This is The Highlander

Arguably the most famous and most photographed Feadship of all time, Malcolm Forbes’s fifth yacht called The Highlander broke the mould. Although Azteca was the styling nexus, The Highlander was bigger and more extreme. Her winglike, dark green superstructure and dramatic glass upper deck providing endless views became a Manhattan icon. The boat was built to wow, court and entertain, and Bannenberg’s interior was all about flow whether there were six or sixty guests. Among the special features were the toy garage for Harley-Davidson motorcycles and the helipad, still a rarity in those days, that straddles the observation deck.
