Yes, it's true, according to Le Journal de Montreal... Read it here (in French, sorry):

Quickly, here's the story: the author of the article was in Mustique with a friend who is a scuba diving instructor. They saw a 75 meter long grey ship who looked like a converted fishing boat and were very excited because the name was Calypso. So they thought it was the famous scientific ship of the late captain Cousteau... Very hopeful, they asked to visit. Coincidentally, it began raining abundantly, so the skipper let them in. Big surprise: no diving equipment, no mini submarine, no sonar... But luxury living quarters, with mahogany floorboards, exotic but tasteful furniture, and Mick's piano in his private dining room.
They were told the ship was indeed a former fisherboat, converted in a luxury private yacht in Philipinas, for about 20 million US$. All the better to fool the paparazzis, I guess!
