“If a client asks me for a yacht that simply gets it right, HIGHLANDER is usually my first call. With space for 12 guests, she works equally well for a multi-generational family week or a tighter group of friends who want every cabin to feel like a suite. Happy to walk you through a week on board personally — there are a few details that don't make it onto any spec sheet.”
Accommodation
6 elegantly appointed cabins host up to 12 in serene comfort, served by a professional crew of 11.
Indicative layout based on 6 cabins / 12 guests. Final cabin configuration confirmed by the yacht's manager at enquiry.
