Highfield Boats unveiled the ADV 7, a new 7-meter crossover boat, at the Düsseldorf Boat Show. The latest addition to the Highfield family combines the exceptional seaworthiness typical of RIBs with the comfort needed for family use.

The boat is designed to accommodate up to eight people. Its deep-V hull features a narrow bow and a 22-degree deadrise at the transom. The RIB is equipped with two large sun pads, while the 2-meter-wide cockpit provides ample space for family and friends. At the stern, there’s a spacious social area ideal for gatherings and relaxation. An optional toilet can also be installed.
A T-top canopy offers sun protection, especially when paired with an additional aft canopy. Safe access to the water is ensured by well-designed stern platforms, allowing for easy boarding and disembarking. The stern arch is perfect for water sports and towing inflatables.

The ADV 7 is the result of a successful collaboration between Highfield Boats and two renowned design and engineering studios, VOM Creations and Alpha Studio, based in Ljubljana. The naval architecture was completed by Andrej Justin.
