Retired doc busted with drugs, guns and women aboard 80-foot party yacht off Nantucket has terminal cancer
Possible overdose victim was crew member, not prostitute, lawyer says.
Coast Guard rescues 3 people off Nantucket
Coast Guard crews responded to the sinking of a fishing vessel.
Florida Dr. Scott Anthony Burke, the 69-year-old yachtsman who police say they busted with more than 40 grams of cocaine and 14 grams of ketamine last week, was holding a party on board a boat last week as he faces terminal cancer, according to his lawyer.
"To have this man potentially spend the rest of his life waiting for a case in jail, to me, would be very, very tragic," the lawyer said, in reference to his client's illness.
Burke is facing drug and gun charges after police boarded his vessel last week in response to a report of a woman possibly overdosing. In the bedroom with the woman, they found cocaine and a pistol, and a search warrant allegedly turned up a substantial amount of drugs and another gun which the doctor didn't have a license for.
His attorney Henry Brennan told the Nantucket Current that additional allegations from an anonymous law enforcement source that prostitutes were on board is "disgusting" slander.
FLORIDA MAN BUSTED WITH GUNS, DRUGS AND ‘PROSTITUTES’ IN LUXE NANTUCKET YACHT RAID
Police searched the 80-foot Nordhavn yacht Jess Conn Tuesday, Sept. 5, and allegedly recovered a stash of cocaine in a safe, ketamine and unlicensed handguns. Its owner, Dr. Scott Burke, was arrested. (@kitnoble/@nantucketcurrent, Inset: Scott Burke/LinkedIn)
The woman on board was a friend of Burke's hired captain, Brennan told the paper, and a staff member.
"There was a party on the boat, and [Burke] was spending time with friends," he said. "As we suggested, the boat is large. He has a captain. He has staff. There was a cook. And sometimes there are people who serve as staff waiters, cleaners and things like that."
Police responded to Burke's boat, the Jess Conn, last Tuesday after an unidentified reporting party called their non-emergency dispatch line. Burke's 80-foot Nordhavn trawler has been visible in Nantucket Harbor for days after his arrest.
When first responders arrived in the master bedroom to look at the victim, they spotted a bag of cocaine on the nightstand and a loaded pistol on a bookshelf, according to the incident report.

After obtaining a search warrant, police went back and say they recovered 43.4 grams of cocaine and 14.1 grams of ketamine.
Neither Burke nor his attorney could immediately be reached for comment.
The doctor was one of the first international doctors to reach Haiti in 2010 following a devastating earthquake and performed more than 100 surgeries there, his lawyer told the judge at his bail hearing, according to the Current.

A source close to the investigation reportedly told the Nantucket Current that authorities also encountered prostitutes on board, but police have not confirmed that claim, and court records do not show any prostitution-related charges against Burke.
"That's certainly not in my press release," Lt. Angus MacVicar, the Nantucket Police Department's public information officer, told Fox News Digital.
Burke allegedly told police he had a license for the handguns — but police said his Florida license was not only invalid in Massachusetts, it expired last year. He now faces a dozen gun and drug charges and was released on $200,000 bail.

Public records show Burke obtained his medical license in Colorado in 1981. It was last renewed in 2019. He has owned at least two other large vessels over the years, 90 and 58 feet long, also named Jess Conn.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Burke also founded a medical lien service firm called Injury Finance in 2003 and as a physician specialized in spine rehab and pain. His bio said he retired from active medical practice.
The investigation remains ongoing, but police declined to comment on potential additional charges.

The retired doctor who was arrested after police found drugs, guns, and alleged sex workers on his 80-foot yacht in Nantucket Harbor last week has late-stage cancer, his attorney said in a recent hearing. A judge ruled last Thursday that Scott Burke , 69, was not a danger to the community, and would not be held in what might have been a lengthy pre-trial detention. His lawyer, Henry Brennan, had argued before the judge that Burke—who he said is afflicted with stage-4 terminal cancer—does not have long to live. “To have this man potentially spend the rest of his life waiting for a case in jail, to me, would be very, very tragic,” Brennan said, according to the Nantucket Current . The attorney did not say what kind of cancer Burke is battling. A harbor captain told the New York Post that he had given a lift to two people delivering what he called “cancer medication” to Burke’s yacht last Wednesday, the day after his arrest. The pair seemed to return with “more stuff than they went out with,” the captain said, without elaborating.

