Overview

HIGHLANDER is a 49.5m (162ft) motor yacht built by Feadship in 1986 (refit 2025). She welcomes 12 guests in 6 cabins with a crew of 11, and charters in East Mediterranean, West Mediterranean, Caribbean. Weekly charter rates start from $170,000 plus expenses.

For this first time in history, the legendary 49.45m Feadship M/Y HIGHLANDER will be available for charter in the CARIBBEAN this winter & in the MEDITERRANEAN this Summer.

Originally built for Malcolm Forbes by De Vries in 1986, the Bannenberg design Feadship was long seen as one of the best-known symbols of big business, cruising the east coast of the USA as a corporate yacht for Forbes magazine.

Recently purchased by her new owners, HIGHLANDER (ex The Highlander) underwent a comprehensive refit at Derecktor Florida including a full interior relook, lengthening of the hull, major mechanicals and full paint job. From Liz Taylor, Robert De Niro and Harrison Ford to Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and HRH Prince Charles, the guest lists for The Highlander read like a who’s who of the world’s glamorous movie stars and heads of state.

Today, HIGHLANDER offers well-appointed accommodations for 12 charter guests in 7 staterooms. Timeless styling, original pop art works, beautiful furnishings and sumptuous interior features throughout her living areas to create an elegant and comfortable atmosphere. HIGHLANDER'S impressive leisure and entertainment facilities make her the ideal charter yacht for socialising and entertaining family and friends.
