Compact, lightweight and built for everyday boating, the Highfield Classic 260 is a versatile aluminium-hull RIB ideally suited as a yacht tender, ship-to-shore runabout or compact boat for exploring sheltered waterways.
At just 2.60 metres long and 54kg boat-only, the Classic 260 is easy to handle, launch and store while still offering capacity for 3+1 people. Its high-tensile aluminium hull, full-length keel guard and 44cm inflatable tubes provide a tough, practical platform for regular days on the water.
This model is specified with PVC inflatable tubes and finished in the LG-W-WD colour scheme, combining Light Grey tubes with a White aluminium hull and White/Dark Grey detailing.
With 10HP recommended power and a maximum rating of 15HP, the Classic 260 offers an excellent balance of portability, performance and everyday practicality.
