Petestep Architecture: The British Strike on the Miami Beach Yacht Collection
The Collins Avenue Deployment
The Miami International Boat Show 2026 served as the staging ground for a significant professional milestone: the US arrival of Evene Tenders. Stationed at the prestigious Miami Beach Yacht Collection on Collins Avenue, the brand—a subsidiary of the Williams Marine Group—officially broke cover with the Origin Series. Led by Lauren Sparkman, Sales Manager of Williams Tenders USA, the team conducted detailed walkthroughs of the fleet, signaling a move to capture the high-end American market with a blend of British artisanal skill and aggressive eco-performance.
Petestep Hull Architecture
At the center of the Origin 57 and 71 models is the patented Petestep® hull technology. This isn’t just an aesthetic choice; it is a functional shift in how a tender intercepts the water. By redirecting spray energy to reduce hydrodynamic resistance, the Petestep design delivers a quieter, more stable ride that mocks the jarring impact of traditional V-hulls. The distinctive scalloped hull detailing provides a signature visual profile while simultaneously enhancing fuel longevity and open-water tracking.
Sustainable Power Logic
The Origin Series addresses the growing demand for environmental autonomy without sacrificing raw performance. Both models utilize Yanmar 4LV diesel engines that are fully compatible with HVO 100 renewable fuel. This allows for a massive 97% reduction in net carbon emissions compared to standard diesel setups. It is a calculated move for owners who prioritize sustainability during their transit between the mother ship and the shore, proving that high-tier luxury can operate with a minimal footprint.
Aerospace and Regenerative Materials
The interior of these tenders reflects a commitment to regenerative sourcing. Evene has replaced traditional teak with cork decking harvested from sustainable forests, offering a durable, high-grip surface that stays cool under the Florida sun. This is paired with Spradling Vestige eco-upholstery, a material choice that emphasizes environmental integrity without losing the sleek, modern feel required for the superyacht circuit. The deck patterns even feature coordinates celebrating the brand’s Oxfordshire roots, adding a layer of heritage to the technical build.
The Command Center
The helm of the Origin series functions as a digital hub for the modern operator. Each unit is equipped with a Raymarine Axiom 12” multifunction display, providing integrated chartplotting and depth sounding with surgical precision. The audio environment is managed by a Fusion system with six high-output speakers, while custom Evene steering wheels and LED-illuminated footwells provide a refined ambiance for late-night transfers. Customization remains a primary asset, with owners able to match yacht logos and bespoke color schemes through a dedicated configurator.
The New Tender Standard
The presence of Evene Tenders in Miami marks a clear evolution in the Williams Marine Group’s global strategy. By introducing the Origin 57 and 71 to the Americas, they have provided a sophisticated alternative to standard tender options. The successful debut on Collins Avenue confirms that American owners are ready for a tender that combines high-speed capability with a serious sense of responsibility. As these units begin to populate the swim platforms of the US fleet, the baseline for craftsmanship has been permanently elevated.
