Highfield is renowned for producing robust RIBs, and the Ultralite 340 is no exception, offering exceptional portability and ease of use. This model is perfect for yacht owners in need of a reliable tender or individuals looking for a small, manageable boat for short excursions.

Ideal for calm waters, this RIB is easy to launch and recover by a single person and can be transported on a roof rack, making it a versatile choice for various applications.

La Highfield Ultralite 340 es una opción excelente para quienes buscan una embarcación inflable rígida que sea fácil de manejar y transportar. Su construcción en aluminio marino asegura una durabilidad superior, siempre y cuando se realice un mantenimiento adecuado para prevenir la oxidación. La navegación es estable en aguas tranquilas, pero no está diseñada para enfrentar condiciones de mar abierto. El diseño simple y el uso de materiales de alta calidad en los tubos inflables hacen que esta embarcación ofrezca un valor excepcional en su categoría. Para un perito naval, sería importante inspeccionar las costuras de los tubos y el estado del casco de aluminio, especialmente si se ha utilizado en condiciones salinas. En general, la Ultralite 340 es una compra sólida para quienes buscan un tender o una embarcación recreativa de bajo mantenimiento.
