EJET, led by the young and talented entrepreneur, Žiga Jarc, celebrates the remarkable achievements of his company with the unveiling of the groundbreaking 4X electric jet yacht tender model in a very short time. This high-performance electric tender not only redefines the standards in the marine industry but also stands as the world's first high-performance electric jet tender, showcasing exceptional advancements in speed, range, sustainability, and customer experience.

The key features of the EJET 4X Electric Tender below are the result of their dedication to excellence:

Unprecedented Performance: The 4X boasts a top speed of 33 knots, setting a new benchmark for electric jet tenders. With a range of 40 nautical miles, it outperforms all other competitors in the market.

Powerful Electric Motor: Driven by a 70 kW continuous power electric motor, the 4X is equipped with an electric control unit featuring three efficiency modes - Eco, Normal, and Power. This dynamic system is effortlessly managed through the tender's intuitive 7-inch touchscreen.

Smart Battery Management: The 46.2 kWh battery pack ensures an impressive 40 nautical miles on a single charge. Owners can choose between fixed charging stations on yachts or using portable cables with integrated charging stations which can be used to charge the tender anywhere with an AC outlet.

Rapid Recharge: The 4X sets a new standard in recharge times, with an eight-hour charge using a standard 6kW charger and a mere four hours on a fast 12kW charger.

Versatile Design: With a 5' 7" beam, weighing 1,477 pounds, and drawing just 1' 1" fully loaded, the 4X excels in navigating shallow waters and beaching for picnics. Additional features include a ski hook for watersports, hydraulic steering, LED lighting, optional underwater lights, and a safety-focused actuator system for rapid emergency stops.

Founded in Slovenia in 2016, EJET continues to push the boundaries of electric marine propulsion. The company is already working on a larger 9X model version of the 4X, showcasing its commitment to innovation and sustainability. This 9m superyacht tender features a hydraulic platform, electric grill, ice maker, refrigerator and other amazing features that bring an elevated user experience. The new 9X model will be available to the first customers in Q2 of 2024.

Žiga Jarc emphasized, "The most crucial element in designing a new product is the customer experience." Their goal with the 9X was to incorporate numerous remarkable features, leveraging the full advantages of electric propulsion and a 220 kWh battery pack. This allows the tender to power all appliances for days, if not weeks, without requiring a recharge.

The 9X stands out not only as an exceptional Superyacht tender but also as an ideal day boat for enjoying quality time with family and friends on both the sea and lakes. Particularly in places where traditional combustion engines face increasing limitations, the 9X proves to be a versatile and reliable choice.
