TonySoprano'sboat from HBO show for sale in Stamford

Aug. 10—"The current owner changed the name of the boat because he did not want attention," Paul Ouimette, a broker with United Yacht, said.

"The Sopranos" ran for seven seasons on HBO and won 21 Emmys. The show starred James Gandolfini as New Jersey mafia boss Tony Soprano, who struggled with the emotional weight of balancing his family at home with the crime family he was in charge of. In the show's pilot Tony takes his "goomah," an Italian American slang term meaning mistress, for a ride on "The Stugots."

Ouimette said the boat's sale has attracted national attention.

"There's been a lot of interest in the boat — a lot of phone calls, lots of emails, lot of texts," he said. "The media attention has been huge."

The listing went up toward the end of July, Ouimette said. So far, he's had two serious inquiries, but no buyer.

Ouimette said the boat was purchased in 2005, then made its way to Annapolis where the current owner purchased it. The boat was restored and brought to Connecticut in 2016, Ouimette said.

"Never Enough (née The Stugots)" is powered by two Detroit Diesel engines, according to its listing. It also features two staterooms (bedrooms) and two heads (bathrooms). It also comes with a leather couch, teak-accented features throughout, a kitchen, showers, bait prep and tackle stations and plenty of room for fishing gear.

Ouimette said the boat also appeared in the season four episode "Whitecaps" and a stand-in boat, a 43-foot Egg Harbor played the role of "The Stugots" in another episode. In later seasons, Tony was seen with a third, bigger boat, a 55-foot Ocean Yacht. And just as Tony needed a bigger boat, so too does the boat's current owner, according to Ouimette.

"It's getting too small for his family and he needs a bigger boat," Ouimette said.

Ouimette added the Stuart, Florida-based United Yacht Sales is no stranger to listing storied vessels.

"Our company has marketed several famous boats in movies," he said. "We just sold "Seafood" from 'Caddy Shack.' It's a pretty significant icon of a boat. That's where you get the quote, 'Hey. You scratched my anchor.'"

It's also not the only Sopranos-related news in Connecticut. New Haven's College Street Music Hall is hosting a live discussion with stars of the show on Nov. 18.
