2026 Highfield ADV7

The Highfield ADV7 is a 23-foot fiberglass RIB that combines the safety and buoyancy of traditional tube design with the interior volume and performance of a center console. Developed in collaboration with naval architect Andrej Justin and design studios VOM Creations and Alpha Studio, this is Highfield's first fiberglass hull and the flagship of a new Adventure line. Slim 13-inch Hypalon tubes mount high above the waterline, reducing drag and noise while preserving an interior beam of 6 feet 7 inches—unusual for a boat this size and class. The deep-V fiberglass hull with 20-degree deadrise delivers a dry ride through chop and gives the helm a direct, responsive feel that aluminum alternatives cannot match.

A Mercury 250 Verado V-8 with hydraulic power steering propels the 2,866 lb. boat. The engine delivers strong acceleration and effortless cruising in the mid-30-knot range, backed by Mercury's service and support network. The design is light enough to tow behind a family SUV.

The layout centers on a full-length console with twin sports-style seats, wraparound glass windshield, and a galley sink. A U-shaped dinette aft converts to a sunpad or opens to the swim platforms. The bow carries a second large sundeck for additional social space. Equipment includes a refrigerator, hydraulic rear table with pedestal, windlass, shower, portable toilet, and a Gold Series stereo with four speakers. An electric sunshade completes a specification typically found on boats considerably larger.
