HIGHLANDER

Iconic, not subtle. HIGHLANDER is a 49.45m (162ft) Feadship built in 1986 and refit in 2021, with Jon Bannenberg’s angular profile and that instantly recognizable green hull. She sleeps 12 guests in 7 cabins, so bigger groups can spread out without turning the yacht into a bunkroom.

Outdoor living wins. A large swim platform and a beach club make water time easy, not a production. Add stabilizers at anchor and underway, and you get a calmer base for long lunches, lazy afternoons, and the occasional “just five more minutes in the water.”

Proper downtime options. There’s a deck jacuzzi, plus spa and gym facilities for guests who want something other than another nap. Also onboard: a movie theatre and dance floor. Good. Simple.

Toys that get used. The lineup includes a 42ft Scout tender, Yamaha WaveRunners, SeaBobs, an e-foil/foilboard, paddleboards, kayaks, towables, wakeboard, water-skis, kneeboard, and snorkel gear, which means the day can stay busy without repeating the same two activities.

Cabins with logic. The master stateroom is on deck and has two private bathrooms, with six additional guest suites each with en-suite. The full arrangement includes a master, VIP, two doubles, two twins, and one single.