How to Plan a Yacht Party: Dos and Don’ts
Home » How to Plan a Yacht Party: Dos and Don’ts
Table of Contents
There’s something undeniably glamorous about a yacht party. It’s a unique blend of freedom, luxury, and natural beauty, creating an unforgettable experience. However charming and fun as it may sound, planning a yacht party requires meticulous attention to detail. This blog post aims to help you navigate the waves and devise the perfect plan to host a memorable yacht party.
Following this guide, avoid common pitfalls and ensure your yacht party is smooth sailing.
Understanding What a Yacht Party Entails
A yacht party is more than just a gathering at sea. It’s a chance to escape the ordinary and immerse yourself in a unique, luxurious setting. With the ocean as your backdrop and the sky as your ceiling, a yacht party offers unparalleled freedom and exclusivity. Whether it’s a birthday party, corporate event, or simply a gathering of friends, a yacht party can be a perfect setting for a memorable event.
There are many elements involved that differ from planning a regular party. For example , you must consider factors such as marine safety, yacht size and capacity, weather conditions, and, in some cases, maritime laws. Proper planning ensures a memorable experience for your guests and allows you to handle unforeseen circumstances.
The Planning Stage
The initial planning phase is crucial for a successful yacht party. This process involves several critical decisions that can shape your event.
A. Setting the Budget
Just like any event, a yacht party begins with setting a budget. Your budget will dictate the size of the yacht, the type of food and drinks, the decor, and the entertainment. Factors that come into play include the yacht rental cost, catering services, DJ or live music, decorations, and insurance coverage.
Once you have a clear idea of these costs, you can balance your budget, making necessary adjustments to ensure you spend your money wisely. Remember, a memorable yacht party doesn’t necessarily mean an extravagant one; it’s all about meticulous planning and intelligent spending.
B. Choosing the Right Yacht
The yacht is the centerpiece of your party. Factors such as the number of guests, event type, and budget will guide your choice. Do you want a sporty, fast yacht for a small gathering or a large, luxurious one for a bigger crowd?
Yacht rental companies usually have a wide variety of options. Consider involving professionals in your selection process to ensure the yacht meets your needs and complies with safety standards.
C. Setting the Date and Time
Choosing the date and time of your event involves more than just your personal preference. You’ll also need to consider the local weather and sea conditions. The time of day can also affect the atmosphere of your event.
A sunset cruise, for instance, could provide a stunning backdrop for a more romantic or laid-back party. Always have a backup plan in case of unexpected weather changes; your yacht rental company can often guide you on this.
The Invitation Essentials
There are a few “ must haves ” for a party like this including:
An Appealing Guest List
A yacht party is typically an intimate event due to the limited space, so consider who you’d like to invite. Curate a guest list that will create a harmonious and enjoyable atmosphere. A good mix of family, close friends, and colleagues works well.
Deciding on the Appropriate Number of Guests
The number of guests is equally as crucial to your yacht choice. Consider the yacht’s capacity when deciding on your guest list. An overcrowded boat can quickly become uncomfortable and could pose safety risks.
Designing and Sending out Invitations
Once you’ve settled on your guest list, it’s time to send out invitations. As this is a “event”, consider adding a touch of maritime flair to your invitations to build excitement. You can also use the invitation to inform your guests about the dress code, expected weather, and any activities you have planned.
RSVP follow-up process
It’s essential to have a precise count of who will be attending, so make sure you request RSVPs on your invitations and follow up with any guests you have yet to hear from as the date approaches.
Themes and Decorations
Choosing a theme adds a fun element and provides a guide for your decorations, food choices, and even the dress code. A well-chosen piece can tie everything together and make your party more memorable.
Some popular themes include tropical luau , nautical, white party, and old Hollywood glamour. When choosing a theme, consider what fits your style and would appeal to your guests.
Sourcing and Setting Up Decorations
Once you’ve chosen a theme, you can start sourcing decorations. While the yacht is already quite a spectacle, adding thoughtful decor can elevate the ambiance. Consider table decorations, lighting effects, and a focal point such as a decorated archway or photo backdrop. Check with your yacht rental company about any restrictions for setting up decorations.
Food and Drink
Food and drink are at the heart of any party. When planning your menu, consider the duration of the party, the time of day, and your guests’ dietary preferences and restrictions. For a yacht party, it’s typically best to serve dishes that can be enjoyed while mingling, such as finger foods or a buffet.
While hiring a caterer can ease a lot of stress, it might only fit into some budgets. If you decide to take care of the food yourself, plan dishes that can be prepared beforehand to minimize stress on the day of the party.
The Role of a Professional Caterer
A professional caterer can provide expert advice on menu choices, handle all prep work, and maintain food safety. Some caterers even offer serving staff to take care of your guests during the party.
Decide if you will offer an open bar, a cash bar, or a combination. An open bar, while more generous, will increase your costs. A cash bar, where guests pay for their drinks, can help keep your budget under control. Consider a combination approach, such as offering a selection of free drinks and charging for premium beverages.
Entertainment plays a crucial role in setting the tone of the event—options for entertainment range from live music and DJs to interactive games. You could also consider a dance floor if space permits. Creating a playlist of background music for a more relaxed event might be all you need.
If you’re considering hiring a DJ or a live band, consider the space available on the yacht and your guests’ musical preferences. You’ll also need to check with the yacht company regarding any sound restrictions or requirements for power sources.
Games can be a great icebreaker, especially if all your guests don’t know each other. Ensure any games you plan are suitable for the yacht environment and won’t pose any safety risks. You could also consider other interactive activities, like a photo booth with props, or even hiring a magician or other entertainer for some onboard amusement.
Safety Precautions: Be Safe Onboard
While a yacht party is all about fun, it’s vital to recognize safety. Ensure that the yacht is equipped with enough life vests for everyone and that the crew is prepared to handle emergencies. Sharing safety information with your guests before setting sail is also a good idea.
General Safety Guidelines
Some general safety guidelines include not overloading the yacht, avoiding risky behavior like pushing people into the water, and being cautious with alcohol consumption to prevent accidents. If children are present, consider having extra supervision to ensure they stay safe.
Dealing with Seasickness and Other Potential Health Concerns
Even if the weather looks calm, guests may still experience seasickness. It’s a good idea to have seasickness remedies available. Also, if your party lasts for several hours, ensure there’s a space where guests can rest if they’re feeling unwell. Keep a first aid kit handy, and remember to cater to any special dietary needs to prevent allergic reactions or other food-related issues.
A. Critical Dos to Ensure a Memorable Yacht Party
- Do communicate effectively with your guests about the event details, including the dress code, potential weather conditions, and any other relevant information.
- Ensure your guests know where the safety equipment is stored and understand the basic safety rules. Do have a backup plan in case of bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
- Ensure your guests have enough food, drinks, and amenities like clean restrooms and shaded areas.
- Remember to respect the maritime laws and regulations, and remind your guests to do the same.
B. Crucial Don’ts to Avoid Mishaps and Discomfort
- Don’t overcrowd the yacht; ensure you’re within the capacity limit for a comfortable and safe event.
- Don’t ignore the your guests needs and preferences, especially concerning food allergies or dietary restrictions. Their comfort is important.
- Don’t forget to clean up after the party. Leave the yacht as you found it out of respect for the company and the environment.
Get to Planning!
Planning a yacht party may require significant work and attention to detail, but the result is well worth it. With the sound of the waves as your soundtrack and the open sea as your backdrop, it can be a unique and unforgettable experience. Following these guidelines ensures a smooth and enjoyable time that your guests will remember for years.
So, take the helm and start planning your perfect yacht party!
Remember, a successful event is not just about impeccable planning but also about your ability to adapt and handle unforeseen circumstances gracefully. So keep a positive attitude, embrace any surprises along the way, and remember to enjoy the party too. You’ve earned it!
Happy sailing!

