Where the Navisoul Caral Marine 480 wins
- In the order of €12,000–17,000 less at equivalent power (60 hp)
- Hypalon (CSM) as standard — on the Sport 460 CSM is a paid option
- 20 cm more length and 8 certified seats

Where the Highfield Sport 460 wins
- Aluminium hull: less towing weight and more beaching resistance
- Very polished console finish and ergonomics

Our verdict
The Sport 460 is a great boat — and still, a €12,000+ gap versus a Hypalon Navisoul 480 with the same 60 hp is hard to justify. If you beach daily on stone or tow every weekend, Highfield's aluminium has arguments. For typical Mediterranean use (mooring, buoy, day trips), that difference pays for the entire engine and equipment.
