Was Eric Clapton’s Yacht Docked in Marion This Past Weekend?

  • Share on Facebook
  • Share on Twitter

There was a buzz crackling across Marion this past weekend like the hum of an electric guitar vibrating through an amp, with the rumor that legendary rock and blues guitarist Eric Clapton was in town.

A yacht called Blue Guitar was spotted in the harbor over the weekend; for years, online reports wherever it shows up suggest that this yacht is owned by Clapton. It would make sense, after all, that a man with the love of both the blues and the guitar would name his yacht Blue Guitar . It also has a British Union Jack flag flying and is home ported in London, England.

It all adds up, right?

The Marion and Tri-Town Facebook groups had multiple posts pop up of people sharing photos of the yacht, and attempting to figure out if indeed "Slowhand" himself was on board and why he may be in town. Someone claimed he came to Marion for a wedding (surely, he would have had to perform "Wonderful Tonight" for the lucky bride and groom); others stated that his daughter, 17-year-old Sophie Belle Clapton, is a student at Tabor Academy.

However, there is no definitive proof, at least anything found online, that proves that Clapton is the owner of the 103-foot yacht that was built in 1967. Almost all of the connections between the rock god and the yacht are anecdotal, as any stories about the Blue Guitar spotted in a particular port are followed in the comments sections with people claiming to moor their own yachts near it and seeing Clapton on the deck, strumming a guitar.

Even this 2013 YouTube video of the Blue Guitar sailing through the Cape Cod Canal suggests it belongs to Clapton:

We can prove, however, that Clapton does own at least one yacht, one far larger and more luxurious than the Blue Guitar – not that the Blue Guitar is anything to shake a Strat at.

According to BoatInternational.com , Clapton owns a superyacht, the Va Bene . Reportedly, Clapton purchased the superyacht in 2005, and now has it listed for sale for $7.5 million. He reportedly auctioned it off in November of 2020 with an expected bid of $10 million, but it’s not clear if anyone bid and took it off his hands. The site also says that Clapton "reportedly" owns the Blue Guitar .

It may be likely that Clapton did at one time own the Blue Guitar , and maybe he sold it to someone else. Since it was built in 1967, he could have purchased it just as he started to hit it big with the Yardbirds or later on with Cream. A listing on the photo website Alamy suggests that Blue Guitar is owned by James Benenson and Lawrence Small, so perhaps Clapton sold it to them when he purchased the bigger, better Va Bene ?

Whether he was in Marion or not, Clapton has been a controversial figure in recent years. First, he had to fight off claims that he was an anti-vax conspiracy theorist over his outspoken comments about the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine. Then, a racist rant from a 1976 concert resurfaced , in which he lamented Jamaican immigrants coming to the UK and declared, “Keep Britain White!”

My View of Life on the Dock

Blue Guitar Yacht Visits Gloucester

My eye caught this beautiful yacht docked at Ocean Alliance. I noticed the British flag and the designation London and I wondered if they came all the way across the pond because London is so extra crowded this week. Maybe not. I did a little research and you can see some if it at this link. There are unsubstantiated rumors it belongs to Eric Clapton but no definitive ownership that I could find. Sure is pretty though! Welcome to Gloucester mates.

Was That Eric Clapton’s Boat In Casco Bay This Past Sunday?

  • Share on Facebook
  • Share on Twitter

There has been a slew of celebrity sightings in Maine this summer. Vacationland has seen its reputation trending upward for a really great place to stay for a few days. But while celebrities have been spotted at airports and eateries, there haven't been any sightings on the sea...until now.

Shared on Facebook by Jeff Grundy , the luxury yacht named "Blue Guitar" was spotted in Casco Bay on Sunday. According to Boat International , the yacht belongs to legendary guitarist Eric Clapton. To be fair, there's plenty of dispute on the internet as to whether Clapton has sold that boat or not. No concrete proof can be found.

The boat itself is still a marvel even though it was built more than 50 years ago. The 103 foot yacht was designed to accommodate seven people luxuriously, and clearly is still in terrific condition today.

So perhaps this still belongs to Eric Clapton and perhaps Mr. Clapton spent a day or two enjoying all that Portland, Maine has to offer. Perhaps this has a new owner and decided to hold onto the name that Clapton gave the boat.

Re: Blue Guitar Probably not Clapton's. Look here: http://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/st1/CoastGuard/VesselByName.html Of course, if it's not a US-based documented vessel, that would be a different story. But Blue Guitar brings up just one documented vessel, and that's not Clapton's.  

Re: Blue Guitar http://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/st1/CoastGuard/VesselByName.html You can look up documented vessels here. Blue Guitar shows up, but not with Clapton as the owner.

Re: Blue Guitar Thanks for all your feedback. The boat on the back says London, so i'm almost sure its not a U.S. vessel. It also flies a British flag. I went to google and it directed me to som web site. There are actually people following this boat around and saying where it has been. They really seem to think it's his. I don't think I or we will ever know! It also mentions the Va Bene, that looks like a pretty one! Well thanks again!

Great day for yacht viewing on the Ct. river area in and around Essex,Ct. where we spotted a classic yacht flying the "Union Jack" flag. The yacht appropriately named "Blue Guitar" for the owner of this jewel, namely, Eric Clapton. Way to cool!!!

There is another "Blue Guitar" yacht that I found. The CNN article pointed me to this one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD  

Well I am totally confused at this point.

Blue guitar is owned by a famous guitar guy. Pretty sure it is Eric Clapton.  

So which picture is his "boat"? I love that term for something this size. I remember a thread on here discussing what determined a "yacht". I think these both qualify. As to EC... he is very unpretentious. My nephew met him in a bar in Asheville NC at a Jean Jacques Cale show. (J.J. Cale) He was there just to support and enjoy his friend.

Same boat is on a mooring in newport once in a while.......its Slow Hand's  

Eric "Slowhand" Clapton may have once owned "Blue Guitar" but now it seems it has been owned by these guys for a few years - " James Benenson and Lawrence Small are the owners of the 103' Camper and Nicholsons Destiny class motor yacht." Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_owns_the_yacht_Blue_Guitar#ixzz25Q53xUYc Other items pop up that points to "Va Bene" as being Clapton's current yacht...  

That's what I was trying to say! Maybe he should name it "Cocaine".  

endless seas

I also heard Blue Guitar was Kenny Chesney's boat name down in the BVI.

K. Chesney is from New Tazwell Tennessee.......right outside of Knoxville. I think he has a couple of Sea Rays. This one is a 56DB. http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv345/perkv5/ArrivinginStThomas004.jpg
