It will soon become easier for billionaire yacht owners to travel the world with their prized automobiles on yachting expeditions. Called the Falcon Shuttle, this bespoke catamaran tender has been specifically designed to store and transport exotic cars across oceans. The first-of-its-kind tender is the work of a start-up named GreenJoy Studio, founded in 2023 by Philip Greenberg and Ivan Joy. According to the studio, it will be exclusively built by Falcon Tenders, a UK-based company specializing in fully custom yacht tenders. Still in the concept phase, the unique tender will be fully revealed at the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show, which will be held at the iconic Port Hercules from the 25th to the 28th of September.
The studio’s founders claim the idea of the bespoke catamaran was spawned to “disrupt a segment that is central to the experience of the most demanding clients in yachting.” They believe the Falcon Shuttle will be an instant success thanks to its unique combination of beautiful aesthetics and unprecedented functionality that “promises to change the way owners get where they’re going and what they bring with them, especially those who collect fine automobiles.” The studio has yet to reveal most details, including the dimensions and the propulsion system. However, what we know so far is that each catamaran tender will be entirely bespoke, built to match the owner’s choice of car.
The design renders previewed by GreenJoy Studio show a double-hull vessel with a sleek design that appears to be inspired by the automotive world. Interestingly, the studio chose to feature a Rolls-Royce Boat Tail for the renders, which makes perfect sense for its strong connection with sailing. The vessel’s exterior design mimics the aesthetics of the luxury limo, which suggests the level of customization that will be on offer is going to be unprecedented. We’d love to see a luxury watercraft designed to look like the new Bugatti Tourbillon. It’ll be simply jaw-dropping. More information on the Falcon Shuttle will be revealed next week when the concept officially debuts at the Monaco Yacht Show.
