2026 Highfield Patrol 860

The Highfield Patrol 860 is a 28-foot rigid inflatable built for serious distance cruising and capable of handling demanding sea conditions. Its aluminum hull—constructed from 5 mm 5083 plate with 6 and 10 mm stringers—features a deep V design with wide chines and large-diameter tubes. This combination delivers high maneuverability, a smooth and dry ride in rough waters, and the ability to carry heavy loads while planing efficiently on modest power.

The boat accommodates up to 20 people and benefits from a modular design that allows configuration for various applications. Its layout can be customized to suit specific operational requirements, making it suitable for charter, commercial, or recreational use.

Power comes from two Yamaha or Mercury engines totaling 600 horsepower. The design emphasizes safety, durability, and reliability across the Patrol range.
