“We receive a lot of requests from owners who have yachts between 160 and 270 feet who want to downsize without compromising on quality or comfort,” Nick Mulder , Mulder’s managing director, told Robb Report during a tour of the yacht at the Monaco Yacht Show. “The ThirtySix [series] is popular as it’s large yet easily manageable.”

The exterior was designed by British studio Claydon Reeves with an interior by John Vickers and naval architecture by Van Oossanen . Seaflower is the sixth unit in the ThirtySix series, but the first hull to be built to IMO Tier-III requirements.

“We’re not the biggest shipyard, but we produce one yacht every eight months, and it has our full attention,” says Mulder. “Clients can personalize the materials and layout and still only have to wait a year before taking delivery.”

One of the largest custom requests made by Seaflower ’s owners was the inclusion of a light-oak interior. When they stepped into the build last September, much of the interior was already constructed in walnut. “That was quite a challenge, but it didn’t feel right to compromise on their wishes, so we redid everything across the main and lower decks,” says Mulder.

Four more cabins—two VIPs and two twins that convert to doubles—are located on the lower deck, each with oversized windows and the option to add a Pullman berth, allowing Seaflower to sleep 10 guests.

The main salon leads into a formal dining area set against a backdrop of bamboo backlit artwork, inspired by works the owners viewed aboard the Lurssen superyacht , formerly known as Ahpo . (That 377-foot vessel was renamed Lady Jorgia in what is considered the largest superyacht brokerage sale in yachting history.) Sliding doors open onto a fold-down balcony allowing alfresco dining to drift outside.

The galley features custom-made fridges with adjustable temperatures and a restaurant-caliber steam oven. The wheelhouse, which accommodated 20 people during sea trials in July, includes plenty of seating for guests. It’s enhanced by a second exterior steering position, portside for maneuvering into slips or around other vessels.

The owners left out the sundeck Jacuzzi. “The flybridge is a large open-plan space where they wanted to simply relax, so we dressed it with outdoor furniture from Neil Jones and prioritized comfort,” says designer Vickers.

The yacht’s layout has an interior volume comparable to a 148-footer, according to the shipyard, with a crew of six. It’s twinned with a shallow draft for cruising in shallow waters.

The owners have carried the name Seaflower across many of their previous yachts, yet the Mulder ThirtySix may be their most comfortable sub-300 GT cruiser yet.

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: an 80-year-old family affair on a roll

ZOETERWOUDE-RIJNDIJK – It took 3 Mulder generations 80 years to make their shipyard a premier market force. Crowning that achievement, recent years have seen Mulder Shipyard on a roll. In 2016, it won a World Superyacht Award for its 34m (111.5 ft.) full-custom Solis, the yard’s 100th yacht. It won again this year, for its 36m (118ft.) Delta One, a Mulder-ThirtySix.

Commercial Director Nick Mulder tells Dutch Yacht Building the yard’s 2nd Mulder-Thirty-Six _ his yard’s 110th yacht _ will be ready for delivery in early 2019.  “But I cannot tell you anything about timing for a 3rd Mulder-ThirtySix at this moment.”

Solis and the Mulder-ThirtySix projects have brought Mulder Shipyard together with the Claydon Reeves design studio and Van Oossanen Naval Architects. The latter gave the Mulder-ThirtySix their Fast Displacement Hull Form that generates significant fuel savings:  only 73 liters (less than 10 gallons) of fuel per hour at 10 knots.

The 2018 superyacht awards jury added, “Delta One’s masculine profile conceals a spectacular beach club in the stern … and a traverse garage large enough for a 6.25m (20.5 ft.) Williams tender. Mulder-ThirtySix yachts are aluminum hulled with interiors that can be customized.”

In 2013, Mulder Shipyard expanded, adding halls _ in Zoeterwoude-Rijndijk, a 15-minute drive from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport _ where it can build, maintain and refit yachts from 15 to 45m. (49 to 148 ft.) The nearby old yard has has remained a place for work on smaller yachts and storage.

“The expansion was a significant, but successful investment. As a traditional family business, we prefer to be slightly conservative,” says Mulder. “We are currently focusing on increasing and optimizing the team before planning on building new shipyards again,” he says, adding, with a wink, “We do have dreams, though.”

