FOUNTAINHEAD yacht interior

The interior of the FOUNTAINHEAD Yacht is designed by Sinot Yacht Design and Axel Vervoodt . She can comfortably accommodate 14 guests in 7 suites.

Although she is a famous superyacht, very few details are known about her interior, and there are no known interior images.

She closely resembles her near sister ship MUSASHI, owned by Larry Ellison, who also features interior design from Sinot with a minimalistic interior style and hints of art deco.

Sander Sinot has a background in industrial design and understands how to bring together amazing design elements down to every detail on the vessel.

FOUNTAINHEAD was designed to offer a family home on the water with an inviting interior, gym, contraflow swimming pool, and plenty of water toys and tenders for guests to enjoy a fun time.

Miami Yacht Watch: The glorious Fountainhead returns

Not owned by Mark Cuban but Sears CEO Eddie Lampert

A post shared by Buster Bark (@busterbark) on Jul 9, 2017 at 8:12am PDT

Miami is a common host for extravagant yachts at all times of the year. Track these magnificent vessels and their outlandish toys with Miami Yacht Watch , which typically runs weekly on Curbed Miami.

The 288-foot Fountainhead, which has been mistakingly tied to Dallas Mavericks owner and Shark Tank star Mark Cuban as its proprietor, has returned to Miami from Port Everglades.

Currently docked at Island Gardens Deep Harbour Marina on Watson Island, the extravagant superyacht valued at an estimated $130 million actually belongs to billionaire Sears CEO Eddie Lampert, who apparently tells people — in jest — Cuban is the owner, according to the New York Post .

“The guy who owns the boat tells everyone that it’s mine,” Cuban told Page Six. “It’s so crazy . . . I don’t even own a boat.”

Heightening the false rumor is the fact Fountainhead features a basketball hoop on its aft. The yacht is somehow only the 72nd largest in the world, per Boat International . Fountainhead is equipped to house 14 guests and additionally includes a library, a recreation room, a full gym and health club, and a contra-flow swimming pool.

Fountainhead

Motor Yacht

In the same year as superyacht Musashi, the 87.78 metre superyacht Fountainhead - sistership to Musashi - emerged from the Feadship facilities in The Netherlands. Known originally as Project #1003, Fountainhead was designed by De Voogt Naval Architects and Sinot Yacht Design, who also had a hand in the interior styling with Axel Vervoordt.

Blending art, antiques and sophistication, Fountainhead was created to offer a family home on the water with ample space. Key design features include a recreation room and library on the main deck, both of which can be converted into guest cabins to supplement the six existing guest suites and large owner’s stateroom, a fully-equipped gym and health club, contra-flow swimming pool and a world of toys and tenders on board.

Allowing for both size and shallow draft, Fountainhead can cruise the world with 14 guests on board with the highest level of crew service. She can reach impressive top speeds of 21 knots through dual MTU engines with 5766bhp, all in total comfort.
