The world’s leading builder of aluminium-hulled rigid inflatables (RIBs), Highfield Boats, will present models from the all-new 2024 Sports range at the 2023 Sydney International Boat Show from 3 to 6 August, including the world premiere of the highly-anticipated Sport 560, Sport 660 and Sport 760.
The brand’s 300-square-metre stand will feature 13 of the latest models, with representatives from Highfield’s Sydney North dealership, Lejen Marine and Sydney South dealership, Marineco, plus experts from Highfield’s national dealer network.
Among the standard features across the 2024 Sports range from SP560 to SP900 are a versatile sundeck, platform with ladder, hydraulic steering system, Gussi steering wheel, glove box on the console, shower kit with new 50-litre water tank, Scanstrut USB charger, dual circuit battery switch with the ability to install one or two batteries, 40-amp circuit breaker, ACR (automatic charging relay), roll bar, Bravo BP 12-B electric pump, and new stylish EVA floor pattern.
The Highfield 560 Sport has proven extremely popular Down Under, making Australia the highest-selling territory globally for this incredible RIB.
The new 560 Sport boasts a range of improvements – new stern design, rollbar, rear seat side handles, large cup holders, new EVA floor and optional t-top.
The Highfield 660 Sport comprises the same features with optional hardtop, and the 760 Sport offers the same, plus an optional hardtop and windlass.
“It’s an extreme honour to host the global launch of these all-new Sports models at SIBS,” said Peter Pembroke, Highfield Australia/New Zealand General Manager.
“We’re anticipating a lot of interest in these models, which all boast a durable, high-performance aluminium hull and luxurious lifestyle features on board – the best of both worlds for family fun on the water, as a watersports platform, yacht tender, or chase boat for events.
“The Sydney boat show will be the ideal opportunity for people to inspect these new RIBs and get their Highfield in time for summer boating.”
