RIB builder Highfield Boats is the now North American partner for Italian RIB manufacturer Nuova Jolly in a new venture called Nuova Jolly North America. The partnership will launch at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show later this month.

“We are excited to represent the Nuova Jolly line of high-end performance RIBs from 28 to 50 feet in the U.S., Canada and Mexico,” Christophe Lavigne, president of Highfield Boats USA and Nuova Jolly North America, said in a statement. “These large, high-quality, RIBs … make the perfect complement to the Highfield line of aluminum-hull RIBs and tenders from 6 to 29 feet.”

Lavigne also announced that Jean-Côme Mazière will serve as vice president of sales and marketing for Nuova Jolly North America.

The Nuova Jolly Prince 33 will debut at FLIBS. The show is scheduled for Oct. 25-29.
