Williams and Evene bring new tender ranges to Fort Lauderdale

2 min read

Williams Jet Tenders and sister brand Evene Tenders will debut new ranges at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, with the North American launch of Williams' TurboJet MX line and the first US appearance of Evene's Origin 57 superyacht tender.

The TurboJet MX range comprises two models developed to lower the barrier to Williams ownership while retaining the brand's performance standards. The 2.79m TurboJet 280MX, priced from US$26,950 ex-tariff and ex-sales-tax, carries three adults and one child and reaches 42mph with its 60hp BRP Rotax ACE 903 engine. The larger 3.19m TurboJet 320MX, from US$29,950 on the same basis, accommodates four adults and one child and tops out at 45mph with a 90hp engine.

Both models are approximately 30% lighter than competing jet tenders, according to Williams, with contemporary upholstery and a choice of white or grey tubes.

"We've listened carefully to the market and recognised an opportunity to deliver a tender that maintains the quality, performance and ownership experience customers expect from Williams, while opening the door to a broader audience," said Mathew Hornsby, Commercial Director at Williams Jet Tenders.

Evene Tenders will make its first appearance at the show with the Origin 57, a 5.7m superyacht tender designed for vessels over 30 metres. The model accommodates nine guests and features Evene's Petestep hull, which the company says reduces hydrodynamic resistance by harnessing spray energy for improved efficiency and stability.

Sustainability features include cork decking from regenerative forests, removable eco-upholstery using Vestige fabrics, and a YANMAR 4LV diesel engine approved for HVO 100 fuel. Evene claims this enables net CO2 emission reductions of up to 97% compared with standard diesel, depending on fuel source and operating conditions.

The Origin 57 also carries Raymarine Axiom 12" multifunction display, Fusion audio, LED-illuminated footwells and accessory mounts for equipment including mountain bikes. Each tender is built to order with custom finishes and yacht logos.

Hornsby said the Origin Series response "has reinforced the appetite for a new approach to superyacht tender design, bringing together exceptional craftsmanship, performance and more responsible materials without compromise."

Evene has also announced the Quest Series, with the 72 beachlander tender scheduled for 2027 launch.
