Exclusive: Introducing the new ‘four generation’ Mulder Fifty superyacht

Written by Sophie Spicknell for Superyacht Times

For the older generation, the addition of an elevator makes moving around the Mulder Fifty a breeze. All in line with the ‘four generation’ design philosophy.

The lower deck of the Mulder Fifty can also accommodate a crew of nine across five cabins, alongside a large laundry area and crew mess. Her single engineer's cabin situated on the aft of the yacht, close to the engine room, also provides direct access to the main aft deck. While a tenth captain's cabin is located on the main deck, close to the wheelhouse.

“With her specific ‘four generation’ design philosophy, the new Mulder Fifty pushes the boundaries of the 500 GT category. She will stand out as a combination of her unique design properties and the widely appreciated Mulder brand heritage,” concluded Frank Laupman.

Mulder Shipyard

Mulder Shipyard opened it second yard in Zoeterwoude-Rijndijk in 2013, to complement its other construction facility 10 kilometres away in Voorschoten. The new yard focuses on the maintenance, refitting and construction of yachts from 18 to 45 metres. The Voorschoten yard continues to build and maintain smaller yachts.

Mulder Shipyard was founded in 1938 by Dirk Mulder, and continues to be a successful member of the Dutch yacht-building family of builders. A Mulder family member still runs the operation, and this traditional family business owes its reputation to the classic Super Favorite Cruisers, the later Favorite Superieur and a wide range of custom and semi-custom luxury motoryachts.

Notable Launches

The Mulder line-up includes the Favorite dayboat series from 13 to 18 metres. Each Favorite features classic lines, spacious cabins, light saloon and large open cockpit. The Mulder Convertible line runs from the 54 Open to the 72, with wheelhouse-design comfort combined with the freedom of an open convertible. The Wheelhouse line includes models from 53 to 76, and is the builder’s most popular design. Finally, the Flybridge line runs from 73 to 98 and features a slim bow and sweeping hull lines for top performance in all weather.

Mulder Yachts Yachts for Sale

Mulder Shipyard is a traditional family business that has managed to become one of the prominent shipyards in the Dutch yacht building industry.

Known for their premium Dutch attribute, long-lasting quality and excellent performance, Mulder has over 75 years of proven accomplishments with many of their first builds still cruising the waters today.

The cornerstone of the yard’s reputation for quality has been built upon three main pillars: the classic Super Favorite Cruisers, the later Favorite Superior and a range of Mulder custom-built motor yachts.

The Mulder line consists of motor yachts between 42 feet/ 13 meters and 148 feet/ 45 meters, including the Mulder Favorite, Mulder Convertible, Mulder Wheelhouse, Mulder Flybridge and “Built by Mulder” yachts. In addition to new builds, Mulder Shipyard also offers a wide range of refit, maintenance and brokerage services.

Established by Dirk Mulder Sr. in 1938, Mulder remains a family owned shipyard with a Mulder still at the helm, three generations later. Dirk Mulder Sr. started at the yard’s current location in Voorschoten, initially building wooden canoes, rowboats and open wooden sailboats.

The 30-foot/9-meter round-bilged sailing yacht called DIMU – designed by Mulder himself – was built in massive mahogany with oak frames.

There are still several of these types of yachts, now classics, sailing today. At the end of the 1940’s, the yard built its first steel sailing yacht which started a gradual shift towards steel constructions in the late 1950’s.

From 1965, the yard focused entirely on building motor yachts and the Super Favorite Cruiser became a well-known brand in the Netherlands. Available in lengths of 27ft/ 8.30m, 30ft/ 9.20m and 33ft/ 10.20m, a new yacht was launched almost every month. Today the Super Favorite Cruisers are considered true classics, and their value has increased many times above their original sales price.

In 1984, the yard was taken over by 22-year old Dirk Robert Mulder with Mulder senior enjoying his retirement onboard his own Super Favorite Cruiser. In the late 1980’s, the yard delivered various yachts in lengths of 44ft/ 13.50m to 57ft/ 17.50m named the Favorite Superior.

The yard also worked with the A1 Design group to develop several modern yachts under the project name Futura. During these years, the yard built a new construction hall in the interest of increasing production.

A second large new facility followed in the early 1990s – enabling larger yachts to be built and the first of these was the Mulder 70 Flybridge. With a length of 67ft/ 20.60m and beam of 18ft/ 5.60m, it had a hard chine steel hull and aluminum superstructure. From this time on, all new models incorporated the name of the yard.

In 1998, Mulder Shipyard passed a new milestone with the launch of the Mulder 74 Flybridge, named ‘Best Yacht’ at the HISWA Amsterdam Boat Show in 1998.

Since then, Mulder has continued with the Mulder 68 Convertible designed by Guido de Groot, the new line of motor yachts in the early 2000’s, with the Mulder Convertible, Mulder Wheelhouse and Mulder Flybridge, and the Mulder 70 Wheelhouse (a true gentleman’s yacht built in 2003).

In 2010, the son of Dirk Robert Mulder, Nick Mulder, joined the yard to assist in the daily operations at Mulder Shipyard. Together in 2013, they opened a brand-new location in Zoeterwoude-Rijndijk, a facility focusing on maintenance, refitting and construction of yachts from 59ft / 18m to 148ft/ 45m.

