Highfield Boats USA, America's leading supplier of rigid inflatable boats (RIBS), in partnership with global outboard manufacturer Tohatsu America Corporation, announce the launch of The Big Pink Charity Auction in support of cancer research and the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Between February 1 and March 22, 2025, the Special Pink Edition Highfield Sport 360 RIB powered by a Tohatsu MFS40A EFI 40hp four stroke outboard will be offered in a public online charity auction at www.highfieldboats.com/pinkcharityfundraiser

The pink Highfield Sport 360 also will be on display for showgoers to see in person at the 2025 Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show, February 12-16, in Miami Beach Convention Center Booth MB1244, and in the Nautical Ventures display at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, March 19-23. Bidding in the auction will conclude at midnight on March 22, and the winner will be announced on March 23 at the Palm Beach show.

"Highfield Boats CEO Julien Carusi came up with the concept of The Big Pink Charity Auction, and everyone at Highfield USA is proud to join in this effort to help fight cancer of all types, especially breast cancer, which has impacted so many of our lives and the lives of our loved ones," said Highfield Boats USA President Christophe Lavigne. "Our heartfelt thanks go to Tohatsu, our partner this event, and to Nautical Ventures, which will host the Special Pink Edition RIB until the end of the charity auction, for their support. We hope that bidders will be especially generous knowing the proceeds go to such an important cause."

"We are incredibly proud to partner with Highfield USA in The Big Pink Charity Auction," said Tohatsu America General Manager John Adam. "Together we are committed to a world where no woman faces breast cancer alone. Your donations directly fund breast cancer education and support systems, and we encourage the marine industry to join us in fundraising for such a worthy cause!"

Highfield Sport 360

The Highfield Sport 360 RIB is two boats in one: a sturdy and spacious tender that fits on the back of most sail and power cruising boats, and a safe and affordable day boat for families who Dare to Explore. Featuring Highfield's rugged tensile chromated and powder-coated aluminum hull, the Sport 360 has an LOA of 11' 11", six-person seating capacity, and built-in helm console with space on the dash for a multifunction display. The 40hp Tohatsu outboard provides the RIB with plenty of power for a full day of family fun on the water.
