The Highfield Ultralite 290 strikes a practical balance between lightweight portability, interior space and on-water capability. At 2.90 metres and just 39kg boat-only, it can carry up to four people and a maximum load of 320kg, providing plenty of capacity for passengers, luggage and supplies while remaining easy to transport, launch and store.
Its 15° deadrise gives the UL290 improved ride comfort and handling when travelling further from shore, while the high-tensile, chromated and powder-coated aluminium hull provides excellent durability and allows for worry-free beaching. The anti-slip deck, full-length keel guard and lifting points add practicality for regular tender use.
Powered by up to 15hp with a short-shaft outboard, the UL290 is a capable tender for yachts, cruisers and recreational boaters looking for a lightweight platform with enough size and performance for longer trips on the water.
