Highfield Boats has announces the launch of the bold new adventure crossover, the ADV9, making its global debut at boot Düsseldorf 2026.
Redefining the cabin crossover class, the ADV9 has been purpose-built for true adventure, versatility, and modern comfort. Featuring sharp lines and signature RIB-style architecture, this vessel blends serious offshore capability with sleek styling.
Built for extended offshore use, the 9.2-metre ADV9 delivers exhilarating performance alongside genuine long-range capability. With a top speed of 50 knots and a cruising range of up to 250 nautical miles, the ADV9 empowers owners and operators to venture further with confidence.
Building on the evolution of the ADV series, the ADV9 carries the range into a new era of capability, ideally suited for families, private ownership, charter use, and chase‑boat duties. The slide‑on tube system future‑proofs the design with easy upgrades and reduced damage risk. The tubes also provide excellent water deflection, safer docking, and enhanced onboard security, particularly in challenging conditions.
Paul Blanc, CEO of Highfield Boats, commented: “The ADV9 represents the next evolution of our adventure crossover range. Building on the success of the ADV7, we’ve created a vessel that delivers greater capability, flexibility, and comfort without compromise. The ADV9 is designed to perform in the real world – offshore, at speed, and in demanding conditions.”
Designed as a true crossover weekender, the ADV9 offers up to four berths within a heated cabin, complete with galley, head, and an optional camper hood for increased flexibility. A flush deck layout, high freeboard, and direct access to the swim platform significantly enhance onboard usability and safety for families, guests, and crew alike.
To further personalise the experience, owners can choose from a selection of interior colour themes, allowing the vessel to be tailored to individual tastes or preferences.
A substantial 450-litre fuel tank underpins the ADV9’s blue-water credentials, while thoughtful design features such as four lifting points and a non-stepped hull ensure compatibility with both trailering and floating dock systems.
Power and performance
Owners can choose between outboard power that suits their individual needs, with options of up to twin 300hp or single 450hp engines, the ADV9 can be configured for specific performance, efficiency, or operational requirements. With an overall length of 9.2 metres (excluding engines) and a 3.27m beam, the ADV9 strikes the ideal balance between commanding offshore presence and manageable size.
