MC-ZERO 450 debut

Written by

MC-ZERO TENDERS made its world debut at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, March 25-29, 2026, and celebrated its European launch at the Palma International Boat Show, April 29-May 2, 2026.

McConaghy Yachts has partnered with ZeroJet to launch MC-ZERO Tenders and its flagship MC-ZERO 450, redefining the electric tender market.

Built around a rigid carbon hull and a world first, patent pending movable helm, the MC-ZERO 450 delivers 40% more internal volume than a traditional RIB and unmatched versatility.

Its fly-by-wire modular deck shifts from shuttle to gear hauler in minutes, while twin electric jets provide redundancy for remote cruising.
Powered by twin 30kW ZeroJet drives and a 48V solidstate battery system, the 450 offers quiet, clean performance with no engine noise, emissions, or maintenance. Developed by McConaghy Boats and New Zealand based ZeroJet, MC-ZERO combines highperformance carbon expertise with advanced electric propulsion to create the next generation of yacht tenders.
