alcon Tenders specialises in building fullycustom yacht tenders, drawing on Pascoe’s 20 plus years of industry experience producing bespoke tenders for some of the most iconic superyachts ever launched. The dedicated Hampshire facilities comprise a 2,300m2 purpose-built manufacturing and office complex, and will create new opportunities for a highlyskilled workforce of up to 25 people.
Family-style operation Commenting on the new endeavour, Mr Pascoe, who is a renowned figure in the performance leisure craft and offshore powerboat markets, says, “I am passionate about building tenders. I believe there is room in this exciting sector to be able to design and produce something quite special to integrate with any superyacht. I have hand-picked an impressive line-up of highly dedicated and skilled craftsmen, many of whom I have known and worked with for a number of years. I think we have a uniqueness and can offer all the benefits of dealing with a large production operation, but with the individuality, passion, and skill that can only exist in a smaller, family-style operation. This allows a higher quality of workmanship, level of customer
service, and bespoke design. Our aim is to produce the finest, best equipped, most innovative, and reliable tenders on the market.” Mr Pascoe is joined by international racing driver Dean Stoneman who will partner him in managing Falcon Tenders. Former F2 Champion and F1 test driver Mr Stoneman is no stranger to the water, having been crowned P1 Powerboat Champion in 2012. Over the past decade he has built a number of powerboats and fully understands the marine yacht tender business.
Next level Following extensive R&D, the Falcon Tenders team is now working on its first model, an allnew limousine tender. Mr Stoneman is excited about what’s to come, “We are really looking to take our first tender to the next level in terms of design, materials, and propulsion. We are working with some superb partners and are confident that what will emerge later in the year will impress the market.”
