The 2026 Highfield Ultralite 310 is a standout in the tender category, offering a perfect blend of lightweight design and robust construction. Known for their durable and lightweight RIBs, Highfield has crafted the Ultralite 310 to be a reliable choice for yacht owners in need of an easy-to-transport tender. Weighing only 110 lbs, this tender can accommodate up to five people and is compatible with a 15hp engine, making it both versatile and practical. Its 2.5mm thick powder-coated marine-grade aluminum hull ensures durability, while the inflatable tubes made from 1100 Decitex Valmex® PVC or Orca® Hypalon provide excellent resistance to wear and tear. The Ultralite 310 is designed for those who need a tender that can be launched and retrieved by a single person and easily transported on a roof rack. Perfect for short coastal excursions, fishing in calm waters, or serving as a tender for larger yachts, this vessel is ideal for yacht owners seeking a reliable and portable solution. While it offers limited seating and minimal onboard storage, its lightweight and durable construction make it a valuable addition to any yacht. Located in West Palm Beach, Florida, this new model is ready to meet the needs of discerning boaters.

The Highfield Ultralite 310 stands out in the tender market for its lightweight yet durable construction. The aluminum hull provides excellent resistance to corrosion, a significant advantage for those frequently beaching or operating in saltwater. Its design allows for easy transport and launching, making it an ideal choice for yacht owners who need a reliable tender. The build quality is high, with attention to detail evident in the construction of the inflatable tubes. While it excels in calm water conditions, it's not designed for rough seas, which is a consideration for potential buyers. The value proposition of the Ultralite 310 is strong, especially for those who prioritize portability and ease of use. A marine surveyor would likely focus on the condition of the seams and tubes, given the common issues with wear over time. Overall, this tender is perfect for yacht owners needing a dependable, easy-to-handle tender, but those seeking more storage or seating capacity might look elsewhere.
