Get to Know Highfield Boats ADV7

Breaking free from traditional RIB designs, the ADV7 launches a bold new crossover series from Highfield Boats that gives owners the power to choose their own adventure. It’s built for boaters who enjoy exploring new destinations, watersports, entertaining on board, and simply spending time with loved ones on the water. Featuring a fiberglass hull for sporty performance, the Highfield ADV7 also is equipped with full wraparound tubes that add an extra layer of safety and stability. One look at the rugged profile of the ADV7 with its blunt bow and clearly defined lines, and you know it’s ready to handle anything you have in mind.

Huge, Stylish Interior

The interior volume feels enormous for a 23-foot sportboat. Bow and stern lounges, along with two sports car-style helm seats, offer comfortable seating for up to eight people. The rear seat converts to a sunlounge or al fresco dining area. Luxury touches include upscale upholstery, sculpted T-top and standard sunshade. The helm has room for two flush-mounted 12-inch multifunction displays. Desirable options include electric windlass, plumbed head inside the console and a fridge in the aft cockpit – you can grab a cold drink while sunbathing without even having to get up.

Sporty but Smooth Ride

Highfield Boats are known for seaworthiness, and the ADV7 is no exception. The deep-V hull with 20° deadrise at transom cuts cleanly through choppy seas and provides precision handling. The wraparound glass windshield, center console-mounted wheel, and ergonomic helm seats also enhance the driving experience. Whether you go with the standard 200-hp outboard or step up to 250 or 300 hp, you are sure to enjoy the ride. Opt for the 300-hp motor and thrill to speeds in the 59-mph range. It’s also easy to tow a skier, wakeboarder or inflatable toy from the heavy-duty A-frame mounted aft. The swim platform on either side of the outboard is roomy enough to launch endless watersports activities.

Crossover to the ADV

The ADV7 combines all the best attributes of a RIB and sportboat. You can tow it behind the family SUV, pull up to a dock without fear of dinging the hull, and ride on a cushion of air in rough seas. At the same time, the boat’s game-changing crossover design with its spacious capacity and deep-V fiberglass hull let you enjoy the center console experience. Versatile, functional and fun, the Highfield ADV7 is your ticket to adventure!
