2026 Highfield Patrol 540

The Highfield Patrol 540 is a 17.75-foot aluminum rigid inflatable built for both recreational cruising and commercial or professional work. Its deep V hull design combined with wide chines and large-diameter tubes delivers predictable handling, a soft ride in rough water, and proven seaworthiness. The boat planes readily on modest power and carries substantial loads, making it equally at home on family outings or extended distance passages.

Powered by a single 115-horsepower Yamaha gasoline engine, the Patrol 540 is rated to carry up to 12 persons. The modular construction allows for flexible interior layouts tailored to different uses—whether charter operations, harbor work, training, or private cruising. The combination of hull design and construction prioritizes durability and low-speed economy alongside capable performance.
