Williams Jet Tenders have become the gold standard for luxury yacht owners seeking the perfect blend of performance, style, and practicality. These tenders are powered by reliable jet propulsion systems that offer superior maneuverability, safety, and speed—making them ideal for everything from docking assistance to thrilling coastal excursions. Unlike traditional propeller-driven boats, the jet system allows for shallow water access and minimizes the risk of injury or damage, especially when beaching or swimming. This innovation, combined with whisper-quiet operation and responsive handling, ensures a smooth and sophisticated ride that matches the caliber of any motor yacht or sportfishing experience.
Beyond performance, Williams Jet Tenders are crafted with meticulous attention to detail and premium materials, seamlessly aligning with the aesthetics and expectations of high-end yacht owners. With a wide range of models—from the nimble Turbojet to the spacious and luxurious DieselJet—owners can choose a tender that perfectly complements their mothership’s size and purpose. Customizable finishes, ergonomic seating, integrated tech, and intuitive controls reflect the brand’s commitment to comfort and quality. Whether used for guest transport, exploration, or watersports, a Williams Jet Tender is more than just a support vessel—it’s an extension of the luxury lifestyle at sea.

The history of Williams Jet Tenders is a story of innovation, craftsmanship, and evolution from a small family business into the world leader in luxury yacht tenders. Founded in the UK in 1996 by brothers Mathew and John Hornsby, Williams started as a marine engineering company specializing in servicing and customizing boats. Their big breakthrough came in 2004, when they introduced the TurboJet 325—the world’s first small luxury tender powered by a four-stroke jet engine. This was a game-changing alternative to conventional prop-driven tenders, offering better maneuverability, safety, and a sleek, compact design that could easily fit in a yacht’s garage. The success of the TurboJet sparked rapid growth, and Williams soon expanded its range to include larger and more specialized tenders, such as the DieselJet, SportJet, and MiniJet lines—each designed to meet the needs of different yacht sizes and lifestyles. Over the years, the company has continued to invest in in-house design, R&D, and manufacturing at its factory in Oxfordshire, ensuring total control over quality and innovation. Today, Williams Jet Tenders is recognized as the global leader in jet-powered yacht tenders, with thousands of units delivered to major yacht builders and private owners worldwide.
