2025 Highfield Classic 400Sold

Step aboard the Classic 400 and you’ll notice how much usable space Highfield has carved into a 13-foot footprint. The wide beam and flat, open interior let you move coolers, dive gear, or guests without everyone shuffling around. Oversized tubes ride high out of the spray, so you stay drier than you’d expect in a compact RIB. The bow arrangement is especially handy, with easy access for boarding at the dock or beaching bow-in. Under-seat storage keeps lines, anchors, and lifejackets tucked away yet close at hand. Lightweight construction makes it simple to tow on a small trailer and effortless to hoist on davits or a platform lift.

In these waters, conditions can swing from calm mornings to choppy afternoons in a hurry, and the Classic 400 is built for that kind of variety. Its compact length makes it easy to weave through tight marina fairways and busy mooring fields, while the deep hull and generous tubes give reassuring stability when afternoon wind kicks up. The light weight means most mid-size cruisers and catamarans can carry it as a tender without feeling overloaded. Shallow draft is a real plus here too, letting you nose up to sandbars and rocky shorelines that deeper boats avoid, then hop back offshore with confidence.