How to Host a Yacht Party
Last Updated on September 29, 2023 by Boatsetter Team
A yacht party is a fantastic change of pace from dinner at a restaurant or a backyard cookout. Yachting isn’t a common thing for a lot of people, so there’s a natural excitement built into the event, even if the boat never leaves the dock. All you have to do as the host is play into that vibe, and you’ve got yourself a successful event.
Discover yacht rentals near you— Only at Boatsetter
One of the best things you can do when inviting guests to a yacht party is to inform them in advance about general etiquette aboard a boat. Friends who are landlubbers will not know, for instance, that it’s customary to leave your shoes in a dock box before boarding a boat.
Tell them ahead of time that their feet will be on display so they can get a pedicure, buy a cool pair of socks or invest in a little toe jewelry to feel comfortable throughout the party. They’ll also appreciate the pro tip of wearing shoes that are easy to slide on and off without having to sit down and deal with laces or straps.
And, for yacht parties during the day, encourage your guests to dress for the sun. Have sunscreen on board to use, and offer helpful suggestions like bringing a hat, a light shirt to cover easy-burn spots like shoulders and the back of the neck, and perhaps linen pants or a sarong for legs that don’t see the sun too often. Polarized sunglasses also help stay comfortable throughout the day on board.
Think bigger-picture about how people should dress: if your yacht party is during the day, then your guests might bring a small bag of clothes for later; you’ll need a place on the yacht to put those bags. Your yacht party may extend into the night, which means there could be a big swing in the temperature, so encourage guests to bring clothing that can be layered on and off.

