Highfield ADV7 Crossover Boat

The Highfield ADV7 takes the versatility of an SUV and applies it to the water. Measuring 6.98 meters long, the crossover combines Highfield’s rugged RIB-inspired approach with the comfort and usable space of a conventional family day boat. It accommodates up to eight people while remaining compact enough for trailer-based adventures.

Its layout is unusually comprehensive for a boat of this size. Two sun decks provide space to stretch out, while the central console and T-top are joined by a galley with sink, shower, transom ladder and portable toilet. European versions also include a refrigerator and rear table as standard, with options including a marine toilet and windlass.

A 270-liter fuel tank supports longer days on the water, and the ADV7 can accept a single outboard producing up to 300 hp according to Highfield’s current factory specification. The hull measures 2.68 meters across and weighs around 1,300 kg without the engine, helping preserve the ADV7’s ability to be trailered rather than permanently berthed.

The result is less a traditional RIB and more an all-purpose adventure platform: capable of family cruising, watersports and exploring, but with the storage, lounging areas and onboard amenities normally associated with considerably larger boats.

ROGUE PACKRAFT

Rogue Packraft is a portable and lightweight raft that you can quickly inflate or deflate thanks to its D7 valves and compress it to the size of a regular paper towel roll. Its weight is just shy of 5 pounds, which makes it a must have if you’re used to being around water courses with no crossing options such as shallow points or bridges. Don’t think however that because it’s small and portable it’s flimsy or fragile, in fact the Rogue Packraft is quite the ...
