Measuring 288 feet, the Cayman Island-registered Fountainhead boasts four decks, a sonar and radar tower, as well as half-court basketball court onboard. Purchased in 2012, the boat is a sister ship to Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's Musashi, according to a recent Forbes article.

Cuban also owns Landmark Theaters and Magnolia Pictures but gained fame as owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. Known for his outspoken criticism of the league and his popularity among players, Cuban has become one of the most recognized owners in all of sports. Additionally, he also serves as a judge on the ABC entrepreneurial show "Shark Tank."

It is unclear as to whether Cuban is currently on board and why the ship has remained anchored here since early June.

On the reality show "Shark Tank," budding entrepreneurs get the chance to bring their dreams to fruition. They present their ideas to the sharks in the tank -- five titans of industry. Each contestant tries to persuade one of the sharks to invest in their idea.
