2026 Highfield Patrol 540

The Highfield Patrol 540 is a 17.75-foot rigid inflatable built on an aluminum hull with a deep V design and wide chines. Powered by a single 115 hp Yamaha or Mercury engine, the boat combines modest horsepower with efficient planing performance and is rated to carry 12 persons. The large diameter tubes and hull shape deliver a smooth, dry ride in rough conditions while maintaining excellent maneuverability.

This model suits both family cruising and commercial or charter work, including teaching and harbor operations. The design handles heavy loads easily and planes quickly despite its modest power output, making it economical to operate. The modular construction allows for customized layouts tailored to specific uses.
