Highfield Boats premieres new models at the Club Marine Perth Boat Show
Highfield Boats will be launching several models at the 2023 Perth Boat Show
Running from 15 to 17 September, the 2023 Club Marine Perth Boat Show
The Club Marine Perth Boat Show is the largest boat show in Western Australia and a perfect opportunity for manufacturers to bring new models to the market. Representing WA dealers is Steve Simpson from RIBworx in Fremantle, who said of the show, “This is the first time the 900 has been over here so we’re really excited to have the flagship model to exhibit. It’s all about bigger boats now. People are doing trips to Rottnest and they’re looking for bigger RIBs to handle the conditions.”
Steve has operated RIBworx in WA for eight years and says he’s seen RIBs (rigid inflatable boats) grow in popularity. He believes this is due to their durability, built-in fender, ability to stay dry, stability and the fact they can carry more people than boats of a similar size.

The new Highfield Sport 900 is rated for up to 15 people and is equipped with bow and stern sundecks, kitchenette with fridge, shower kit and integrated rear seat with cushion. EVA teak throughout, integrated fuel tanks, superb diamond-stitched upholstery, bathing flatforms and Sunbrella top are among other standard features found on this incredible vessel. The SP900 model also boasts amazing seakeeping abilities, all-weather hull design and long-range capability so owners can maximise their time on the water and a hull deadrise angle of 26 degrees — giving owners assurance in the toughest conditions.
Highfield Australia’s National Sales and Marketing Manager, Peter Pembroke, is predicting high demand for the new, larger models in WA. He added, “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.”
