2025 Highfield Classic 290

The 2025 Highfield Classic 290 is a rigid inflatable tender built for both comfort and durability. Its double-deck hull design keeps occupants dry, while the composite aluminum hull at 2.5mm thickness paired with full-length keel guards makes it well-suited for beach work and casual cruising. The tube construction uses 1100 dtex-coated fabric with ORCA® Hypalon or PVC options, and the lightweight build enables strong performance even with smaller engines while maintaining excellent payload capacity.

The boat features a self-draining deck with brushed foam teak finish, a bow locker sized to accommodate a 24-liter fuel tank, and removable seating. Standard equipment includes integrated transom supports, lifting and towing points, a heavy-duty rubbing strake, and a tow bridle system. A tank strap kit, under-seat storage bag, and dry bag are provided.

Onboard essentials come as standard: foot pump, oars, and repair kit. Welded seams on the PVC tubes and flush-mount non-return valves support durability in regular use. The hull features high tensile chromate and powder coating for corrosion resistance.
