complement, using high-gloss paint of black, blue, and signal white. Every one of these materials, from the paint through to the foam, is also sourced from Britain, underpinning the truly British nature of this award-winning brand. “Falcon Tenders can satisfy the wildest dreams of any existing, new, or future yacht owner. With a team of highly experienced builders, we work closely with designers and stylists to ensure the most boundarypushing ideas remain practical and can actually be manufactured to the highest quality – on time and within budget.” This consistency can be attributed to the textbook internal culture that has been carefully nurtured within Falcon Tenders, which was not hard to achieve given the immense experience of its members in this setting. Just like many manufacturing companies, particularly those serving niche, high-end markers, the culture at Falcon Tenders is based around the cornerstones of quality, craftsmanship, and innovation – with all of its staff aligning with the company’s overarching aim of delivering best-in-class yacht tenders. Exploring some of the ways that the business approaches the fostering of this cohesive internal culture, Mark mentions attention to detail, pride in their work, clear brand messaging, visual inspiration, emphasis on research and development, encouraging creativity, consistency across values, and handson leadership as all being pivotal in the company cementing its legacy. It also helps having a strategic approach when it comes to attracting, hiring, and maintaining top talent, another key focus area for leaders Mark and Dean. Following on from this strong culture and thorough employee initiatives, Mark beams as he shares with us that the team are currently working on five fully bespoke yacht tenders at their Southampton factory, with each being entirely unique in its own way and reflective of Falcon Tenders’ innovative tender designs. These projects are just the tip of the iceberg however, as the company has some exciting projects in the pipeline which are soon to be realised, including its innovative, SOLAS-compliant tender – the SOLAS 660. A self-righting tender, the SOLAS 600 is the first design of its kind in this sphere and was announced alongside the Damen SX6001 Explorer Yacht at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show earlier this year. Powered by sustainable and renewable fuel, this unique tender has an internal volume like no other, as well as guest accommodation that can be used as a high-end shuttle and for water sports. Remarkably, it also doubles as a baggage, rubbish, and provisioning space – without faltering for a second when it comes to style and luxury. Yet another exciting concept being worked on by the company is the Falcon Shuttle, carried out in partnership with GreenJoy Studio, which is a further example of the constant innovation of this team in the realm of luxury yacht tenders. This is joined by a fully custom 10m limousine tender which is currently being built for a high-profile yacht based in the UAE. Elaborating on this limousine tender, Mark explains: “Featuring all new lines and styling, complex compound curved glass, and a luxurious interior that complements the yacht’s interior features and details, delivery is scheduled for 2025.” As all of these projects clearly demonstrate, Falcon Tenders Ltd is a company thriving at the forefront of innovative tender designs, delivering the best luxury tenders for yachts across the UK and beyond. Recognised with this duo of awards, Falcon Tenders’ innovative nature not only manifests itself in its setting a new standard of luxury, but also for its electric, hybrid, and ecofriendly yacht tender options. Thus, whether for the first time or the hundredth, all are invited to step aboard a Falcon tender and take flight.
