2026 Highfield ADV9

The Highfield ADV9 is a 32-foot rigid inflatable designed by VOM Creations as an offshore-capable weekender that combines adventure performance with genuine living space. The design features a slide-on tube system positioned well above the waterline, which reduces weight forward, improves water deflection, and simplifies maintenance. A non-stepped hull enables trailering while maintaining confident handling in varied sea states, and the wide 10.6-foot beam supports a flush deck layout that maximizes usable space.

Power comes from twin 300 hp Mercury outboards, delivering 600 horsepower total. The boat runs at 50 knots top speed and carries a 119-gallon fuel tank, supporting a cruising range of up to 250 nautical miles. The non-stepped hull design ensures efficient fuel consumption and stable running characteristics across all conditions.

The cabin forward accommodates overnight berths and includes a galley and head, with heating or air-conditioning available. The expansive aft cockpit features a full U-shaped dinette, a drop-down backrest that extends the sunbed over the engine well with direct access to swim platforms, and a transverse galley with an additional drop-down bench. This layout transforms the boat into a genuine multi-season cruiser suited to extended New England boating seasons. High freeboard, direct swim platform access, and a wide flush deck enhance safety and usability in rough water.
