The collaboration includes a bespoke customization project for Ocon’s own Williams SportJet 520.
From Track to Tide: A Natural Fit
Ocon, who began his F1 career in 2016 and secured his first Grand Prix victory in Hungary in 2021, has built his reputation on precision, technical skill, and consistent performance. His alignment with high-performance engineering makes him a strong match for Williams Marine’s reputation in marine design.
I have been a big fan of the Williams Jet Tenders brand for some time having spent many holidays using their boats."
Ocon shared that he has long admired Williams Jet Tenders after using their boats during past holidays. He described the opportunity to design and personalize his own SportJet 520 - the brand’s most powerful model powered by a familiar Rotax engine - as a personal milestone. He noted that Williams’ craftsmanship and performance set the benchmark in the sector and expressed enthusiasm about taking his customized tender out on the water.
Bespoke SportJet 520: Performance on the Water
Central to the collaboration is the customization of a Williams SportJet 520, the company’s flagship model, powered by a high-performance Rotax engine. Ocon will work directly with the Williams factory and their Jet Tenders design team to tailor the vessel to his preferences.
[Ocon's] passion for performance, precision, and innovation mirrors our own values as a brand."
Head of Marketing
Williams Jet Tenders
Tom Dowdell, Head of Marketing at Williams Jet Tenders and Evene Tenders, said the company is delighted to welcome Ocon to the Williams Marine Group family. He noted that Ocon’s passion for performance, precision, and forward-thinking design aligns closely with the brand’s own values. Dowdell added that having an F1 driver of Ocon’s caliber choose Williams underscores the quality and reputation of its tenders, and the team looks forward to seeing him enjoy his customized SportJet 520 on the water.
Strategic Advantage for Williams Marine
By bringing on a high-profile figure like Ocon, Williams Marine Group positions itself at the intersection of elite motorsport and premium marine engineering. The brand gains visibility in motorsport circles while reinforcing its credentials to precision and performance-minded consumers.
For Ocon, the partnership offers a creative extension beyond racing, letting him engage in applied engineering and design in a fresh domain.
As the boat build progresses, both parties will likely share updates on the design process, performance metrics, and launch plans. For now, the agreement marks a statement that the values of speed, technical excellence, and bespoke engineering apply not just on the track but on the water.
