Mulder Favorite

One of the leading exponents of premium Dutch yachtbuilding, Mulder Shipyard was established in 1938 by Dirk Mulder senior. With a member of the Mulder family still at the helm today, the yard can attribute its excellent reputation not only to the superb custom-built yachts it has launched but also to the classic Super Favorite and Favorite Superior cruisers. Many of these motoryachts still grace Dutch and international waters today.

Mulder Shipyard was established seventy years ago this year and to mark this auspicious occasion the yard has decided to breath new life into the Mulder Favorite. Originally introduced in the 1950s, an all-new aluminium version will be launched in 2010 and be produced in a limited edition. The 21st-century Mulder Favorite will be available in three types - 1400, 1500 and 1600 – and built to stunning new designs developed in close cooperation with Guido de Groot and Vripack Naval Architects. Distinguishing features include smooth retro lines and a steep bow.

The yachts will be available with either a round-bilged or a hard chine hull and fitted with two engines. There is a wide array of engines to choose from, ranging from 2x 150 hp to 2x 435 hp, IPS Volco engines. Its round-bilged shape makes the yacht ideal for comfortable cruising from 10 to 25 knots.

Today we have started with to build a Mulder Favorite 1400 and a Mulder Favorite 1500.
