Falcon Tenders unveils 11m custom Tim Heywood design concept

Falcon Tenders has unveiled a new 11-metre custom superyacht tender created in collaboration with Tim Heywood Design. The concept brings together two established names in yacht design and tender construction, combining Falcon Tenders’ engineering expertise with one of the most recognisable design signatures in the superyacht sector.

Tim Heywood, known for shaping some of the most distinctive yachts on the water, has translated his familiar design language into a compact runaround format. The result is a tender intended to sit naturally alongside larger yachts while maintaining a clear identity of its own.

The 11-metre tender features Heywood’s characteristic styling, paired with a restrained interior finished in navy leather upholstery and rich wood detailing. The boat has a beam of 3.0 metres and an overall height of 1.97 metres. These proportions have been carefully considered to allow integration with larger yachts, including storage within yacht garages and straightforward handling during onboard operations.

Practicality formed a central part of the design brief. Forward and aft boarding arrangements allow flexible access when operating in marinas or at anchor. Direct entry into the cabin has also been included to simplify use for both guests and crew.

The cabin layout has been developed with the option of diesel-electric propulsion. This allows the platform to adapt to changing owner expectations while enabling quieter and more efficient operation.

The tender is designed to accommodate up to 11 guests. Seating has been arranged to encourage relaxed social use when transferring between yacht and shore. Gyroscopic stabilisers are also incorporated to reduce roll and help maintain a composed ride in varying sea conditions.
