Boot Düsseldorf 2018

The Düsseldorf 2018 boat show is always a great way to spend quality time. It was no different in 2018. After driving for two hours I entered the Walhalla of RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats): hall 10. Say no more.

Armed with my buddy, a Nikon D810 full frame DSLR and my Nikon AF-S 24-70 mm f/2.8G ED I was ready to capture the things I liked.

This 42 images slideshow shows my view of the RIBs on display. It is my impression and I hope you like it. It’s my walkaround so to speak.

The Highfield ADV7: A Girl’s Fun Day Out

The Highfield ADV7: A Crossover Design

From my own experience, it definitely reminds me of a RIB, but there are some key differences.

The inflatable tubes sit much higher above the waterline, so they seem to play a different role.

Designed by the award-winning Vom Designs, the vacuum-infused deep-V hull ensures a responsive, high-performance ride.

I first posted the brand’s new model, Highfield ADV7, in January 2025. I also added a slideshow including the premiere at Boot in Düsseldorf, Germany. Click here if you’re interested.
