Williams Jet Tenders, a specialist in jet-powered luxury tenders, has launched the Electric EvoJet. This model is an evolution of the EvoJet 70, introduced in 2019, and offers electrified performance with a focus on reducing emissions.

The all-electric EvoJet 70E retains key features from the EvoJet 70, including a carbon fibre T-Top, ski pole, storage, premium audio system, single-point lift and LED deck lights. It’s main point of difference is the zero-emission propulsion system, which Williams says is aligned with its commitment to sustainability in the marine industry.

“We are incredibly excited to introduce the Electric EvoJet to the market as a technology demonstrator,” says Mathew Hornsby, commercial director at Williams Jet Tenders. “We continue to thoroughly test this model to ensure it meets our exacting standards but are pleased to showcase what’s possible with the technology at Cannes and Monaco Yacht Show.

“We look forward to discussing yacht integration opportunities with OEMs, as well as the future of electric boats in the marine industry.”

The EvoJet 70E features a Garmin-screen electric system from EVOA.

Charging is completed in one hour with a fast charger, offering 56 minutes of operation on a typical cycle.
