Our verdict
Williams Jet Tenders, founded in Oxfordshire (UK) in 2004, dominates the jet tender niche: tenders propelled by waterjet instead of a propeller. That makes them ideal for a yacht garage (minimal draft, contained length) and for swim areas (no exposed propeller). Standard or optional equipment at yards like Sunseeker, Princess and Fairline. Quality and price at the top of the market.
Strengths
- Jet propulsion: no propeller, maximum safety for swimmers and towed sports
- Minimal draft and compact size for yacht garages
- Luxury finish and sporty performance (Minijet, Turbojet, Sportjet, Dieseljet lines)
- De facto standard on 15 m+ yachts with a garage
Things to consider
- Premium purchase and maintenance costs
- The jet requires specialist servicing
- Less efficient than a propeller at low speed
- Overkill as a simple anchorage tender
Who is it for? Owners of yachts with a garage who want a sporty, safe, luxury tender.
