Dusseldorf will see the world launch of the new ADV9 as Highfield returns to Boot with their latest RIB-style adventure companion
Hot on the heels of Highfield’s first RIB-style 7m ADV model, Boot Dusseldorf will host the world launch of the new ADV9 – and while details remain scarce, the basics look similar to those of the smaller boat.
A narrow slide-on inflatable collar, which sits a good distance above the waterline, steals minimal space from the internal beam leaving more room for guests to enjoy.
And once again, that looks beautifully used with a full U-shaped dinette in the aft cockpit and a drop-down backrest that enables the sunbed to project out over the engine well, while also providing direct access to the swim platforms.
Ahead of that is a transverse galley with an extra drop-down bench seat to add even more dining capacity at the aft end.
Further forward, three helm seats face a tall console which extends into the bow space, creating volume beneath it for the cabin that the smaller boat lacks.
Factor in a claimed 300-mile range, a Category B rating and an optional camper hood with infills and Highfield is touting this boat as an extremely versatile four-berth adventure companion.
