Great Combo: the Highfield EJET330 with Zer0Jet

This marketing video showcases the EJET330, Highfield’s electric jet tender, created in partnership with Zer0Jet.

For its size the luxurious, compact tender boasts the world’s highest performance propulsion system for small boats.

Equipped with a powerful 48v 18kw drivetrain, it reaches speeds of up to 20 knots and offers a comfortable range.

Of course, it’s a tender and not a rigid inflatable boat designed for open sea adventures.

Proud to share that Highfield is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.

The Williams Composites Story

Williams ‘By Design’ – Composites Explained

Mark Colbourne, the concert manager at Williams Jet Tenders, details their manufacturing process.

It begins with CNC cutting and proceeds through various coating stages, infusion, bonding, trimming, and finishing.

Mark Colbourne, composite manager, notes a trend towards darker colors in recent years. This trend poses challenges in finishing but also offers opportunities for innovation.

British Built Williams Jet Tenders prioritizes sustainability by incorporating recycled materials like P cores made from soft drink bottles.

They also explore future resin systems for fully recyclable boats. I hope they succeed.

Ofcourse there is already Danu™ that is being used and is fully recyclable. It is done by Ultimate Boats.