Mulder Shipyard has a rock-solid reputation as a maker of high-quality, comfortable motor yachts starting at 15m. (50 ft.). The yard remains true to that category.

“It’s important not to forget how to profitably build 50ft. yachts,” says Mulder. “If a yard has only 1 or 2 large yachts in build, it’s difficult to keep high productivity levels in all disciplines. We have, on average, 10 yachts in build. At different stages of completion, from drawing board to commissioning. That requires an agile organization to keep unproductive hours as low as possible. Constructing top-quality yachts for competitive prices means being innovative and to continuously improve efficiency of internal processes.”

The 34m Solis tested Mulder Shipyard’s mettle. The owners wanted the yacht to be built in only 20 months, i.e. be ready in mid-2015. Mulder needed only 20 months.

Clipper sailors hail ‘warm welcome’ in Oban after Atlantic crossing

S ailors competing in this year’s Clipper Round the World yacht race have praised the “warm welcome” they received when the event came to Scotland for the first time in its 27-year history.

The penultimate seventh leg of this year’s race, which started in Portsmouth last September, saw the boats racing 3,500 miles from Washington DC in the USA to Oban in Argyll and Bute.

For skipper Ineke Van Der Weijden, whose boat Perseverance won the leg in a time of 15 days and seven hours, crossing the finishing line late on Friday was a “magical” experience.

“For the last two hours, we were already sailing inside the islands. As we got there the sky lifted almost, because it was very foggy beforehand, and the sun started shining through and it was seven, eight o’clock in the evening.

“It was peaceful. It was beautiful. Then slowly, some small boats started coming out to see us in, which is absolutely wonderful. We all loved it. We just enjoyed it.

“We have a former crew member that has a seaplane so he came out to fly over us. It was absolutely one of the best runs I’ve ever had. Magical is exactly what it was.”

It was not the first visit to Oban for the professional sailor, who used to work as an international consultant before her first Clipper race in 2017-18 inspired her to change career.

“I have been to Oban before, I’ve done sailing out here before. I love it. Scotland is some of my most favourite sailing,” she explained.

“It’s beautiful. First of all, have you seen the landscape? But what I really like is it isn’t as overrun and overdeveloped as a sailing community. I like that it’s really sailors that want to be sailing.”

Paddy Moran from Galway, sailing on the Ha Long Bay Vietnam, said the approach to Oban was “spectacular”.

He added: “Even though we came in in the middle of the night, it was one of the most spectacular approaches that we had.

“We’ve had some pretty spectacular approaches to cities like Cape Town, Seattle, Washington up the Chesapeake Bay, but coming into Oban through the islands and up the channels was absolutely gorgeous, even at night.

“The warm welcome was as good as any we’ve got anywhere around the world. It was obvious that everybody was happy to see us, loads of people stayed up till two and three in the morning to welcome us in, so that was lovely.”

Sailing in specially designed 70ft racing yachts, the 11 crew are competing over an eight-leg course that sees them circumnavigate the world across six oceans and travel some 40,000 nautical miles.

The Clipper 70s, which can reach speeds of around 35 knots, are built for stability as well as speed, with Ms Van Der Weijden explaining that “when you’re out at sea in heavy weather you’ll feel that the boat is not the problem, the boat will do fine”.

Each crew, which can be up to 22-strong, do four to six-hour shifts on deck, which slopes steeply when under sail.

Below deck the sailors take turns to cook in a cramped kitchen using a gimbal-mounted oven, and they sleep using a “hot bunk” system, which sees them take it in turns with another crew member to use the compact beds.

It is difficult to miss the fact the race has come to Oban, where the fleet will remain until the final leg begins on Sunday.

The town’s curving harbour is lined with race-branded banners and bunting, and the colourful yachts are moored at pontoons next to the fanzone on the North Pier.

Oban is hosting a number of tie-in events, with the fleet’s arrival coinciding with the town’s Festival of the Sea.

Mr Moran said Oban is “buzzing right now” with the presence of the crews plus their families, friends and supporters.

He added of the race’s impact on the town: “I think it’s just put it on the map. I think that for myself it’s made a point of saying, you know, the west coast of Scotland is absolutely beautiful.

