2025 Highfield Ultralite 240 SS

The Highfield Ultralite 240 SS is a standout option in the tender category, offering an exceptional blend of lightweight design and durability. Weighing in at just 72 lbs, this tender is the smallest in the Highfield range, making it perfect for yacht owners who need a space-efficient and easily manageable boat. Highfield is renowned in the boating community for its reliable RIBs, and the Ultralite 240 SS lives up to this reputation with its marine-grade aluminum hull and high-quality inflatable tubes. This tender is particularly suited for couples or light loads, providing a stable and robust platform for short coastal excursions or as a tender for larger yachts. The Ultralite's compact size and light weight mean it can be launched and recovered by a single person, and it can even be transported on a roof rack. However, potential buyers should consider the limited passenger capacity and minimal onboard storage, which may not suit those looking for extended trips. Despite these considerations, the Highfield Ultralite 240 SS remains a top choice for those seeking a reliable, easy-to-handle tender. Located in Fort Lauderdale, this new model is ready to meet the needs of discerning yacht owners.

The Highfield Ultralite 240 SS is a well-crafted tender that excels in portability and durability, thanks to its marine-grade aluminum hull and quality inflatable tubes. Its lightweight design makes it an excellent choice for yacht owners who need a tender that is easy to handle and transport. While it offers good stability in calm waters, its performance can be limited in rougher conditions due to its small size. This tender is competitively priced for its build quality and functionality, making it a valuable addition for those who need a reliable and low-maintenance tender. A marine surveyor would likely focus on the condition of the inflatable tubes and the integrity of the aluminum hull, especially if the boat has been used in rough conditions. Overall, this model is ideal for yacht owners seeking a practical and efficient tender for short trips or light loads, but those needing more capacity or storage may want to explore larger alternatives.
