Highfield Classic 360

Highfield Classic 360

The Classic 360 combines an impressive payload with the handling Highfield tenders are known for, giving you a boat that carries plenty without becoming a chore to manoeuvre. It's built for owners who want to go further afield rather than just pottering between the boat and the beach.

A front locker with fuel tank storage comes as standard, so there's room for the kit you'll actually want aboard - fenders, lines, a spare can of fuel - without it eating into passenger space. Combined with a 480kg maximum load across 6 people, the 360 is set up for longer days out rather than short hops.

Two console options are available: the FCT8 and the GT, both adding a bit more luxury and functionality over a standard tiller setup. If you're planning on covering real distance rather than nipping ship to shore, a console makes that far more comfortable.

Highfield Classic 360 Key Features

• Carries up to 6 people with a 480kg maximum load
• Front locker with fuel tank storage as standard
• 3 air chambers for reassurance and redundancy
• Rated to 30hp for confident performance over longer distances
• Two console options available: the FCT8 and the GT
• Available with PVC or Hypalon tubes - see below to find your fit

PVC or Hypalon tubes?

The Classic 360 is available with either PVC or Hypalon tubes. In short: PVC offers excellent value and performs well for boats used seasonally and stored under cover, while Hypalon costs more upfront but offers superior UV resistance and longevity - worth it if the boat will live outdoors or see heavy use.

FAQs

How many people can the Classic 360 carry? The Classic 360 is rated for up to 6 people, with a maximum load of 480kg for crew and cargo combined. That figure doesn't include the engine, fuel or water, so worth keeping in mind when you're loading up.

What size engine do I need for the Classic 360? It's rated to a maximum of 30hp, with a maximum engine weight of 66kg. That's enough to keep the boat performing well over longer distances with a full load aboard.

What console options are available for the Classic 360? You've got a choice of two: the FCT8 or the GT. Both move you away from a tiller setup towards a proper helm position, which makes a real difference if you're planning on covering distance rather than short hops.

How much storage does the Classic 360 have? There's a front locker with fuel tank storage as standard, so you've got somewhere to stow your kit without it taking up passenger space.

How does the Classic 360 compare to the Classic 340? The two share the same 480kg maximum load, 6-person capacity and 30hp rating, but the 360 is 20cm longer overall, with a boat-only weight of 75kg compared to the 340's 71kg. The extra length translates into a bit more onboard space for longer trips.