If the party will include the boat leaving the dock, then advise your guests about the golden rule of remaining upright: one hand for you, one hand for the boat. Yes, you can carry a plate of hors d’oeuvres or a cocktail in one hand, but whenever the boat moves, you always want one hand free to grab a rail, a handhold, or anything else you might need to steady yourself. Helping new boaters stay safe underway should be priority one!
In terms of hosting, think about serving a steady array of finger foods instead of a big, sit-down meal. The little stuff is easier to store and cook quickly, and it’s a better option to offer people a variety of foods if the boat is moving since some people may be a bit more sensitive than others.
Skip the things that come on skewers (those little sticks never end up in the trash, and they can poke bare feet if they end up on deck ). Instead, think about crudites, bruschetta bites, and boneless wings that leave no refuse behind.
Also, have soft drinks such as ginger ale and lemon-lime soda on hand to help soothe any bouts of seasickness . Ginger is another well-regarded remedy and can be served as a chewable or in a cup of iced tea.
Sometimes, yacht parties are themed, with everything from steel-drum players to belly dancers aboard for entertainment. Swim parties are, of course, a go-to favorite, as are “Under the Sea” parties with a seafood spread. You can go with a color, or a lack thereof, such as an all-white party, or encourage people to wear Hawaiian shirts for a Polynesian night .
Music is a must. So don’t forget to create a playlist to go with your theme. It’s hard to go wrong with boating standbys such as Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, and the Beach Boys. More than a few great singalongs have started with “Rock the Boat” by the Hues Corporation or “Banana Boat (Day-O)” by Harry Belafonte.
Yes, that last suggestion is about as polar opposite as you can get from “Under the Sea,” but that’s the beauty of a yacht party. It can be anything you want it to be.
Best of all: you don’t need to own a yacht to throw a party on one. You can rent a yacht for a half-day or full-day and host your party on the rental instead! If you happen to be one of the lucky few who own a yacht, you can list it and rent it out to the large market made up of people daydreaming about their day out on a yacht or hosting their own yacht party.
Boatsetter is a unique boat-sharing platform that gives everyone— whether you own a boat or you’re just renting — the chance to experience life on the water. You can list a boat , book a boat , or make money as a captain .

