2026 Highfield Classic 260

The Highfield Classic 260 is a compact rigid inflatable built on an aluminum hull with welded seams and a high-tensile chromated and powder-coated frame. At 8 feet 6 inches long with a 5-foot 7-inch beam, it weighs just 119 pounds and accommodates up to three passengers plus one child, with a maximum payload of 794 pounds. The boat features three air chambers with 17-inch tube diameters and a 10.5-degree deadrise.

Standard equipment includes ORCA Hypalon or PVC tube construction, a bow cushion, bow locker sized for a 24-liter fuel tank, and a brushed foam teak finish deck. The aluminum hull is reinforced with a full-length keel guard and heavy-duty rubbing strake, while the transom incorporates integrated supports for outboard mounting. Lifting points and towing eyes are integrated throughout.

The boat comes with a removable seat, foot pump, oars, and repair kit. A tow bridle is included with dedicated bridle points, and the package features a Highfield dry bag and tank strap kit. The portable fuel tank mounts to the transom, and the interior provides 5 feet 9 inches of length and 2 feet 7 inches of beam for the usable cabin space. Power options accommodate outboards up to 15 horsepower.
