2026 Highfield Ultralite 340

The Highfield Ultralite 340 is the largest in Highfield's Ultralite range, designed as a lightweight rigid inflatable that combines hard-hull performance with the portability of a tender. Built from 2.5mm marine-grade aluminum with a powder-coat finish, the hull pairs with tubes fabricated from 1100 Decitex Valmex PVC or Orca Hypalon material, both cut and assembled to close tolerances. The boat accommodates up to six people and runs a single 20 hp engine.

The Ultralite's defining strength is its low weight, making it simple to launch, recover, and transport by a single operator—it can be loaded onto a roof rack without difficulty. The layout is straightforward and uncluttered, with numerous standard accessories integrated into the design. This combination of a solid aluminum hull, quality tube construction, and accessible dimensions makes the 340 a practical choice for those seeking the durability and handling of a hard-bottomed boat without the weight penalty of traditional inflatables.
