2026 Highfield Patrol 860

The Highfield Patrol 860 is a 28-foot rigid inflatable built for serious distance cruising and rough-water capability. Its aluminum hull—constructed from 5 mm 5083 plate with 6 and 10 mm stringers—combines a deep V design with wide chines and large-diameter tubes for stability, maneuverability, and a dry ride in heavy seas. Twin Yamaha/Mercury engines delivering 600 horsepower provide responsive power for its size and weight-carrying capacity.

The boat accommodates up to 20 people and features a modular design that allows customization for different applications. The hull geometry is engineered to plane efficiently without excessive horsepower, making it effective for extended cruising. Its construction prioritizes durability and load-bearing strength, making it suitable for demanding operational environments.
