Few vessels leave a lasting impression quite like the Highfield Sport 800. Widely praised by journalists and produced by the world's largest manufacturer of aluminium rigid inflatable boats, this model combines impressive performance, exceptional versatility, and an unmistakable sense of character. Presenting in near-new condition, "Spectre" has been operated as our own demonstrator vessel since new and has been specified to an exceptionally high standard. Equipped with Raymarine's latest electronics suite, a Fusion sound system, underwater lighting, fresh water system, custom aluminium Spitfire trailer, and powered by a Mercury 300hp V8 outboard, this vessel is equally suited to day cruising, diving, water sports, or duties as a luxury chase boat. Featuring a twin-stepped, double reversed-chine hull design with a 26-degree deadrise, the Sport 800 delivers an impressively soft, stable, and capable ride in a wide variety of conditions.

Designed with practicality and comfort in mind, the layout allows easy movement fore and aft thanks to wide side decks and large-diameter Hypalon tubes that provide outstanding stability and protection. The decks are finished in custom EVA foam flooring and present beautifully throughout. A generous aft lounge offers comfortable seating for four to five guests, complete with supportive backrests and high sides for added security underway. A GRP table can be installed to create a dinette setting or lowered with an infill cushion to form a spacious sun lounge. Positioned behind the helm seating is a practical kitchenette module featuring a sink with pressurised fresh water, a timber cutting board, and provision for a portable stove if desired. The helm itself is comprehensively equipped with a 12-inch Raymarine Axiom touchscreen multifunction display, Raymarine VHF, AIS, and transducer, electric windlass controls, engine telemetry, and a Fusion Bluetooth sound system. Sheltered behind a tall, wide console offering excellent protection from the elements, the twin helm seats are comfortable for extended cruising and include flip-up bolsters for standing operation when conditions demand.

Thoughtful ergonomics and plentiful handholds throughout the vessel make moving around safe and comfortable, even at cruising speeds well in excess of 30 knots. Forward, the bow area is exceptionally spacious and features a well-proportioned V-berth style lounge capable of seating five or more guests, complemented by an additional seat on the forward face of the helm console. As with the aft lounge, the bow table can be configured for dining or lowered with a cushion insert to create a large sunbed. Beneath the seating is extensive storage along with access to the chain locker in the forepeak, while a concealed Quick electric windlass makes anchoring simple and effective using the stainless-steel anchor and chain arrangement.

The aft deck space has been utilised extremely well, providing substantial storage capacity below deck along with freshwater tankage. The port-side boarding platform incorporates a swim ladder and nearby freshwater shower, while removable in-floor storage lockers offer ideal space for lines, wet gear, or even use as iced drink storage. Pop-up cleats are fitted fore and aft for clean and practical mooring arrangements, and a ski/tow pole is mounted just ahead of the engine for water sports activities. Power is supplied by the Mercury 300hp V8 outboard, delivering exhilarating performance with a top speed exceeding 50 knots and an effortless cruising speed above 30 knots.

Easily trailer-able yet spacious enough to comfortably accommodate a large group of guests, "Spectre" represents an outstanding opportunity to secure an exceptionally well-optioned ex-demonstrator vessel at a significant saving compared to replacement cost. Stored under full cover since new, professionally maintained, and regularly serviced, this Highfield Sport 800 continues to present in exceptional condition throughout and is ready for immediate enjoyment. Combining remarkable offshore capability, excellent comfort, generous storage, and unmistakable style, this is a vessel that will impress even the most experienced boater.
