The Highfield Ultralite 260 adds extra space and carrying capacity while remaining exceptionally compact and lightweight. Measuring 2.60 m in overall length and 1.54 m in beam, it accommodates up to 4 people and weighs just 35 kg. Its high-tensile chromated and powder-coated aluminium hull, open-deck layout and maximum 8 hp engine rating make the UL260 a practical yacht tender for transporting passengers, luggage and supplies between yacht and shore.
The UL260 combines inflatable tubes with a high-tensile chromated and powder-coated aluminium hull, providing durability without unnecessary weight. Its anti-slip deck, full-length keel guard, lifting points, towing eyes and lightweight rubbing strake make it practical for regular tender duties, while buyers can choose between ORCA® Hypalon or PVC tubes.
The simple open-deck layout maximises usable space for up to four people while keeping the boat easy to board, handle and clean. A removable seat and under-seat storage bag are standard, while an additional seat can be specified when more seating is required.
With a boat-only weight of just 35 kg and a maximum engine rating of 8 hp, the UL260 provides a useful balance between portability and capability. Its aluminium RIB hull offers greater durability and structure than a conventional soft-bottom tender while remaining light enough for easy launching, retrieval and storage aboard a yacht.
