Hornet Marine
Tenders: Hornet Marine
While Hornet Marine has only existed in its current incarnation since 2009, the company is built on generations of boating enthusiasts and inventors. In 1966, a team including engineer Hal Hartmann—father of Hornet’s founder David Hartmann—proved the viability of jet turbine engines in extreme conditions by applying them to a marine environment and winning the Sam Griffith Memorial Race by 70 miles.
