2026 Highfield Patrol 700

The Highfield Patrol 700 is a 23.6-foot rigid inflatable built for serious offshore work and extended cruising. Its aluminum hull—constructed from 4 mm 5083 plates with 6 and 10 mm stringers—combines a deep V bottom with wide chines and oversized tubes to deliver a smooth, dry ride in rough conditions. The design prioritizes load capacity and maneuverability, allowing the boat to plane efficiently on a single 250 hp Yamaha or Mercury engine.

The modular construction lends itself to customization. Layouts can be tailored for family cruising, commercial operations, or charter service, with long-range fuel capacity supporting extended passages. The robust build quality and straightforward engineering make this a capable platform for demanding work in challenging waters.
