11' Jet-Powered Tender to Debut in Ft. Lauderdale

Amid the grandeur of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show will be an 11' jewel glistening in the South Florida sun. The Argos Nautic 330 Jet is a bespoke five-passenger RIB tender powered by an intercooled turbo engine coupled to a waterjet. Marrying unbridled adrenaline with lavish opulence, its FLIBS debut is at Orange Zone Land 1001.

A Boating Industry Top Product, the Argos Nautic 330 Jet was designed to solve the space issues common in many 50'–70' yachts. With an innovative center console that folds down and no bulky outboard, its storage size is a mere 129" L x 68" W x 40"" H. Fully rigged, it's only 750 lbs.

Like all Argos Nautic tenders, the 330 Jet is semi-custom. Whether it's to match the boat's mothership or the latest trend in haute couture, a broad palette of colors, patterns and textures await the discriminating owner.

Only the finest components are chosen to complement the boat. Owners who are used to being behind the wheel of a luxury automobile will appreciate the attention to detail, from the premium tilt Isotta steering wheel to the handcrafted teak and holly sole, nothing is overlooked.

Famed Italian naval architect Andrea Colli designed the 330 Jet to envelop its passengers in unprecedented comfort, without scaling-back in the amount of legroom or storage provided. An ample swim platform with integrated ladder turns the 330 Jet into the perfect boat for exploring.

The ride in a 330 Jet is smooth and dry. Colli's hull shape provides rigid sure-footedness, whether in the chop or carving turns at speed.

Power for the 330 Jet is provided by an up to a 100 hp Textron 850 MPE. It has a WOT top speed of up to 48 mph, depending on the engine.
