2026 Highfield Classic 290

The Highfield Classic 290 is a compact aluminum runabout built to carry four people, offering practical space and strong performance despite its modest size. At 9.5 feet long, it balances agility with durability, featuring a full-length keel guard and a payload capacity of 1,056 pounds. The aluminum construction keeps the boat lightweight and easy to manage, making it well suited for short trips and casual outings.

This tender performs efficiently with modest power—a single 20 hp engine is sufficient thanks to the weight savings of the aluminum hull. The high-quality finish and thoughtful design make it equally at home as a tow tender or as a day boat for beach excursions. The Classic 290 demonstrates that smaller boats need not compromise on build quality or capability.
