Highfield Boats launched 2024 sport models at recent Show.
Highfield Boats have just recently attend the 2023 Club Marine Perth Boat Show, at Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre and Elizabeth Quay, hosting the launch of the 2024 Sport models, the 9m and 7m.
WA Dealer, Steve Simpson from RIBworx in Fremantle, says the show is the biggest show in the West. “We had a couple of small tenders, the e-propulsion 360, Patrol 600 and Sport 700, 760 and 900. This was the first time the 900 had been over here so we were really excited to have the flagship model to exhibit. It’s all about bigger boats now”.
“There is a growing demand for RIBS. They are durable, have a built-in fender, they’re dry, offer a stable ride and can carry many more people than boats of a similar size.” Rated for up to 15 people, the new Highfield Sport 900 is equipped with bow and stern sundecks, kitchenette with fridge, shower kit and integrated rear seat with cushion. Other standard features include EVA teak throughout, integrated fuel tanks, superb diamond stitched upholstery, bathing platforms and Sunbrella top.
Peter Pembroke, Highfield Australia, National Sales & Marketing Manager also attended, predicting high demand for the new, larger models in Western Australia. “WA has a very strong, active owner base. They are keen divers, water-skiers and take their families and friends out on their Highfields around Rottnest Island and further up the coast for surfing and snorkelling. The new models are ideal for these kinds of adventures.”
