Three boats previously owned by jailed financier Bernard Madoff, that was sentenced in June to 150 years in prison, will be auctioned off in Fort Lauderdale on November 17.

Among the boats to be sold are a 55-foot, 1969 Rybovich luxury fishing boat called Bull that’s said to be worth about $2.2 million and Little Bull, a 24-foot center-console boat.

“We anticipate strong interest in the auction,” Matt Amata, vice president of National Liquidators, said in a statement Wednesday.

“We’ve heard from several potential bidders, who are interested in both the quality and notoriety of purchasing a ‘piece of history.’ “