“I think it’s put it on a lot of people’s radar.”

Argyll and Bute Council leader Jim Lynch said: “It has been a great honour for Oban to host this fantastic sporting event.

“Our communities and businesses have given international Clipper race crews such a warm welcome.

“Tourism is a key industry for Argyll and Bute and the race has provided a welcome boost to the local economy, with many businesses reporting increased footfall.

“We thank everyone involved for showcasing the best Argyll and the isles has to offer, including marine tourism opportunities, wonderful local produce and a rich Gaelic culture.

“We wish all the Clipper race adventurers the best of luck with their grand finale.”

David Adams McGilp, VisitScotland regional director, said: “While it is too early to understand the full impact, the event has undoubtedly helped attract more visitors to the town and wider region, as well as raising the profile of the marine tourism offering in Argyll & Isles.”

The end of the race in Portsmouth on July 27 is a bittersweet prospect for many sailors, some of whom will have been away from home for nearly a year.

Jade Golder, a 24-year-old student from Surrey who took two years out of university to take part in the race, said: “I’m trying not to think about it. It hasn’t really hit me yet that we’re almost here.

“You start counting your last. So I’ve done my last galley [cooking shift], and this is our last stopover and things like that, but it doesn’t really hit home that it’s almost over.”

On board the second Mulder ThirtySix superyacht Calypso

The father and son boatbuilders at Mulder created Calypso for themselves. Their problem was that they did it a bit too well, says Sam Fortescue.

Nick Mulder can’t keep his eyes off her. As we round the windmill-crowned headland into the bay off Portals, Mallorca, his attention is fully occupied by the elegant yacht in front of us. Further conversation is useless, at least for a moment or two. The Williams Jet Tender slows to a purr as we circle round to the stern of Calypso , the 36 metre at anchor in the swell.

And really, it’s no wonder. Nick is the youthful element of the father-and-son team driving Mulder Shipyard , which built the yacht. And today is the first time he’s seen her at anchor in her natural environment in the Med. It is a more passionate project than you might expect. Not just because the Mulder ThirtySix (of which this is hull No 2) represents a quantum leap in terms of size and complexity for what is still a small, family-owned shipyard. But also because Nick and his father, Dirk, began building this yacht for themselves. And when you build for yourself, you engage with the project on a whole different level.

“We started to build this boat on spec, with a plan to charter her until she found a buyer,” Nick tells me. “Our feeling, when we started the project in 2015, was that we wanted to do something a bit different.” That spirit of a personal project was also picked up by the interior design team. John Vickers was given a largely blank canvas on which to create his vision for a relaxed, welcoming interior.

“I’ve wanted to design this for at least 10 years,” he says with a very broad grin as he shows me the saloon, with its easy seating, bar and dining table. “I wanted that vibe like walking into a bar in the West Indies – super chilled, with flickering candlelight. Of course, we had to upgrade it to feel luxury and intentional – we added bianca marble trim and agate door handles, for instance. But these are purposefully left slightly rough.”

To give the design some soul, Vickers delved back into Mulder’s rich history to find inspiration from a 6.7-metre long-keeled sloop that had belonged to Dirk Senior, who founded the yard in 1938. With an eye for historical symmetry, he obtained the lines plan, which he reproduced as a piece of three-dimensional art on the forward wall of the saloon. Wall lamps are cleverly integrated into the lines of the interior. Made of long shavings of real wood woven into a stainless-steel frame, they have an organic feel that is repeated throughout the yacht, with rich leather, marble, canvas and deep-grained white-brushed oak.

The bar is another masterpiece of shipwrightery designed to evoke the yard’s origins. It is a perfect chord of cold-moulded wooden strips, arranged in a lattice to resemble low-tech beach-hut building materials. Nothing could be further from the truth. Mulder’s master joiners laboured for hundreds of hours to achieve this effect, painstakingly overlaying wood with an oak veneer. So meticulous were they that they even laminated end-grain veneer on to the curved posts supporting the bar and the feet. “I didn’t think they’d do it,” says Vickers with a triumphant gleam in his eyes. “Most yards wouldn’t have.” Behind the bar in question, Nick Mulder smiles and rolls his eyes in mock consternation. “We talked about it,” is all he’ll say.

