Visitors to the show will have the opportunity to see the TurboJet 280MX and TurboJet 320MX for the first time, marking an important milestone for Williams Jet Tenders as it expands its latest range into the US market. Meanwhile, Evene Tenders will make its first appearance, showcasing the Origin 57 on a dedicated stand.
Together, these launches demonstrate the breadth of its tender brands, from making premium jet tender ownership more accessible through the MX range, to redefining the superyacht tender experience with Evene.
Williams Jet Tenders brings new TurboJet MX range to North America
The new TurboJet MX range was developed to make premium Williams jet tender ownership more accessible, combining the quality, performance and reliability for which Williams is known with a significantly more competitive price point.
The range comprises the TurboJet 280MX, priced from $26,950, and TurboJet 320MX, priced from $29,950 Ex Tariff, ex Sales Tax, ex Popmano Beach, FL.
At 2.79m in length, the TurboJet 280MX is powered by a BRP Rotax ACE 903 60HP engine, carries three adults and one child, and reaches speeds of up to 42mph. The larger 3.19m TurboJet 320MX carries four adults and one child and is powered by an upgraded 90HP engine, reaching up to 45mph.
Both models have been extensively tested and engineered to Williams’ exacting standards, with enhancements to performance, stability and handling alongside a new contemporary upholstery design and a choice of white or grey tubes.
The MX range is approximately 30% lighter than competing jet tenders and offers a significantly more accessible price point, making it an attractive option for both existing Williams owners looking to replace an older tender and customers entering the jet tender market for the first time.
“TurboJet MX represents an important evolution for Williams,” said Mathew Hornsby, Commercial Director at Williams Jet Tenders. “We’ve listened carefully to the market and recognised an opportunity to deliver a tender that maintains the quality, performance and ownership experience customers expect from Williams, while opening the door to a broader audience. Fort Lauderdale is the perfect place to introduce the MX range to the North American market.”
Evene Tenders Origin 57 makes its US debut
The Origin 57, the first model in Evene’s Origin Series. is designed specifically for yachts over 30 metres. The 5.7m tender can accommodate up to nine guests and combines luxury, performance and responsible craftsmanship in a purpose-built superyacht tender.
At the heart of the Origin 57 is Evene’s revolutionary Petestep® hull, designed to reduce hydrodynamic resistance by harnessing spray energy. The result is a softer, quieter and more efficient ride, with improved stability on the water. The hull incorporates Evene’s signature scallop detail, reflecting the brand’s focus on combining distinctive design with functional performance.
Sustainability is central to the Origin 57. Its cork decking is sourced from regenerative cork forests, while removable eco-upholstery is available using Vestige fabrics. The tender is powered by a YANMAR 4LV diesel engine approved for HVO 100 fuel, enabling a reduction in net CO2 emissions of up to 97% compared with standard diesel*.
The Origin 57 also features a Raymarine Axiom 12” multifunction display, Fusion audio system, custom Evene steering wheel and boarding pole, LED-illuminated footwells and versatile accessory mounts designed to accommodate equipment including mountain bikes.
Created to order, the Origin 57 can be extensively customised with bespoke finishes, colour schemes and yacht logos, allowing each tender to be tailored to its mothership.
Mathew continues: “The response to the Origin Series has reinforced the appetite for a new approach to superyacht tender design, bringing together exceptional craftsmanship, performance and more responsible materials without compromise. We’re delighted to bring the Origin 57 to Fort Lauderdale for its US debut, giving owners, captains and industry professionals the chance to experience first-hand our vision for the next generation of superyacht tenders.”

Evene Tenders recently announced the forthcoming launch of the Quest Series, an exciting new premium beachlander tender that redefines the role of the superyacht tender.
