Falcon Tenders has unveiled an 11-metre custom superyacht tender created in collaboration with Tim Heywood Design, bringing together two names synonymous with quality in the superyacht world.
The project marks a meeting of Falcon Tenders’ expertise in precision-built, high-performance tenders with Tim Heywood’s unmistakable design signature, known for shaping some of the most iconic yachts on the water.
Classic Design Language
Tim Heywood brings his recognisable design language to the 11-metre tender, translating classic superyacht proportions, balance and surface detailing into a compact yet sophisticated runaround. The result is a tender that sits naturally alongside today’s largest yachts whilst retaining a confident identity of its own.
The tender features hallmark Heywood styling paired with a timeless, understated interior upholstered in navy leather with rich wood detailing.
Optimised Integration
With a beam of 3.0 metres and an overall height of 1.97 metres, the design has been carefully optimised for integration with larger motherships. The dimensions allow for seamless stowage within yacht garages and efficient handling during onboard operations.Practical Design Focus
Practicality was central to the design brief. Forward and aft boarding provide flexible access in a variety of marina and anchorage scenarios, whilst 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 whilst supporting quieter, more efficient operation in line with evolving owner expectations.
Enhanced Onboard Experience
Designed to deliver comfort as confidently as performance, the tender accommodates up to 11 guests, with generous seating arranged to encourage relaxed, social use from ship to shore.
Gyroscopic stabilisers are incorporated to elevate the onboard experience, reducing roll and ensuring a smooth, composed ride in a wide range of conditions.
Natural Collaboration
Mark Pascoe of Falcon Tenders commented on the project:Working with Tim Heywood Design has been a natural fit for 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.
About Mark Pascoe: Mark Pascoe established Falcon Tenders in 2021 after overseeing the production of more than 200 superyacht tenders during his time as Production Manager at Pascoe International. The seminal moment in his career came in 2005 when, as General Manager, he oversaw the production of two custom tenders for the legendary S/Y Maltese Falcon.
The 11-metre Tim Heywood Design tender represents a vessel conceived as an integral extension of the superyacht experience rather than simply an accessory.
