The Highfield 560 Sport Edition
In this video, the host showcases the Highfield 560 Sport, a compact RIB with an aluminum hull.
While he mentions that all Highfield boats have aluminum hulls, that’s not entirely accurate.
The newly launched Highfield ADV7, unveiled at Boot 2025, features a GRP hull. I’ve written a blog post about it: The All New ADV7 from Highfield Boats: Is it a RIB?
The 560 Sport could be a great RIB for a small family.
Personally, I’d skip the T-top. Of course, your local conditions might make it a must.
At 5.60 meters, this RIB is also very easy to tow and could serve well as a tender.
Proud to share that Highfield is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.