One of the few things Vickers didn’t get his way with is the candle-effect bulbs. But the lighting system still offers three preset moods: full, evening and soft. The polished stainless-steel buttons are large and labelled clearly for intuitive use; iPads in each room also control the lighting, air conditioning and blinds.

Vickers is obsessive about such detail. “Am I overthinking this?” is a common refrain during my tour. For instance, the carpet in the saloon is faux silk (for reasons of practicality, not cost). The deep pile has been carved into random curves, like the contour lines left in the sand as the tide goes out. “It’s based on a photo of a beach,” says Vickers, following my gaze. “Hand shaven.”

In all the cabins, he has slung deep brown leather magazine racks against the walls. Not only are they architectural features in their own right, and very practical for storage, they also fill the recesses created when the beds in the guest cabins are slid together or moved apart. He has also created a clever optical illusion by placing mirrors behind the louvres on the technical cabinets in the saloon. They continue the blue of the horizon in a perfect line, giving you the impression that you’re looking out over the bulwarks.

Being a semi-custom yacht produced by a small, flexible shipyard, the Mulder ThirtySix can be configured any number of ways. Hull No 1, an ultra-private yacht launched in 2017, had five cabins, but  Calypso  runs to just four. Both can accommodate up to 10 guests ( Calypso  with Pullmans in the guest cabins) but Mulder wanted a big VIP cabin for chartering. “We looked at the market and found that many charters are by two families,” explains Nick. “It made sense to offer a really good VIP cabin to avoid jealousy.” So successful have they been here, with the brightness of the full beam and huge windows, dressing room, desk and sofa space all contributing to a sense of relaxed luxury, that this cabin rivals the master. And the market seems to agree, as the yacht is already fully chartered for the year.

If the interior of this yacht is a relaxed beach club, the exterior of the Mulder ThirtySix is more restrained.  Claydon Reeves  has drawn an elegant, clean, raised pilothouse yacht with a smart straight bow, low bulwarks and lots of glass. “We wanted to give it some modernity, but equally not go too far with the design,” explains Mike Reeves. “It couldn’t be too polarising; it had to be a handsome vessel – Dutch style, true to its looks.”

Despite her eight-metre beam and nearly 300GT volume, she looks long and slim. Two of the yacht’s key features presented a particular challenge in this respect: the larger-than-average 15-square-metre beach club at the stern, and the elongated 75-square-metre sundeck, with its spa pool and long sunpads.

“On the exterior, the trick was to create a sense of length on a boat that is quite tall and relatively beamy,” says Reeves. One solution was to paint the hull two colours. “It has the effect of lowering the apparent height of the hull.” Another was to encase the boat’s four lifeboats in Hammar release lockers so that they didn’t interrupt the lines on the sundeck. This theme of storage recurs throughout. “Smaller boats are very challenging,” says Reeves. “People are very demanding at this sector of the market. You have to work hard to create space and volume, so it’s a fantastic exercise in packaging. It really comes down to a few millimetres here and centimetres there.”

At the bow, for instance, the line handling and anchoring equipment has been fitted below decks, accessible through a huge hatch. It turns this into one of the cosiest spaces on board, with a comfy sofa and an unparalleled view of the horizon that begs for you to be clutching a sundowner. Or take the emergency exit from the owner’s cabin: instead of being an irritating exercise in compliance, the addition of beautiful teak steps and a gullwing door overhead has turned this into a handy shortcut for the owner to reach the foredeck. “It’s very important to us to make use of every square centimetre,” explains Mulder. And nowhere more so than in the tender garage. Hidden behind a clamshell door on the port side, it allows nearly the whole beam of the yacht to be used to store a tender up to around 6.5 metres. A wheeled ramp to the waterline means that the tender can be launched or stowed in seconds. A sliding overhead winch arrangement makes it just as easy to launch the heavy WaveRunner GP1800 jet skis.