In August 2015 Mulder delivered the 112ft/ 34m motor yacht SOLIS, the largest Mulder to date and the first Mulder to LY3 standards. With a gross tonnage of 315, the yacht is certified for unrestricted navigation and has transatlantic range. In May 2016, the m/y SOLIS was awarded with a Neptune at the prestigious World Superyacht Awards.

The year 2016 was record breaking for Mulder shipyard with seven yachts delivered during that summer period:

The Mulder 98 Flybridge “A2” together with her chase-tender, the 1,200hp strong Mulder Bellagio “Silver Rabbit”, was delivered to her Owner.

The Mulder Bellagio “Spectrum V” was fully customized with specifications such as a lengthened swimming platform, aft sliding door and a Seakeeper gyroscopic stabilization system. The yacht was delivered to the South of France where the Mulder team commissioned the yacht after organizing the transport.

The popularity of the Mulder Favorite Series is strongly presented in the yard’s order portfolio. With the delivery of the Favorite 1500’s “Summer” & “Christho” and the Mulder Favorite 1700’s “Annabelle” & “Erminea” in the Summer of 2016, multiple orders have been received during the Summer resulting in five more Favorite yachts under construction.

With six new builds under construction, including Mulder’s largest yacht till date: the Mulder ThirtySix, Mulder Shipyard is continuing her strong order portfolio and is looking forward to the year to come.

Favorite 2200

• Introduction

Marrying the classic Mulder Favorite lines with a modern twist, the 22.5-metre all-aluminium Mulder Favorite 2200 has been developed with unique specifications which work perfectly to offer exceptional owner-operated explorations in style and comfort.

The accommodation on board the Favorite 2200 can be found across three generous staterooms. Her airy, light-filled master cabin comes complete with a desk, ample storage space, and a spacious ensuite bathroom with cupboards and a walk-in shower. Two additional guest staterooms are located aft, both of which include a Pullman bed.

As for her styling, the shipyard likes to work closely with the vessel’s owners in order to achieve a look which is both contemporary and totally unique, matching the requirements and quirks of her owner. The Mulder Favorite 2200 is a true Dutch product, through and through, with naval architecture from Vripack Naval Architects and both interior and exterior design by Guido de Groot.

Primarily designed as a spacious yacht for all the family to enjoy, the main saloon comes complete with a large seating area and a cosy dining space with a round seat opposite the dashboard, allowing the whole family to try their hand at navigating. In addition, her generous onboard volumes allow for distinctive interior layouts on both the upper and lower decks.

Crafted by her Dutch shipyard with relaxation in mind, guests looking for a space to kick back and unwind are spoilt for choice. On the main deck, guests can enjoy spending time in a thoughtfully-laid out dining area complete with two large couches. A fully-stocked outdoor bar is located on the aft deck, and illuminated stairs lead up to the flybridge where another extensive dining area can be found. Below deck, another relaxation space can be found, complete with a couch, television and desk.

More practical matters are also well taken care of by the Favorite 2200, thanks to her exceptionally large laundry room and spacious U-shaped galley which comes equipped with all the latest appliances. Clever use of storage space is a consistent theme on board the Favorite 2200 and continues below the lower saloon, where a generous storage area of 20 square metres can be found, perfect for storing cool drinks, foods and other perishables.

Of course, it would be remiss not to make mention of the Favorite 2200’s flybridge. Its clever design is integrated in such a way that it disappears partially into the superstructure, meaning that the sleek lines of the profile remain intact. As an added bonus, it is possible to control the yacht from either the inside or from the flybridge. Both areas feature the most up-to-date equipment, comfortable seating and a couch portside so that your ‘co-captains’ can enjoy cruising alongside you.

A feeling of spaciousness can be found throughout the yacht, with all guest cabins boasting a ceiling height of two metres. Guests keen to stay connected with the outdoors can make use of the sunbathing area located on top of the master cabin on the foredeck for Instagrammable ocean views.

Naturally, however comfortable the yacht might be, there will be times when those on board are keen to explore further and get their pulses racing on the water. Here too, the Mulder Favorite 2200 does not disappoint. An easily-accessible tender garage is located in the stern of the yacht which houses a Williams tender, 395 Sportjet tender, a jet ski and four bicycles.

For ease of entering and leaving the water, the aft swim platform comes equipped with an automatic swimming ladder which can be electrically operated by means of a radio remote control or with a smartphone app.

As is typical for Mulder yachts, performance is at the top of the list. Her efficient, fast displacement round bilged hull shape is powered by Twin Volvo Penta D13-1000 engines. The Favorite 2200 quietly and comfortably reaches a top speed of 22.3 knots, with a cruising speed of 17 knots.

Alongside her excellent fuel economy and top-level sailing characteristics, those on board can also enjoy a genuinely comfortable cruising experience, thanks to the high quality noise insulation which can be found throughout the vessel.

Finally, as is becoming increasingly important for the owners of 2022, the Favorite 2200 also hits the spot for those looking to traverse further afield, and has an incredible range of 2,250 nautical miles at a speed of 10 knots.
