The 47.5 meter long (156 foot) Va Bene yacht,
which the "Layla" singer and guitarist bought in 2005 and
refurbished extensively three years later, is expected to fetch
$7 million-$10 million at the Nov. 28 sale in Los Angeles,
auction house GWS Auctions said on Thursday.
Clapton's representatives declined to comment on the decision to
place the yacht for auction at the "Artifacts of Hollywood and
Music" event.
The yacht, which was built in 1992 and has accommodation for 14
guests in six staterooms, was previously listed for sale in 2018
on a marine brokers' website when it carried an asking price of
around $12 million.
It is being sold along with 300 other items including Elvis
Presley memorabilia and an Eric Clapton prototype guitar dating
from 1983 that was never manufactured. The guitar is expected to
sell for $40,000 - $50,000, GWS Auctions said.
