Falcon Tenders shortlisted as finalist for ‘Start-Up of the Year’ Award.
Maritime UK Awards celebrating the best of British
Falcon Tenders, a specialist builder of fully-custom superyacht tenders for the discerning yacht owner, has been named as one of the best in the UK’s £40 billion maritime sector after being shortlisted in the third Maritime UK Awards.
The Southampton-based boatbuilder, co-founded by Mark Pascoe, has been shortlisted for the Start-Up of the Year Award after impressing industry judges with its stylish high-quality limousine that bridges the gap between performance and ocean preservation.
Sarah Kenny, Chair of Maritime UK said: “We were absolutely blown away by the number and quality of submissions this year. Organisations and individuals across the breadth of the maritime sector are making significant progress toward our shared Maritime 2050 ambitions, and this is certainly an exciting time to be in the maritime sector.
“Maritime is a sector that is now being recognised as critical to the country’s prosperity, sustainability, resilience and future. I’d like to congratulate everyone that entered the awards, and in particular, our finalists, who the judges really feel are leading our sector forward.”
Falcon Tenders’ design intent was to develop a superyacht tender with new lines, exterior and interior finishes and textures using sustainably sourced materials. Seating capacity, ease of launching, crew operation, passenger boarding and stowing of hand luggage have been carefully considered whilst delivering beauty along with performance and the smoothest possible, quiet and dry ride.
Sustainability is at the core of the Falcon Tenders brand, manufacturing main structures and small component mouldings using plant-based epoxy resin derived from the latest innovations in bio-based chemistry, and using hybrid technology for quiet, smooth and emission-free propulsion.
Commenting on becoming a finalist, co-founder Mark Pascoe said: “Winning this award would mean a huge amount to us as a small new UK start-up that is privately funded. At the core of the business is true British heritage from the concept, design, manufacture, materials and the skilled team of British artisans we employ.”

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