With its newly unveiled 11-metre custom tender, Falcon Tenders and Tim Heywood Design have set out to prove that a compact platform can still deliver the presence, polish and performance expected at the very top end of yachting.
“Working with Tim Heywood Design has been a natural fit for Falcon Tenders,” says Mark Pascoe of Falcon Tenders. “Tim’s ability to distil iconic superyacht styling into an 11-metre platform is exceptional, and this tender perfectly reflects our shared focus on elegance, comfort and uncompromising quality. It is a tender designed not just to perform, but to belong alongside the world’s most prestigious yachts.”
Optimised for seamless mothership integration
The tender accommodates up to 11 guests. Gyroscopic stabilisers are incorporated. With a beam of 3.0 metres and an overall height of just 1.97 metres, the collaborators say that the design allows for seamless stowage within yacht garages and efficient handling during onboard operations.
Practical boarding and flexible layout
Practicality was central to the design brief. Forward and aft boarding provide flexible access in a variety of marina and anchorage scenarios, while direct entry to the cabin enhances ease of use for both guests and crew. The cabin layout has been developed to accommodate the option of diesel-electric propulsion, future-proofing the platform while supporting quieter, more efficient operation in line with evolving owner expectations.
A builder shaped by experience
Pascoe started out manufacturing RIBs and hi-performance sports boats with a small, dedicated team of skilled craftsmen under Mark Pascoe Sport RIBs. In 2005, as general manager of Pascoe International, he oversaw the production of two custom tenders for S/Y Maltese Falcon and in 2021 Pascoe established Falcon Tenders. He calculates that he’s overseen the build of more than 200 superyacht tenders in his career.
