2023 Highfield Classic 260

This 2023 Highfield Classic 260 is a compact rigid inflatable boat built on an aluminum hull, measuring 8'6" in length. The boat combines aluminum construction with three air chambers for buoyancy and stability, making it suitable for yacht tender work, dinghy use, marina runabout service, or recreational family outings. A full-length keel guard protects the hull during beach landings and dock use.

The open layout seats three persons plus one, with a maximum load capacity of approximately 794 pounds and a 15 HP maximum power rating. The flat deck and practical design support short trips, anchorage runs, beach-hopping, and general water transport. The lightweight aluminum hull and tube design make launching and handling straightforward compared to heavier fiberglass alternatives.

Highfield's build centers on durable aluminum construction paired with quality tube design. The warranty program covers tube materials for up to 10 years on ORCA Hypalon models or 5 years on Valmex PVC models, with a separate 5-year limited hull structure warranty beginning from the purchase date.
