Williams Jet Tenders, a renowned leader in luxury tenders, is redefining the superyacht tender industry with the introduction of the Electric EvoJet 70e. Unveiled at the prestigious Cannes Yachting Festival 2024, the Electric EvoJet is a pioneering model that combines high-performance, sustainable design, and luxury. Building on the success of the EvoJet 70, which was first launched in 2019, this all-electric tender offers an impressive zero-emission propulsion system capable of reaching speeds up to 40 mph while maintaining the premium features that superyacht owners demand.
The Electric EvoJet can comfortably accommodate up to 13 passengers, making it an ideal choice for large yachts. The cutting-edge technology incorporated into the Electric EvoJet includes a 58.5kWh lithium-ion battery, providing long-range power, and a custom Garmin multi-function display that offers real-time information on battery range, temperature, and charge status. One of the standout features of this tender is its fast-charging capability, with the battery able to be fully charged in just one hour, allowing for 56 minutes of operation—perfect for short, yet efficient trips between a superyacht and shore.
This bold step toward sustainable marine innovation has already earned industry-wide recognition. At the 2024 IBI Boat Builder Awards, held on the 20th of November, Williams Jet Tenders was awarded Sustainability Project of the Year, in recognition of its comprehensive and forward-thinking sustainability initiatives. The company’s efforts to reduce its environmental impact were highlighted by the judges, who noted Williams’ multi-faceted approach, including life cycle assessments for its models, the publication of an annual sustainability report, and its commitment to using renewable energy sources.
The accolades don’t stop there. The Electric EvoJet has also been nominated for The Gussies Electric Boat Awards in the category of Concept/Development Electric Boats: Up to 8m/26ft. These awards, named after French inventor Gustave Trouvé, celebrate the most innovative advancements in clean, quiet, and zero-emission marine technologies. Voting for the Gussies is open until November 30, 2024, and the winners will be announced shortly after.
As the exclusive dealer for Williams Jet Tenders in Portugal, Soproyachts is proud to partner with a brand that is demonstrating how performance, innovation, and sustainability can coexist in the modern marine world. The Electric EvoJet is just one example of how Williams is shaping the future of the superyacht industry, and we look forward to seeing how it will continue to inspire change and progress in the years to come.
