Highfield, a leading name in RIBs for the UK, has introduced its latest innovation – the ADV9 adventure crossover – making its global debut at Boot Düsseldorf 2026 (available to view right now as of writing in Hall 9, Stand C25 until 25th Jan 2026). Built for serious offshore use, the ADV9 sets a new standard for performance, comfort, and versatility in the cabin crossover category.
Why the ADV9 stands out
The ADV9 isn’t just a new RIB, it’s a statement in the world of new RIBs. Its sharp, modern lines and signature RIB-style architecture combine with practical features to deliver both style and function. If you’re a family looking for a reliable weekender, a charter operator, or in need of a chase boat, the ADV9 adapts seamlessly to your needs.
The innovative slide-on tube system makes upgrades simple, reduces damage risk, and ensures safer docking. Combined with high freeboard and excellent water deflection, the ADV9 is designed for confidence in challenging offshore conditions.
Performance that inspires confidence
At 9.2 metres long, the ADV9 delivers thrilling performance alongside genuine long-range capability. Owners can reach speeds of up to 50 knots and cruise up to 250 nautical miles, making this vessel a true blue-water boat.
Power options are flexible: choose twin 300hp outboards or a single 450hp engine, tailored to your performance or efficiency requirements. The 3.27m beam gives the ADV9 a commanding offshore presence while remaining easy to handle at marinas or on a trailer.
Comfort for extended adventures
Inside, the ADV9 is designed as a true crossover weekender. The heated cabin offers up to four berths, a galley, a head, and an optional camper hood for extra flexibility. A flush deck layout and direct swim platform access enhance onboard usability and safety for families and guests alike.
Custom interior colour schemes allow owners to make the vessel uniquely theirs, ensuring style matches functionality.
Built for real-world conditions
With a 450-litre fuel tank, four lifting points, and a non-stepped hull, the ADV9 is ready for long offshore trips, trailer transport, or floating dock systems. Every detail has been designed with practicality and safety in mind – qualities that Highfield owners in the UK and beyond have come to expect.
