpeting.
Check out the thumbs below for a more detailed look. The eBay listing is still up, so if you’re curious click here.

Wally Yachts, a well-known maker of futuristic boats, has introduced its new 64 foot WallyPower. You may recognize its larger brother, the 118 WallyPower from the movie The Island.
The new 64 WallyPower sports the company’s characteristic military look, as well as a large glass superstructure covering most of the yacht. The 1550 hp version can reach speeds of 50 knots, with a 300 mile range, so the boat has the power to back up its looks.
In May and June of this year, the first two owners will take delivery of their boats, which are currently under construction. Purchasers can choose from three interior configurations.
