Highfield Boats Australia will host the Asia-Pacific launch of the much-anticipated Highfield ADV7 - which made its global debut at boot Dusseldorf in January.

The Highfield ADV 7 is the result of a successful collaboration with renowned design and engineering studios, VOM Creations and Alpha Studio in Ljubljana. Naval architecture work was expertly undertaken by Andrej Justin.

Every detail of the ADV 7 has been crafted to focus on improved functionality, performance, usability, comfort and quality, while retaining the distinctive Highfield rugged identity and famed sea-keeping ability. The hull is a deep-V design with a very fine entry and 22 degrees of transom deadrise.

It has been meticulously designed to comfortably seat up to eight people, making it perfect for both adventurous outings and family leisure time.

Among its array of innovative features are two large sundecks for enhanced comfort, providing ample space for relaxation and sunbathing. Its 2-metre internal beam offers plenty of room for family and friends and their gear for long days out on the water. The aft section is the ideal social space, perfect for socialising and dining at anchor. The optional marine toilet caters to all members of the family and ensures longer trips are more comfortable.

Also on display, the Sport 800, and a selection of Sport, Patrol, Classic and Ultralight models. The Highfield National Dealer network will attend the show to meet owners and visitors from across Australia.

"We're excited for the Australian launch of the all new ADV7, released to critical acclaim in Europe and the US," stated Peter Pembroke, Highfield Boats Australia. "The ADV7 is truly revolutionary in the rigid inflatable market offering a perfect crossover of hard-working RIB to super stylish and sporty runabout. Perfect for Australian boating conditions."

Bill Hull, General Manager at Northside Marine Brisbane added, "The ADV 7 is something very different and people will love the styling and numerous options for a boat of this size. Then there's the Highfield Sport 800 which offers a huge layout and incredible on-water performance. This model is new for us as it will be the first time showing a Highfield of this size."

Highfield Boats Australia will display at SCIBS 2025, 22 to 25 May.