Highly recommend! Incredibly fun! Easy to operate boat. Great staff will help you! Totally worth it!
I saw a sponsored ad on Instagram for this and immediately sent it to my friends. 5 of us booked a tub for a Sunday afternoon in July. Patricia and Chris were super welcoming and accommodating. The pre-trip lounge was swanky. My group was concerned about the tub water being too hot on a hot day... but Patricia assured us they take this into account and strive to make the temperature perfect - and she was right! The temp was truly perfect. We had so much fun cruising up and down the willamette listening to our playlist on the tub's Bluetooth speaker. This trip really exceeded our expectations and we would recommend for any group wanting to try something one-of-a-kind!
Captain on the stern side of the boat
Your own private river boat party fiesta - what's not to love? Yacht Tubs makes for a fun, memorable easy-going-Wednesday or even a fun birthday party idea. We had a crew of 5, with plenty of space to drink and take in the gorgeous bridge views. The driving is novice level, and takes about 5 minutes to get the hang of. I love the Bluetooth speaker and the water stayed warm and comfortable during the entire two hours. Yacht Tubs has a great cute indoor space when you first arrive, with plenty of room to change, get comfortable, and store anything valuable before getting on board. We had the river all to ourselves on a slightly drizzly cloudy day - which ended up being pretty perfect for tubbin'.
GREAT EXPERIENCE! Fun and professional staff! We will be back! The staff made sure we had a great time and most importantly that we were safe!
Definitely a 10/10 experience! We were a group of 6 and had such a great time. The staff were super friendly and welcoming as soon as we came into the shop to check in. They gave us a run down of rules and things to expect and everything was said very thoroughly. The whole process was so smooth from checking us in and walking us into the dock. We had such a great time in the hot tub with our drinks, snacks, and our music connected to the boat's speaker. We will definitely do this again and recommend it to all our friends! I would definitely suggest getting to the shop to check in at least 20 minutes before your booked time (as stated in booking details) since other people in our party came late and we didn't get to have the full 2 hours but that was our fault. :)
Absolutely lovely! So fun and warm. Staff was super sweet and informative. It was a beautiful experience!
I have never had so much fun on the Willamette River! Holy smokes! Yacht Tubs is where it's at. We had so much fun. Clear expectations, a welcoming staff, and a fun time. The temp of the water was perfect. The music system was bumpin'. We watched the Christmas Ships under the stars with the Portland skyline in the background. MAGICAL! Hil and Chris were so helpful and friendly and made the experience so much better. Hot cocoa at the made everything perfect! This is our new holiday tradition! Thank you!
I loved this experience!! I had the most amazing time with Portland yachttub yesterday! Spending the day with my group of friends, soaking in the hot tub while enjoying the stunning views of the city was a perfect weekend activity. The hot tub stayed warm the whole time and driving the boat was not as difficult as expected. Definitely a fun and memorable way to spend a sunny day. I highly recommend Portland Yachttub to anyone looking for a unique and exciting adventure on the water! The changing rooms were so cute and the staff were so friendly!
My husband, friend, teenage son, and I booked a Yacht Tub on the last night of our 2 week Oregon vacation and the experience was a clear highlight of the vacation! Our booking was for 6-8pm on a Wednesday night in August. We arrived about 20mins early, as requested. There was ample parking nearby, reasonably priced. The Yacht Tub Club was easy to find - it was clean, well-equipped, and comfy. Allie greeted us and gave us a run-down of what to expect, and then gave us time to change and lock up our belongings. We brought a small cooler of drinks and a paper bag full of snacks - Allie gave us a soft cooler for the snacks since the paper bags tend to get wet and break (yep - we weren't thinking!). At the dock, Sean greeted us, helped us onto the boat, helped us connect our phone to the Bluetooth speaker, and gave my husband clear and easy instructions on how to control the boat. Allie and Sean gathered our coverups in an IKEA bag and our shoes in a bucket and loaded them into the dry storage area of the boat, along with our beverages and snacks. There was also a small dry box on the boat for phone storage with easy access (for taking photos and changing the music). Then we were off! We cruised down to Broadway Bridge, enjoying the unique view of Portland. Unfortunately, the steering went out when we got to Broadway Bridge and we were unable to navigate back. We called Allie at the number that was clearly provided on a laminated piece of paper. The first thing Allie asked was "Do we feel safe/are we in a safe location?" She shared that Sean would be down to help us ASAP and tow us if needed. Sean arrived and towed us back to the dock area - he was very professional and friendly, we enjoyed talking with him. When we arrived to the dock area, he gave us the option to drop anchor or tie to the dock to enjoy the rest of our 2hr time. Despite the minor hiccup, we still enjoyed our full 2hrs thanks to Allie and Sean being extremely professional, accommodating, and friendly. We highly recommend this experience and hope to do it again the next time we are in Portland!

