Understandably, the brand features in the catalogs of many multihull builders. Most Highfields are powered by outboard motors, but now, the manufacturer has decided to take part in the energy transition by offering a new model with electric waterjet propulsion developed by New Zealand specialist ZeroJet. The EJET330 is fun to use and particularly versatile, capable of motoring for 7 hours without recharging. The absence of a propeller enables it to navigate in shoal-draft waters without damaging the environment, and to take the ground easily - a safety feature for swimmers too. Available in four colors, the Highfield EJET330 can carry up to five passengers.
