A Cool Retrospective

Olivier Consorti, leads the OLM Perfectionnement Mer Formée.

The All New Highfield Escape Series – US Exclusive!

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Two New Highfield Escape Models

Highfield Boats introduces a new fiberglass lineup, further expanding its product range into the fiberglass market.

Following the success of the ADV7, two new Escape fiberglass RIB models are launched.

These boats are closely related to the Sport models, yet they are completely newly developed.

The Escape 650

This boat offers luxurious finishes, smart storage solutions, and a comfortable, dry ride.

Removable EVA decking, premium Spradling upholstery, and a larger console improve usability and onboard comfort.

The 750 Stands Out

This vessel has increased space, an optional windlass, and more powerful engine options.

Both models in the Highfield Escape series share a deep-V hull and large tubes.

They deliver an impressively dry and stable ride, according to the tester.

They combine sportiness, comfort, and choice within Highfield’s growing fiberglass family.

This video was published on the Highfield Boats YouTube channel.

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