Falcon Rydell

Yacht management company Falcon Rydell has been granted the contract to manage the 39-metre motoryacht Pretty Woman, currently under construction at Hakvoort Shipyard in the Netherlands. The company will be responsible for operations, maintenance, finance, crew and safety, with the yacht flying the Dutch flag and available for the 2010 Mediterranean charter season.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129347/image/large-fc7bcdf0d7fc38082b2e00685b7442ba.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/129347"> “Upgrading from a 26-metre yacht to a superyacht close to 40 metres, the owner of Pretty Woman recognises that his new acquisition will require an altogether different approach to organisation and management,” says Arne Feenstra, who is in charge of this project at Falcon Rydell. “Our wide range of yacht management and support services will ensure that everything is run to the highest standard of professionalism.”Another key reason for working with Falcon Rydell is the company's Dutch-government-approved VAT programme. Called CCV, the tax structure is fully approved under Dutch law for a period of two years in advance.“Pretty Woman’s owner is especially interested in having a safe, secure and transparent VAT scheme,” adds Feenstra. “He is a real gentleman who desires that everything is carried out to perfection, without cutting corners in any way.”A luxury ocean-going motoryacht with a steel hull and aluminium alloy superstructure, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1136" data-legacy="true" href="#managed-by-application">Pretty Woman’</a>s modern nautical-style interior will provide accommodation for up to 10 guests and an impressive array of social areas. A highly flexible layout makes the yacht ideal for chartering. All guest cabins have single beds that can be combined into doubles, while the two aft cabins can be merged into a single VIP stateroom.

Falcon Rydell to manage Pretty Woman

Yacht management company Falcon Rydell has announced that it has been awarded the contract to manage a new 62-metre motoryacht due for launch in the summer of 2009. The Icon 62 will be the first superyacht to be completed by a new luxury yachtbuilder, Icon Yachts in the Netherlands. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/127192/image/large-f3a2a1824b2f392f77414231c26d225c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/127192">Established in the 1990s, Falcon Rydell provides a wide range of yacht management and support services to both existing yachts and projects under construction. The owners of the Icon 62 have asked the company to take an integrated approach that combines the five pillars of yacht management: Operations, maintenance, finance, crew and safety. Falcon Rydell has already started working with the captain and first officer on selecting and certifying the crew for this highly prestigious project. And the yacht management specialists are also busy organising flag state documentation. After launching, the Icon 62 will cruise in both the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, and will be available for charter. “Running a yacht over 500 GT involves many complex issues,” adds Duncan Schaaf, manager at Falcon Rydell. “From maintaining the vessel to organising ISM and ISPS, there is so much involved. With our wealth of experience and global network of contacts, Falcon Rydell ensures that owners can relax and enjoy their onboard life.” Falcon Rydell +31 35 582 9045 <a href="mailto:info@falconrydell.com?subject=Falcon%20Rydell%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@falconrydell.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.falconrydell.com">www.falconrydell.com</a>
