About Falcon
The company was launched publicly in 2021 by Mark Pascoe and Dean Stoneman. Pascoe brought decades of tender and powerboat building, including his time at Pascoe International, where in 2005 he oversaw the two custom tenders for the sailing yacht Maltese Falcon, the project that gives the new company its name. Stoneman, a former Formula 2 champion and P1 powerboat champion, brought a racing driver's view of handling and performance.
Tenders are built in a purpose-designed composites facility of around 2,300 square meters in Hampshire, by a team of skilled British craftspeople. Falcon works readily with outside stylists, and has built to lines drawn by Tim Heywood, Designova, Thirty C and Michael Leach Design. Hybrid and electric propulsion, plant-based epoxy resins and weight-saving construction are recurring themes in its recent deliveries.
Tender types
- Limousine tenders
- Open limousine tenders
- Open guest launches
- SOLAS-compliant tenders
- Hybrid-electric tenders
Falcon does not publish a catalogue of stock models. Almost every hull is a commission, so the list below is better read as signature projects and platforms than as a price list.
Models and range
- Miss WonderlyA bespoke 10.6-meter hybrid limousine tender, and one of the clearest expressions of Falcon's interest in quieter, cleaner propulsion.
- SX10 OpenAn open limousine format that keeps the finish of an enclosed tender while leaving guests in the fresh air.
- SOLAS 660A 6.6-meter self-righting tender that the builder describes as the first non-RIB SOLAS-compliant tender in its class.
- ArmaniA bespoke 9-meter limousine commission, illustrating how closely Falcon will tailor interior and styling to an owner's taste.
- Project KD and T/T YasCustom limousine tenders created for specific superyachts, each matched to the mother yacht's design language.
Applications for superyachts
A Falcon tender starts from the garage, not the brochure. Length, beam, lifting weight, the position of lifting points and the reach of the crane or davit set the envelope, and the design is then refined so the tender can be launched and recovered by the crew in a real anchorage swell. Headroom, boarding from the swim platform and the way the roof folds or lowers for stowage are resolved early, because they are expensive to change once the mother yacht is complete.
Inside that envelope the brief becomes personal. An owner may want a closed limousine for evening arrivals in Monaco or Saint-Barthélemy, an open launch for beach days, and a SOLAS-rated craft that satisfies the flag and class requirements of a commercially registered yacht. Falcon's ability to match paint, joinery and hardware to the mother yacht is a large part of why its tenders are commissioned alongside new builds and major refits.
Why owners choose Falcon
Owners come to Falcon for true bespoke work rather than a configured platform, for a leadership team with long experience in both superyacht tenders and high-performance powerboats, and for a British yard that manages composites, fit-out and engineering under one roof. Its early adoption of hybrid propulsion and lower-impact materials suits owners who expect their tender to reflect the same standards as the yacht itself.
Available tenders
Tenders are usually specified to order, and pre-owned examples tend to change hands quietly, often together with their mother yacht. Daniel does not hold tender inventory; on request he can approach Falcon or its representatives, and search the pre-owned market, for a tender that suits your yacht.
Work with Daniel Grant
Daniel can introduce owners and captains to Falcon Tenders and help shape the brief before the first design meeting: garage dimensions, crane capacity, guest numbers, flag requirements and how the tender will actually be used. When time matters, he can also look for suitable pre-owned custom tenders and advise on whether one can be adapted. He does not act as a dealer for Falcon; his role is to represent the owner and keep the tender decision aligned with the wider yacht, whether that is a yacht purchase or a new build. The yacht tenders directory sets Falcon alongside other specialist builders.
A tender is often one part of a larger decision. Daniel can also help you find the right yacht, guide a new build from brief to delivery, or compare the yacht builders behind the mother yacht. To talk it through, contact Daniel directly.
