Newly imported into Australia for Whitsunday Rent a Yacht’s bareboat fleet, the Highland 35 is a trawler style catamaran perfectly suited for bareboating. It packs far more room into a 35 footer than expected, with a spacious flybridge and downstairs saloon and aft deck easily capable of accommodating the whole crew comfortably.

While not the prettiest boat on the water, the Highland 35, with her twin cat hulls is larger than your average 35 footer. With berths for six and a head taking up both hulls, the large central area doubles as living area and downstairs steering station. Though with a large flybridge, complete with enormous sunlounge, the lower steering station will rarely be used in the balmy climate of the Whitsundays.

Marinas and harbours in the region include Meridien Marinas Abel Point, Hamilton Island Marina and Shute Harbour where Whitsunday Rent a Yacht are based.

We adore: Roomy flybridge with space for half a dozen adults easily (a rare feat for a 34 footer)

We abhor: Bareboaters who act like idiots in anchorages: Please don’t anchor on top of other boats anchor chain. Please!
