The availability of SOLAS tender technology on our DieselJet 505, 565 and 625 tenders represents a total commitment to your safety when you’re out on the seas. All without compromising the signature Williams Jet experience.
DieselJet SOLAS tenders from Williams bring rigorous, internationally recognized safety standards together with the signature Williams driving experience. Available on the DieselJet 505, 565, and 625, our SOLAS-certified models are engineered for reliability in demanding conditions, without sacrificing agility, comfort, or luxury.
SOLAS stands for Safety of Life at Sea and is an internationally recognized safety standard in the construction, maintenance, and operation of seafaring vessels. So when you’re driving – or being driven in – a SOLAS DieselJet 505, 565 and 625, you can be confident about your safety. And concentrate on enjoying the ride.
While SOLAS certification is mandatory for yachts of 500GT and above, many US owners and captains also choose SOLAS for added assurance, without giving up the performance, maneuverability, and luxury finish that define a Williams tender. Our DieselJet SOLAS range delivers precisely that balance.
As such, we offer two SOLAS-certified DieselJet tenders – the 505, 565 and 625 – to give you the signature Williams ride that you want with the stringent safety measures that you need.

SOLAS regulations are rigorous – and in meeting them, our SOLAS tenders have some key differences from the rest of our range, such as the inclusion of a self-righting mechanism.
In the (highly unlikely) event of your SOLAS tender capsizing, our built-in rollover framework inflates and rights the boat, no matter the weather conditions. So you can always feel confident and secure when out at sea. US‑focused support is built in, too. Our nationwide dealer network assists with specification, commissioning, and after‑sales service, ensuring your SOLAS tender is ready for shipyard delivery, management company requirements, and ongoing operations.
As well as the rollover framework, our DieselJet SOLAS tenders feature a SOLAS approved Yanmar Diesel engine, fire-retardant laminate structure, and a self-righting mechanism, making our SOLAS tenders as robust as they need to be.
To achieve SOLAS certification, every tender must pass demanding tests, including three‑meter drop tests, impact swings into rigid walls, and forced inversion. Williams designs to meet these standards with confidence.
While all our tenders are CE-certified, and more than meet industry safety standards, many tender owners don’t need the additional functionality of a SOLAS rescue tender.
But for those who do – especially those with yachts that weigh more than 500GT – we want to ensure they don’t have to choose between SOLAS certification and the very best tenders on the market.