We truly had a great time and would try this again someday for sure! The only issue was that our boat would not respond to the controls at all and would only turn left in circles no matter what we tried. E still enjoyed it and stayed close to the dock, but eventually we did have to call to get towed back in by the owner. They were very kind and responsive and getting towed back was easy, just wish the boat had worked so we could have explored the river a bit more.

The party yacht of the retired doctor who was busted for drugs and guns played host to a weekend of porno filming, according to a newly obtained police document that revealed more details about the salacious case.
Authorities raided Scott Burke’s 82-foot vessel, the Jess Conn , on Sept. 5 after they were notified by a man whose female friend was on the boat and called him over FaceTime, the Nantucket Current reported, citing the Nantucket Police Department’s application for a search warrant used in the case.
The woman allegedly told the male friend that “they were doing drugs all weekend long and people on the boat had been making pornographic films,” according to documents that shed more light on the wild party.
Authorities responded after the man reportedly told police he thought his friend overdosed because the woman told him she wanted to leave the boat before she passed out and the call was dropped.
The drugs used aboard the Jess Conn included ketamine, Adderall, ecstasy and cocaine, the unidentified man told authorities.
A police report previously stated that police reached the Jess Conn after reports that a distressed woman had possibly overdosed and “did not feel safe” onboard.
Several prostitutes were also on the yacht, sources previously told the Current.
Burke, 69, was arrested in Nantucket Harbor on drug trafficking and weapons charges after cops found a trove of guns and hard drugs on the luxurious yacht.
When police initially tried to talk with the married father, he was “extremely uncooperative” and was placed in handcuffs and detained due to his behavior, police said in an affidavit obtained by the local outlet.
He told officers that the woman who overdosed had been working for him for only a few weeks and that her female friend was also staying on the boat, according to the outlet.
The former doctor initially denied knowing that illegal drugs were on the yacht, and the two women also denied they were aware of illegal drugs, though one of them claimed she had a prescription for Adderall.
A search of the yacht allegedly uncovered 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.
Multiple rounds of ammo were also found on the yacht’s bedroom floor, the report added.
Burke, whose lawyer said he has terminal cancer , allegedly admitted the firearms were his.
He told police he had a license to carry, but authorities said he had a license to carry in Florida and it expired in September 2022, the Current reported.
He posted $200,000 following his arrest.
He pleaded not guilty to the drug and gun raps.
Burke, who has homes in Florida and Colorado, previously ran a spine and rehabilitation clinic, online records show.
He founded Injury Finance, a Colorado-based medical insurance company that provides lien services for third-party liability claims, about two decades ago, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Nantucketers are in hysterics over Scott Burke's arrest for drug trafficking but are alarmed that he had weapons on board his 82-foot yacht — which is now shunned by the marina.
Porn was being filmed onboard a retired doctor's party yacht before cops swooped and arrested him on suspicion of drug and gun charges, according to new police documents. Scott Burke, 69, was released on a $200,000 bail last week after his lawyer told Plymouth Court that he has terminal stage four cancer - and just months to live.
A. Setting the Budget. Just like any event, a yacht party begins with setting a budget. Your budget will dictate the size of the yacht, the type of food and drinks, the decor, and the entertainment. Factors that come into play include the yacht rental cost, catering services, DJ or live music, decorations, and insurance coverage.

If the party will include the boat leaving the dock, then advise your guests about the golden rule of remaining upright: one hand for you, one hand for the boat. Yes, you can carry a plate of hors d'oeuvres or a cocktail in one hand, but whenever the boat moves, you always want one hand free to grab a rail, a handhold, or anything else you ...
