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.
This video was published on the Highfield Boats YouTube channel.

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