Spotted off Cape Elizabeth “I took this shot from my daughter’s balcony when I visited her in Miami,” Blackwood says of Cocktails. “So imagine my excitement when I saw the same yacht floating into my world last summer.” –Jill Blackwood Toast of the Town Sleek and dashing, Cocktails was built in 2004 for auto-dealer Gene Reed, who named her Chevy Toy. But she’s nobody’s toy. The 157-foot super yacht was bought and refitted in 2012 by Tom Murphy, founder of Coastal Construction and father of former Florida State Representative Patrick Murphy. Murphy, Jr. received a backlash in the media after he celebrated Fourth of July 2016 in Nantucket aboard Cocktails while Florida was in the midst of a toxic algae outbreak. Cocktails was put on sale for $18.5 million later that year.

She snapped this picture as the 287-foot super yacht maneuvered to her mooring off Bug Light Park. Cuban, the billionaire Dallas Maver- icks owner and co-shark on CNBC’s Shark Tank, is often asked about his extravagant floating empire, which features a basket- ball court on the stern. The thing is, Cu- ban says, it’s not exactly his boat. Here he is with open-email answers on the gossip site Page Six, according to Boston Magazine: “I don’t own a yacht. Never have,” Cu- ban writes. “The guy who owns the boat tells everyone that it’s mine. It’s so crazy. I got a letter from someone thanking me be- cause the ship’s doctor had saved this per- son with CPR. I’ve had people email me asking if they can come aboard. Of course, I always say yes. I DON’T OWN A YACHT.” Roger that. The real owner is Eddie Lampert, CEO of Sears department store, Boston Magazine continues. But there comes a point when you have to admit, Mark, if you keep chartering it, you own it. Fountainhead’s home port is in Miami, where she’s tied up to a skyscraper and tour boats identify her as Cuban’s. Cocktails Fountainhead
