Highfield Boats USA announced yesterday the addition of five dealers to its network: Champion Honda in Hicksville, N.Y.; Emerald Coast RIB Boats in Fort Walton Beach, Fla.; Gage Marine in Williams Bay, Wis.; McShane Yacht Sales in Marshfield, Mass.; and Oak Hill Marina in Arnolds Park, Iowa.

“Our ability to expand the presence of RIBs and reshape perceptions of this innovative category in the U.S. depends on the strength of our dealers — their reputation, accessibility and shared vision for the future of boating,” Highfield USA president Christophe Lavigne said in a statement. “These new partnerships — alongside our existing dealers — will play a vital role in strengthening Highfield’s presence nationwide.”

Highfield RIBs are now available at more than 60 locations across the United States, the statement said.
