The Velox in the Middle
The Highfield Velox 560 is the bridge between de 420 and the 660 Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs).
It combines an aluminium hull with a Rotax jet propulsion system for responsive performance on the water.
Its jet-driven configuration allows operation in shallow waters where traditional outboard-powered boats often face limitations.
The model uses Highfield’s high-tensile aluminium hull construction, already familiar throughout the brand’s wider RIB range.
On board, the Velox 560 features an open layout with generous seating and several integrated storage compartments.
The setup is intended for day cruising, watersports activities, and fast coastal passages in varying water conditions.
With an overall length of 5,60 metres, the model targets both families and recreational performance-oriented boaters.
The combination of jet propulsion and lightweight construction creates a distinctly different driving experience compared to conventional RIBs.
