2023 Highfield Patrol 540
About This Yacht
The 2023 Highfield Patrol 540 is a 17.75-foot rigid inflatable designed for family cruising, commercial operations, and club use. Its deep-V hull, wide chines, and large-diameter tubes deliver responsive handling, high safety margins, and a dry ride in rough water. The boat planes easily on a single 115 hp Yamaha engine and cruises at 28 knots, making it economical for distance work.
Built on an aluminum frame, the Patrol 540 is engineered to carry substantial loads without sacrificing performance. The boat accommodates up to 12 persons and features a modular layout that can be customized for different operational needs—whether charter, teaching, harbor work, or commercial service.
The Patrol 540 combines toughness and reliability with practical day-boating capability, delivering both comfort in rough conditions and the durability demanded by professional use.
