Verdict
A compact 22-foot Highfield RIB with a tough aluminum hull, strong offshore-capable manners, and practical day-boat space. It is more about capability and durability than soft luxury, so comfort is good for the class but limited for overnight use.
Pros
- +Aluminum RIB construction is robust and trailer-friendly
- +Deep-vee hull with 26° deadrise should ride well in chop
- +High passenger capacity for a 22-foot boat
- +Large fuel tank and 200 hp max suit longer runs
- +Good handling and stability are core strengths
Cons
- −Open layout offers limited weather protection
- −Cabin count is effectively zero for overnighting
- −Comfort is basic compared with fiberglass day boats
- −Weight and beam can make storage and towing less convenient
- −Options and fit-out can raise the final price
The Highfield 660 is a 22-foot aluminum-hull RIB aimed at buyers who want strength, seaworthiness, and easy maintenance rather than a plush interior. Public specs place it around 6.65 m long with a 2.56 m beam, a 26° deadrise, and capacity for up to 14 people, which gives it a notably purposeful footprint for its size. The design suits family use, coastal trips, and utility-focused ownership.
On the water, the 660’s deep-vee hull and RIB tube form should deliver confident handling, good stability at rest, and solid chop management for a boat in this class. With power ratings up to 200 hp, reports and listed examples suggest lively performance and comfortable cruising in the high-20-knot range when appropriately powered, though results vary with load and engine choice. It is best viewed as a capable all-rounder rather than a speed-first platform.
Comfort and livability are respectable for an open 22-footer, but the boat is still limited by its size and layout. Seating, storage, and shade depend heavily on specification, and there is no real cabin accommodation in the usual sense. Value is strong if the buyer prioritizes durability, load-carrying, and offshore confidence, but less compelling for those seeking a softer ride environment or more refined day-boat luxury.
