Built by Feadship in 1986 and refit in 2014, the 162-foot Highlander yacht looks like the type Leonardo DiCaprio would lounge aboard with a bevy of supermodels surrounding him. In fact, Robert De Niro, Harrison Ford, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Liz Taylor, and HRH Prince Charles have all been guests. Able to accommodate 12 guests and 11 crew members, the vessel is available (for the first time) in the Mediterranean for charter this winter and summer.

According to the Highlander's official site, the yacht was originally built for entrepreneur Malcolm Forbes and has been seen as a symbol of successful businesses ever since—it was Forbes magazine's corporate yacht, after all. After new owners bought it, Highlander got a makeover that included an interior redesign across its seven staterooms and a hull lengthening.

With a disco and media room, a massage room, helipad, and an expansive collection of water toys (including two Yamaha VX Cruisers Waverunners and an eight-person inflatable rock-climbing wall), there are plenty of standout perks of chartering Highlander. Also included is a Donzi Classic tender that can seat 12, a Cigarette Classic racing boat, and a Boston Whaler 21.

Cruising at 12 knots (13.8mph) and topping off at 16 knots (18.4mph) , Highlander costs $210,000 per week to charter during high season (which covers July and August, as well as big events like the Monaco Grand Prix and the Cannes Film Festival), and $150,000 per week for the low season.
