Highfield Sport 900 Details
it is not the first time this RIB came to my attention. It’s Highfield Boats’ flagship a this moment (specs below).
It’s always interesting to read other reviews of that same RIB: Highfield 900 Sport schowcases
Performance
The Highfield Sport 900 delivers serious punch with twin 300-horsepower V8s, achieving speeds up to 56 knots. A single 300 provides sufficient performance while reducing fuel use. Its 26° dead rise hull ensures confident handling in chop, making the ride stable, dry, and comfortable at speed.
Design
Built with an aluminum hull and Hypalon tubes, the Highfield Sport 900 is tough, lightweight, and ready for rugged conditions. A recessed bow anchor avoids docking obstructions, while the synthetic teak flooring improves grip and comfort. Four lifting points allow crane handling, ideal for seasonal storage or tender operations.
Comfort
Convertible aft seating transforms into a European-style sunbed, accommodating up to eight around a removable table. Twin swim ladders, freshwater shower, and well-placed grab handles emphasize user-friendly design. The tall aluminum T-top provides generous shade and secure mounting points for boards, dive gear, or watersports equipment.
Practicality
The center console blends rugged alloy with smooth fiberglass finishes for a refined feel. Helm ergonomics are excellent, with Garmin multifunction display, joystick handling, digital engine diagnostics, and ample storage. A compact wet bar increases versatility, while the self-draining decks simplify maintenance for extended outdoor storage.
Amenities
Inside the console of this Highfield Sport 900 is a marine toilet with sturdy construction, natural light, and thoughtful fittings. The sound system benefits from enclosed acoustics, creating subwoofer-like depth.
High-quality finishes, robust fixtures, and practical storage solutions complete the package.
