Originally named Nellie Claire, she has passed through the hands of some of the world's most notable owners, including Hollywood legend Shirley Temple Black, who renamed her Shirley B and transformed her into a floating palace of elegance.
Later owners, including Julian Tobias and Adam Abrams of "The Island" fame, Melbourne businessman Chris Reeve, and Sydney publican Jon Adgemis, continued to build on her legacy. With her Italian design, expansive entertainment spaces, and luxurious accommodations, Hiilani has remained a Harbour icon for nearly five decades.

"presenting exceptionally well for her age, this is an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of Sydney Harbour history--and at this stage, Hiilani is a unique buying opportunity. "
