Transporting your valued vehicle across oceans is about to become even simpler.
GreenJoy Studio, co-founded by Philip Greenberg and Ivan Joy in 2023, has just introduced a custom catamaran specifically designed for carrying luxury cars across the sea. Named the Falcon Shuttle, it will make its full concept debut at the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show and will be constructed by Falcon Tenders in Southampton, U.K. This British shipyard is known for crafting customized limousines and tenders, suggesting the shuttle will be of the highest quality.
Greenberg and Joy aim to innovate the tender market with a unique concept catering to elite clients in the yachting sector. This design merges features of a support vessel, a floating garage, and a tender, providing owners with a fresh and thrilling method to transport and store their luxury cars. Each unit is designed to be completely bespoke, allowing clients to create the ideal environment for their automotive treasures.
It’s common for catamarans to act as support vessels for larger superyachts. Multihulls typically offer greater stability than monohulls, as their dual hulls create a broad and solid foundation. They also provide ample living space. For instance, Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates was reported to have a 224-foot support catamaran. GreenJoy has not disclosed details regarding the Falcon Shuttle’s dimensions, but the ability to comfortably fit a vehicle suggests it is likely over 20 feet long, which, although smaller than Gates’ vessel, still has sufficient room for your prized possession.
The shipyard has also remained tight-lipped about the shuttle’s propulsion system. Falcon offers tenders equipped with hybrid diesel-electric engines, so prospective buyers might consider an eco-friendly shuttle that consumes less fuel when compared to traditional gas-powered models.
The Falcon Shuttle will be showcased at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show, scheduled to occur at the iconic Port Hercules from September 25 to 28. This event will also feature numerous exciting brand-new superyachts, as noted by Robb Report, so be sure to make your way to France.
