2026 Highfield Patrol 700

The Highfield Patrol 700 is a 23.6-foot rigid inflatable built for serious work and extended cruising. Its aluminum hull—constructed from 4 mm 5083 plates with 6 and 10 mm stringers—combines a deep V shape with wide chines and large-diameter tubes to deliver a stable, dry ride in heavy seas. The design prioritizes load capacity and rapid planing with modest power; a single 250 hp Yamaha or Mercury engine provides the propulsion.

The boat's modular construction allows for flexible layout configurations to suit different missions, whether family boating, charter operations, or commercial work. Long-range fuel capacity supports extended offshore range. The robust engineering and design philosophy emphasize safety, durability, and reliability in demanding conditions.
