Crafting bespoke luxury tenders with innovation and sustainability
Falcon Tenders is a British company that, despite its short trajectory as an independent brand, has successfully established itself as a benchmark in the design and manufacture of bespoke tenders. From its facilities in Southampton, the company combines artisanal tradition with a contemporary vision to create vessels that not only fulfil the function of transporting guests from yacht to shore, but also transform that journey into a true ritual of sophistication and comfort.
Officially founded in 2021 by Mark Pascoe and Dean Stoneman, Falcon Tenders inherits a long history of innovation and expertise in the nautical sector. Pascoe, with a consolidated reputation in the construction of high-performance boats, was responsible for the tenders designed for the iconic Maltese Falcon in 2005, which inspired the name and philosophy of the new company. Stoneman, for his part, contributes the technical precision and competitive mindset he acquired in the world of motorsport and in the construction of performance craft. The combination of both leaderships has resulted in a company which, in just a few years, has secured a prestigious position among the most demanding shipyards and superyacht owners worldwide.
The Falcon Tenders facilities, covering more than two thousand square metres, are dedicated to working with next-generation composite materials. There, a team with over 150 years of accumulated experience has completed more than two hundred projects that reflect a perfect balance between design, innovation and craftsmanship. Every tender that leaves their hands is unique: there are no series-produced models or standardised configurations. Instead, the creative process is focused on interpreting the wishes and needs of the owner, transforming them into vessels that range from elegant enclosed limousines to open launches for excursions or water sports.
Extreme customisation is one of the company’s most distinctive traits, but so too is its commitment to sustainability. At a time when the nautical industry faces increasing environmental pressures, Falcon Tenders has chosen to integrate hybrid diesel-electric technologies that allow silent navigation with zero emissions in harbours and coastal areas. Their designs also include the use of gyroscopic stabilisers that ensure comfort even in rough seas, as well as the incorporation of responsible materials such as bio-based epoxy resins and leathers of certified traceability.
This commitment to sustainable innovation does not diminish the luxury of their vessels in the slightest. On the contrary, it makes them even more exclusive creations, capable of anticipating future regulations and meeting the expectations of a new generation of yacht owners who seek to align pleasure with environmental awareness.
