Charity Auction Raises Double the MSRP of Pink Highfield Sport 360 RIB with Tohatsu 40hp outboard

Apr 25, 2025

Starting at the Miami International Boat Show, Highfield Boats held a charity auction for a Pink Highfield Sport 360 RIB with Tohatsu 40hp outboard to raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The boat was supplied by the Highfield Boats factory in Weihai, China; ORCA fabric from Pennel; rigging and logistics from Wright & Johnson USA (Highfield USA); engine and parts from Tohatsu America; huge assistance from our friends at Nautical Ventures, and supported by Highfield social media from Europe by Mowenna Swan.
 
The result was amazing. Not only was the donation full MSRP of the boat package at $27,999 but when I explained to the winner, Kim (who would like to remain anonymous but OK to share photo above), that the money was  going to offering free mammograms for woman who cannot afford one, she decided to up the donation to $50,000! That will pay for hundreds of mammograms which not only are likely catch someone’s cancer earlier but also will probably save lives. We are so proud of the result! — Michael Carroll, Highfield Boats USA
