About this tender

Williams EvoJet 70 - what we know.

The EvoJet 70 is the build we ask Williams for when the programme needs a full-sized jet tender rather than a compact runabout. At 7.1m and 2.65m beam, it carries thirteen people with genuine deck space to spare, and the Yanmar 4LV common-rail diesel delivers the immediate, lag-free response that jet propulsion is known for. Williams specifies this hull for motherships of 40m and above, and the proportions bear that out.

What sets it apart from a straight size comparison with RIB alternatives is the helm environment. A rotating bolster lets the driver work seated or standing; a single-lever throttle handles shift and trim together; and the Raymarine Axiom 9-inch MFD with depth sounder and chartplotter comes as standard rather than as a chargeable option. The 235 litres of distributed storage - behind the helm seat, port and starboard lockers, and a dedicated anchor locker - means the crew can run a practical day programme without improvising.

The optional folding carbon fibre T-top addresses the garage constraint that makes full-height superstructure impractical on many vessels. Stowed, it brings overall height down to 1.42m, which opens up tender garages that would otherwise rule out a boat of this beam. If your garage is tight on height but comfortable on width, that option is worth specifying at order stage rather than retrofitting.

Highlights

Built for the work.

The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.

01

Yanmar 4LV common-rail diesel

The 250 hp Yanmar 4LV is a proven common-rail diesel with a global service network. It drives a jet pump rather than a propeller, giving the EvoJet 70 its characteristic instant throttle response and removing the prop-strike risk in shallow or congested anchorages.

02

235 litres of onboard storage

Storage is distributed across an easy-access unit behind the helm seat, port and starboard lockers, a centralised compartment, and a dedicated anchor locker. At 235 litres total, it is a meaningful figure for a tender of this size and reduces the need for deck clutter on a full day out.

03

Folding carbon fibre T-top option

The optional T-top is fabricated in carbon fibre and folds down to bring the boat within tight garage height constraints. It provides shade over the helm and passenger area when deployed, and its folding mechanism means the decision does not have to be made at the dock.

04

Raymarine Axiom 9 MFD as standard

A Raymarine Axiom 9-inch multifunction display with integrated depth sounder and chartplotter is fitted as standard equipment. Twin chartplotter, AIS, VHF, and a Fusion audio system are all available as factory options, giving captains a clear upgrade path without third-party integration.

05

Rotating helm bolster

The adjustable seat bolster rotates to allow the driver to operate seated or standing at the helm. Combined with a quick-release adjustable steering wheel and a folding helm console with bonded windscreen, it gives the helm position a degree of ergonomic flexibility uncommon at this price point.

Questions, answered

Before you enquire.

What size mothership does the EvoJet 70 suit?
Williams specifies the EvoJet 70 for yachts of 40m and above. At 7.1m LOA and 2,000 kg dry weight, it requires a garage or davit arrangement sized for that class of vessel. The folding carbon fibre T-top option reduces overall height to 1.42m, which helps with tighter garage openings.
Why jet propulsion rather than a sterndrive or outboard on a boat this size?
Jet drive removes the exposed propeller, which matters in shallow anchorages and during boarding from the water. It also gives immediate throttle response with no gearbox lag at low speed, which makes precision manoeuvring alongside a superyacht significantly easier. The trade-off is slightly higher fuel consumption at cruise compared with a well-matched sterndrive.
Is the Yanmar 4LV engine easy to service on passage?
The Yanmar 4LV common-rail diesel is supported by a global dealer and service network, which Williams notes explicitly. For a tender following a yacht on a transatlantic or Pacific programme, that breadth of coverage is a practical consideration, not just a marketing point.
Can the EvoJet 70 be specified for MCA compliance?
MCA compliant high-visibility patches are listed as a factory option. Buyers requiring full MCA Workboat Code compliance for commercial operation should discuss the complete equipment fit with Williams directly, as the source page does not detail the full certification configuration.
What is the onboard storage capacity and how is it arranged?
Total onboard storage is 235 litres, distributed across an easy-access locker behind the helm seat, port and starboard lockers, a centralised storage compartment, and a dedicated anchor locker. This allows the crew to separate safety and navigation equipment from passenger luggage and water-sports kit.
Does the folding T-top affect the boat's davit or crane lift?
The T-top is fabricated in carbon fibre and folds down to reduce the overall height to 1.42m. Custom and single-point lifting arrangements are available as factory options, and Williams offers custom lifting points as a separate specification. Buyers should confirm the stowed envelope with their yacht's naval architect before ordering.

The yard

Williams

Oxfordshire, UK

Williams Jet Tenders is a British manufacturer founded in 2004 by Roy Parker and brothers Mathew and John Hornsby, building out of an 80,000 sq ft purpose-built facility in Oxfordshire, England. The company traces its roots to a converted garden shed in rural Oxfordshire where the Hornsby brothers began handcrafting boats in the mid-1990s; the formal company registration followed in September 2004.

Williams is the build we ask for when an owner's programme demands a jet-propelled tender that earns its keep across the full yachting day - short transfers, watersports, and heavy guest loads alike. Their proposition is volume: six ranges, seventeen-plus models, covering yachts from 38ft to 40m and above. The entry-level TurboJet and SportJet lines use BRP Rotax petrol engines and jet drive propulsion with no exposed propeller, carrying up to seven passengers at speeds into the upper-forties of knots. The DieselJet range steps up to Yanmar inboard diesels and seating for six to twelve, suited to larger platforms. For programmes running a 40m-plus mothership, the EvoJet 70 is the build to specify: a 7.0m waterjet-powered craft with inboard diesel, seating for thirteen, and multiple boarding locations. SOLAS-compliant variants of the 505, 565, and 625 cover mandatory life-safety requirements for yachts over 500GT without abandoning the standard Williams fit and finish.

Every hull is hand-built by a dedicated team and undergoes an on-water test procedure before dispatch. Williams holds strong factory-fitment relationships with Princess, Sunseeker, Fairline, Azimut Benetti, Ferretti, and Sanlorenzo, with many production models dimensioned specifically around a Williams garage. We'd put the brand alongside the best-supported tender choices in the market at this price tier.
