Honda Marine UK and Highfield Boats will unite with a joint stand at this year’s Southampton Boat Show to showcase their combined quality and new launches for the UK market.
Visitors will have the opportunity to view a variety of Highfield boats – all paired with the perfect Honda outboard engine to optimise performance – and will also be able to explore a full display of Honda Marine’s comprehensive outboard range spanning 2.3 to 350hp.
The strengthened joint presence at Southampton Boat Show on the eye-catching new Honda Marine UK/Highfield Boats display on Stand P090 capitalises on the longstanding partnership and synergies between the companies. Among the highlights set to make an impact is the UK debut of the Highfield ADV7 7-metre crossover boat, powered by the Honda BF250 outboard engine.
Marking Honda Marine’s own UK market launch at the show, the new V6 BF250, along with the updated Honda Marine 4-cylinder range of outboard engines, will be exhibited with significant enhancements for the first time in the UK. They are among several models across the Honda high-power 4-cylinder range (BF115, BF135 and BF150) and V6 engine series (BF200, BF225 and BF250) which now feature upgraded technology, exclusive features and a sleek new exterior.
New for 2025, Honda Marine will also introduce the Sporty White version of its most powerful, technologically advanced outboard, the award-winning flagship BF350 V8.
Joanne Beattie, PR & Marketing, Honda Marine UK, said: “Honda Marine and Highfield Boats have a long and successful history of collaboration to provide the best boat-engine packages, with a joint commitment to delivering trusted solutions and exceptional experiences to boaters through superior craftmanship. We are delighted to bring this world-class combination to visitors at Southampton Boat Show – uniting our brands to demonstrate the perfect Honda-Highfield boat-engine matches and to showcase the latest innovations and developments from both companies. We look forward to welcoming many visitors to the stand in September.”
Steve Harrison, Global Product Manager, Highfield Boats, added: “We are proud to once again collaborate with Honda Marine, showcasing our longstanding partnership and to launch our newest model at SIBS 2025. The all-new ADV7 is the first crossover performance boat on the market and will redefine the future of this sector. The Honda BF250 is the perfect partner to this ground-breaking vessel. We will also highlight our new Coaster 54 that has been designed specifically to help people to get into our wonderful on-water world, with a package price that makes boating accessible again to many families.”
Open on all four sides, the joint stand is designed to create an accessible and airy space for visitors and customers to easily walk around and view the boats and engines. There will be a sheltered area in the centre under three stretched fabric sails, seating areas and a glass enclosure for meetings.
Leading producer of high-performance and durable aluminium RIBs and tenders, Highfield Boats will display five boats at Southampton Boat Show, matched with the following Honda engines:
- Sport 900 with BF350 – Highfield’s largest cruising RIB with a maximum crew of 19
