There are two Superyacht tenders everyone wants in 2022 – The Windy boats SR52 and SR60

The SR52

The Windy Boats SR52 Blackbird chase boat took the Cannes Yachting Festival by storm when she was unveiled in 2008 and provided the first opportunity for Windy to partner with designers and naval architects external to the company.

The SR52 opened up a new world for Windy, introducing the brand to the superyacht sector as the builder of the world’s finest chase boat and was rated best chase boat in the world by Superyacht Magazine at the time. Combining the exceptional design of Dubois with the superb build quality, production capability, and performance of the Windy brand, the SR52 Blackbird delivers guests ashore in unprecedented style, speed, and comfort. A very unique and adaptable craft. The SR52 became the chase tender for yacht owners looking for something a bit more special and has achieved unparalleled success since then.

Hull #131 is currently under construction and available for a summer 2022 delivery. The sale is being handled by Superyacht Tenders who have worked closely with Windy since 2008 and are considered the go-to company for the supply of the Windy SR range of tenders to large yachts worldwide.

 

SR/SLR60

The spectacular new Windy SLR/SR 60 has been designed to build upon the success of the SR52 and become the ultimate superyacht accessory, considered by many to be the most exclusive chase tender available on the market today.

Combining cutting-edge design, exclusive styling, and supreme seakeeping the new SLR60 is the most exciting and eagerly
anticipated projects, both undertaken by the Special Projects Division at Windy, Scandinavia. Powered by triple Volvo Penta IPS propulsion systems. Providing breathtaking performance, exacting handling, and a truly impressive range of 850 NM at 25 knots and onto a maximum speed of 45 knots.

The first SLR60 #001 has now been successfully launched. This boat was commissioned by a very experienced superyacht owner
who required an exclusive chase tender of the very highest quality and design that would allow him to traverse unprotected and open passages as well as offer high levels of guest comfort, exceptional range, and sea keeping without losing the practicalities of it being a full-time support/chase tender for the 60m mothership.

#002 is currently in build and nearing completion, delivery will be in May 2022.

Hull number #003 SR60 ( extended cabin version ) is available to order now and can be made ready for a Summer 2022 delivery. This model has a fully bespoke complete package. The sale is being handled by Superyacht Tenders who are considered the market leaders in the supply of the SR range of tenders to large yachts.

Falcon Tenders reveal high profile limousine tender. Falcon has produced a series of collaborations with some of the most well-known names in superyacht design. They bring innovation, sustainability, and style to the forefront. 

About Falcon Tenders and Co-Founder Mark Pascoe

Falcon Tenders specialise in building superyacht tenders for the most discerning yacht owners. The Southampton-based boatbuilder draws on co-founder Mark Pascoe’s 20+ years of industry experience. They produce bespoke tenders for some of the most iconic superyachts ever launched.

Now, at the dawn of a new era in customisable yacht tenders, Pascoe and his skilled team of experienced craftsmen reveal a raft of collaborations with some of the biggest names in superyacht design, to bring innovation, sustainability and beauty to the forefront.

Mark Pascoe started manufacturing RIBS and hi-performance sports boats with a dedicated team of craftsmen working under him. The company enjoyed a large-scale expansion with its range of 7-10m Sport RIBS.

Mark’s turning point was when he oversaw the production of two custom tenders for the legendary S/Y MALTESE FALCON. Mark then returned to Pascoe International as Production Manager, where he oversaw over 200 superyacht tenders built.

In 2021 Pascoe began a new chapter in his career and established Falcon Tenders, which looks to build the very best superyacht tenders on the market.

Since its debut, the label has worked with worldwide stylists, including Tim Heywood, the multi-award-winning designer, visionary creatives Uros Pavasovic and David Weiss of Designova, and naval architect Patrick Banfield. 

Falcon Tenders First Limousine 

Falcon Tenders’ first limousine model is penned by British studio Michael Leach Design. It measures 10.5 metres and is the ideal accompaniment to superyachts of all sizes.

Falcon Tenders limousine is pitched at the upper end of the tender market. It has the perfect design for guests wishing to go comfortably from the yacht to shore best suited to yachts of 100+ metres that anchor further out at sea.

 

Falcon adorned the exterior decks with reclaimed teak, complemented by premium Scottish leather upholstery for a refined interior finish. A matching open tender is also currently in the pipeline.

 

A Statement from Mark Smith from Leach Design

“Some owners want absolute luxury with Bentley-inspired interiors and others are all about speed,” -Mark Smith

Mark Smith is the director at Michael Leach Design, best known for designing 96m M/Y PALLADIUM, 93m M/Y LADY S and 110m Feadship M/Y ANNA, one of the largest yachts on the charter market.

Whether large or small the parameters of boat design remain the same they are comfort, beauty and performance. Having worked on 100+ meter yachts, Smith understands the functionality and diversity required for their matching tenders.

Interestingly, the Falcon Tenders limousine and open tender are the first boats that they have worked on without the confines of an owner’s brief.

Smith has known Mark Pascoe since the 1980s, with the boatbuilding expertise that he and his team bring to the table, MLD has said they are very excited to be partnering with Falcon Tenders on their debut models.

A Statement from Mark Pascoe

Falcon Tenders’ fully-custom yacht tenders are hand-built to order in limited numbers. Speaking on the Falcon Tenders setup, Mark Pascoe commented:

“We have a small, dedicated team at Falcon Tenders, rather than a large factory that is mass-producing. One of our biggest assets is the fact we have people with real passion, all of whom have worked in the tender business for 10 years or more. We have the skill set and appetite to do something pretty special, and partnering with the likes of Michael Leach Design, Tim Heywood and all the other designers who have collaborations.”

 

Falcon Tenders’ limousine model and matching open tender design will make their international debut at the 2021 Monaco Yacht Show.

Working with owners, captains, designers and shipyards, Falcon Tenders has the resources and industry know-how to fine-tune designs to meet specific owner requirements. They welcome all opportunities to bring any tender project to life.
