The party’s over.
Dying doctor Scott Burke is reportedly selling his luxury yacht after he was busted for allegedly throwing a porn party with drugs, guns and prostitutes.
A new crew started cleaning up the Jess Conn this week, finally taking it out of Nantucket Harbor on Tuesday ready to be sold on behalf of the 69-year-old embattled owner, who has terminal cancer, the Nantucket Current revealed.
“It was just a mess,” one crew member told the local outlet of the 82-foot boat thought to be worth about $7.5 million.
“It looked like someone stopped the party in the middle of it.”
There was no sign of Burke, who was released from jail last week after posting $200,000 bail on multiple charges for weapons and drug trafficking, the outlet said.
The luxury yacht was covered in dog feces as well as trash, sources told the outlet of the aftermath of a wild weekend party that allegedly included porn shoots.

The new crew hired to sell the Jess Conn refused to discuss the wild allegations.
“I have no opinion, we’re just here to do a job. Period,” one crew member told the Current. “I have no idea what went on or what didn’t go on. And it’s not a concern of mine.”
Cops broke up the party after being contacted by a man who told police he thought his female friend who was aboard the Jess Conn overdosed after telling him she wanted to leave.

The caller told the police that cocaine, ketamine, ecstasy, and Adderall were used aboard the yacht.
A police report previously stated that cops reached the boat after reports that a distressed woman had possibly overdosed and “did not feel safe” onboard.
Several sex workers were said to have been discovered on the Jess Conn during the bust.

Burke was arrested on multiple charges of weapons and drug trafficking.
A search of the yacht allegedly turned up about 43 grams of cocaine, 14 grams of ketamine, a .380 pistol, three 30-round 9mm magazines, and a 12-round magazine in a 9mm pistol, according to the police report.
The 69-year-old doctor allegedly admitted that the guns belonged to him.

During a hearing last week, Burke’s attorney revealed that his client is suffering from terminal cancer and asked a judge not to jail him pending a trial.
“To have this man potentially spend the rest of his life waiting for a case in jail, to me, would be very, very tragic,” said Burke’s lawyer Henry Brennan.
Burke pleaded not guilty to all the charges and was released on bail.

Brennan said his client intended to return to Florida, where he owns a home, to be with his family.
Burke previously ran a rehabilitation clinic and is the founder of a Colorado-based medical insurance company.
His attorney said the surgeon and father of two volunteered in Haiti after the 2010 earthquakes and he completed more than 110 surgeries there.
