Petestep, the Swedish marine tech company renowned for its pioneering hull designs, has partnered with the newly launched Evene Tenders, the sister brand to Williams Jet Tenders. The collaboration sees the debut of two striking models—the Evene Origin 57 and Origin 71—engineered to serve the luxury demands of superyacht owners while placing sustainability and performance at the heart of their design.
Developed in tandem with Oliver Browne, Head of Product Development at Williams Jet Tenders and Evene Tenders, the Origin Series harnesses Petestep’s patented technology to reduce slamming, boost fuel efficiency and deliver a smoother, quieter ride. “A Petestep hull was a crucial ingredient,” Browne noted, describing the role of the Swedish firm’s data-led design methods in the development process.
The partnership has yielded such confidence in performance that Evene moved straight to production tooling for its second model, the Origin 71, based on Petestep’s accurate simulations.
More than just luxury vessels, the Origin models reflect a forward-thinking commitment to eco-conscious design. Built with sustainable materials where possible, and compatible with HVO 100 fuel, the boats can achieve up to a 97% reduction in net CO₂ emissions compared to conventional diesel.
“Evene Tenders are great applications of Petestep technology and represent a new benchmark in the leisure boating industry,” said Petestep CEO Jonas Danielsson. “The results were fully in line with our expectations.”
The Origin 57 and 71 will be unveiled to the public at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival, showcased alongside models from Williams Jet Tenders. Orders are now open, with first deliveries scheduled for early 2026.