The boat was supplied fully equipped with tender and toys – a point of pride for Mulder. And true to its Dutch sensibilities, she is an efficient operator, too. At 10 knots, her clever  Van Oossanen -designed semi-displacement hull requires just 78 litres an hour to propel. Even flat out at 17 knots, her twin Caterpillar C18s burn a respectable 450 litres. “The Fast Displacement Hull Form is still (10 years after we introduced it) the most efficient in this speed-length range,” Perry van Oossanen says. Besides saving 20-30 per cent in fuel compared to other shapes, he says it is also a very sea-kindly hull because it relies on a rounded bilge shape. Captain Ian Jinks confirms that the yacht handled well in six-metre seas with 35 knots of wind and smaller cross seas. “It gives you a lot of confidence,” he says.

In the end, Build 110, as she was known at first, found an owner well before completion, so the Mulder family never got to enjoy their new toy; such is the risk of being a successful boatbuilder. The Dutch owner not only fell for the concept behind the boat, but he also loved the interior design. With just a few tweaks to the seating to accommodate long Dutch legs, he has fully embraced John Vickers’ design. When he saw the boat, it was just seven months from launch. “I could not believe this beauty wasn’t sold already,” the owner tells me with palpable enthusiasm. “I did not have to change much for my own personality and style because the total design matched perfectly with my taste. Everything was in balance. I just invited two Dutch painters to visit the yacht and asked them to make the pictures for the master and VIP bedrooms and the bar.”

It is his first yacht, although he used to sail an eight-metre race boat called  Wanda . “It was the first shipyard I visited and I thought, ‘Do not waste time looking at other yachts.’ Four days later I shook hands with Nick Mulder.” Not a bad turnaround for a €17.5 million deal.

Both interior designer John Vickers and exterior designer Mike Reeves hand-sketched their initial visions for  Calypso . In a discipline increasingly dominated by CAD and computational fluid dynamics, it is refreshing to find designers who rely on old-fashioned techniques to capture the essence of a project.

In Vickers’ case, it began with a picture looking down the saloon, past the bar to the showpiece forward wall. He knew from the off that he wanted something informal and beach club-esque. “There is an element of doing something by hand – your eyes do something that will make it better than using a computer. All these spaces were drawn by hand, the way I was taught to.”

Reeves agrees: “We don’t get much chance to do it, but we most enjoy that moment when you sit down with a blank piece of paper and a pencil. “Drawing is very analogue. You can generate ideas so quickly – it is a fluid, simple, binary way of communicating. You can’t quite capture the fluid nature of a pencil line in CAD. It becomes so pure in CAD, that a little bit of the emotion is lost.” Only once an idea is established does he move to CAD, then on to 3D modelling for execution only. “The moment you start trying to design the boat in 3D, it’s a nightmare.” In both cases, the early sketches closely resemble the finished product. For the interior, the bar and its seats are marginally different, while on the exterior, the rounded lines have been straightened a little, especially around the profile of the sundeck.

Fortress Takes Control of Fort Lauderdale Yacht and RV Park in $86M Deal

By julia echikson july 19, 2024 1:46 pm.

Lender Fortress Investment Group took control of a yacht and RV park in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., as part of a $85.8 million deal, property records.

Called Yacht Haven Park & Marina , the property features 4,800 lineal feet of marina dockage and 255 motorcoach sites at 2295 West State Road 84 , just west of Interstate 95. From the park, boats can travel along local waterways to where the Stranahan River spills into the Atlantic Ocean near Fort Lauderdale’s Harbordale and Port Everglades neighborhoods. 

The previous owner — Fort Lauderdale Motorcoach Resort and Yacht Club , managed by Gary Cioffi — transferred ownership of the 20-acre property through a “deed in lieu of foreclosure” transaction, according to documents filed to Broward County.

The newly recorded deed amount is just $4.1 million more than the loan that Fortress Credit Corporation provided in 2021. The mortgage came in tandem with Fort Lauderdale Motorcoach Resort and Yacht Club’s $58.1 million purchase of the complex, which was completed in 1970.  

With the loan, Cioffi planned $26 million worth of renovations. These included redesigning the pool, updating the dockage, and adding a fitness center, dog park and on-site concierge services.

During the height of the pandemic, boating surged in popularity as an easy outdoor activity for social distancing with recreational boating growing by 35 percent to $170 million in annual economic activity between 2018 and 2023, according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association .

The reason for the foreclosure remains unclear. Representatives for Fort Lauderdale Motorcoach Resort and Yacht Club and Fortress Investment Group did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
