The New Highfield Sport 600

What’s up, Highfield

This promotional video gives you impressions about the new Highfield Sport 600 RIB.

Looking at the video it has a great family layout. This new addition to the Sport range offers excellent value, a great familiy layout & incredible offshore ability.

Going offshore, mind that this is a CE C category RIB.

This means it is designed for sailing in coastal waters, estuaries, bays, lakes and rivers up to wind force 6 on the Beaufort scale and a wave height of up to 2 meters, e.g. limited coastal navigation.

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

I know for certain that some of you here know how important serious seats are for the health on short but especially on long term and being able to perform the job in rough seas, day after day. Sometimes at high speeds…
