We use a Highfield Rigid Inflatable Boat as our tender as she meets all of our needs. She is compact enough to fit on the Sylfia yet she can accommodate a handful of crew members. The combination of aluminum hull and the dtex coated fabric tubes allow it to stay afloat in all weather conditions while keeping it light enough for 2-3 crew members to easily drag her ashore.

The reduced weight also means that a 20 HP outboard motor is more than enough for her to zip around but keeps fuel consumption low. The fuel tank is located in a dedicated bow locker to keep fumes to a minimum.      

Highfield produces a wide range of inflatables, ranging from 2 meter dinghies for personal use to commercial grade 8 meter heavy duty RIBs used by government agencies the world over. All Highfield vessels feature powder coated aluminum hulls paired with the highest quality tube fabrics for maximum reliability and durability.

Coincidentally, we also use Nemo lights for filming our dives, so they are constantly with us!
