The iconic Forbes yacht The Highlander gets a new lease on life.

Fort Lauderdale is usually an opportunity for some refit work, and the local marine industries have successfully made the case that improvements to infrastructure and waterway access are a priority. This summer, major work started on both public and private property to offer larger yachts access to local refit facilities.

This American beauty needs no introduction. At her Fort Lauderdale debut, she hosted a steady flow of admirers and visitors who wanted to see if the long-awaited new queen of the American yachtbuilding industry. She is the largest yacht built in the United States since the 1930s and everyone wanted to see if she had hit her marks.
