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.
