Williams Jet Tenders TurboJet MX and Evene Origin 57 make US debuts at Fort Lauderdale Boat Show

Williams Jet Tenders and sister brand Evene Tenders are taking two launches to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (October 28 – November 1, 2026) this year. Williams will give its new TurboJet MX range its North American debut, while Evene, making its first appearance, will show the Origin 57 superyacht tender on a dedicated stand. Williams was founded in 2004 by Roy Parker and brothers Mathew and John Hornsby, and Evene is the brothers’ latest venture. Williams builds its tenders at an 80,000 sq ft facility in Oxfordshire.

The TurboJet MX range was developed to make Williams Jet Tender ownership more accessible at what the company calls a significantly more competitive price. The TurboJet 280MX is priced from $26,950 and the TurboJet 320MX from $29,950, excluding tariffs and sales tax, ex Pompano Beach, Florida.

The 2.79m TurboJet 280MX has a BRP Rotax ACE 903 60hp engine, carries three adults and one child and reaches up to 42mph. The 3.19m TurboJet 320MX takes four adults and one child and uses an upgraded 90hp engine for up to 45mph. Williams says both have improved performance, stability and handling, along with new upholstery and a choice of white or grey tubes. They also claim the range is approximately 30% lighter than competing jet tenders, and it is aimed at existing owners replacing an older tender as well as first-time buyers.

The Origin 57 is the first model in Evene’s Origin Series and is designed for yachts over 30 metres. The 5.7m tender carries up to nine guests and rides on a Petestep® hull, designed to reduce hydrodynamic resistance by harnessing spray energy. Evene says this gives a softer, quieter and more efficient ride with improved stability, and the hull carries the brand’s signature scallop detail.

The cork decking comes from regenerative cork forests, and removable eco-upholstery is available in Vestige fabrics. Power comes from a YANMAR 4LV diesel engine approved for HVO 100 fuel, which Evene says can cut net CO2 emissions by up to 97% compared with standard diesel, depending on fuel source and operating conditions. Equipment includes a Raymarine Axiom 12-inch display, Fusion audio, LED-illuminated footwells and accessory mounts that can take mountain bikes. Each tender is built to order and can be finished in bespoke colours with the mothership’s logo.

Evene has also announced the Quest Series, a premium beachlander tender scheduled for launch in 2027. The company says the Quest 72 will be as comfortable landing guests on secluded shorelines as it is supporting busy days on the water.
