Highfield Boats 2024 Showreel Meet the Adventure

Highfield Boats 2024 Showreel

It is a promotional 1:34 video showcasing Highfield RIBs in action.

As usual, Highfield Boats creates very cool videos of their boats in various contexts.

The video shows these boats on the water. It includes the all new ADV7. The video highlights their innovation, capabilities, and suitability for various adventures.

Proud to share that Highfield is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.

Greek ZEN Marine Showcasing the Sleek ZEN 40

Greece Based ZEN Marine Astonishes.

Carlo of the Sea Team walks us through the ZEN 40. A precise, high-quality walkaround in classic Sea Team fashion—clear, professional, and engaging.

The new (2020) Greek shipyard ZEN Marine now has 4 models:

  • ZX4 (14.60 m)
  • ZEN 39/40
  • ZEN 39S/40S
  • ZEN 39 stern drive

The ZEN 40 sleeps 4 and has a wet room or bathroom where the shower is optional.

ZEN Marine claims that with their RIB you can be at sea in conditions with 4 meter waves or 13ft wave height up to to 8 Beaufort.

I always try to imagine that and tell myself that in these conditions I’d rather work on RIBsONLY.com.

While watching the video I noticed three things:

  1. It might be the camera angle, but the two Honda outboard engines appear to be installed quite close together. This isn’t an issue if you plan to install a joystick, as the engines never counter-rotate. Most likely, this is because of the hull design.
  2. The small fridge doesn’t seem to close easily.
  3. I’d suggest a better solution for the front cleat, as the rope(s) could potentially rub against the tubes.

Our friends at e-ribbing.com have put this model to the test several times and made videos of it, well worth watching!

Carlo’s video was published on The Sea Team YouTube channel.

The All New ADV7 from Highfield Boats: Is it a RIB?

The ADV7 from Highfield

What I can say is that it’s not your average rib. Not your typical Highfield.

Based on the video above and the photos provided to me, I see similarities to a RIB, but also differences.

It seems that the air-filled tubes serve a different purpose, as they are positioned high above the waterline.

It’s a type of crossover, as this model is prominently featured with its own dedicated menu button on the company’s website.

Its deep-V hull, expertly crafted with vacuum-infused composite by the award-winning Vom Designs, guarantees exceptional performance and handling.

The company already designing a bold, modern console for Highfield’s Patrol boat collection.

According to the press release, powered by a 150hp engine, this ADV7 from Highfield effortlessly surpasses 30 knots—and with a 250hp, it rockets to nearly 50 knots.

And the Adv7’s tube offers unmatched security and buoyancy—rarely found in the adventure boat market, so the info states.

Highfield started off with a professional-grade craft. They optimized it for recreational use.

The hull of this flagship is based on that of the famous Patrol 860.

Naval architect Petter Martens redesigned it. It offers better stability and performance.

Their 900 Sport RIB with an aluminum hull offers the ruggedness and reliability of a commercial vessel. It also provides the comfort and style of a leisure boat.
