When keeping weight to a minimum matters, the Highfield Ultralite 260 delivers. At just 35kg boat-only, this compact aluminium-hull RIB is an ideal yacht tender for owners looking for something lightweight, manageable and easy to launch, recover or lift aboard.
At 2.60 metres long and 1.54 metres wide, the Ultralite 260 still provides capacity for up to four people and a maximum load of 278kg. Its aluminium hull and inflatable tube construction provide the durability and stability expected from Highfield, without the weight associated with a conventional fibreglass tender.
This model is specified with premium Hypalon tubes in Light Grey (LG) paired with a White aluminium hull, creating a clean, understated finish that's well suited to use as a premium yacht tender.
Rated for outboards up to 8HP, the Ultralite 260 uses a short-shaft configuration and has a maximum engine weight of 50kg. Its 38cm tubes, three air chambers and 10.5° deadrise create a practical platform for ship-to-shore transfers and everyday tender duties.
