UAE-based Asis Boats, a leading manufacturer of rigid inflatable boats for leisure, commercial and military customers, has reported record sales of 12 of its electric jet tenders at this year’s Dubai International Boat Show.

The sale highlights the growing appetite for eco-friendly marine solutions in the yachting world, said a statement from the company.

The 3.2 m electric jet driven support craft offers a more efficient, economical and convenient alternative to traditional fuel-powered tenders, it added.

Roy Nouhra, founder and president of ASIS Boats, said:  “Interest in our new product has been overwhelming, not only with the number of immediate sales at the show, but also the significant number of enquiries we have received from boat owners around the world.”

“It is clear that a new cleaner and more eco-friendly alternative for support craft is very attractive for the yachting world, particularly as our product doesn’t compromise on power or performance,” he said.

“The electric jet tender also improves safety on board yachts, alleviating the need to carry tanks of highly flammable fuel and additional haz mat equipment on board,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
