Measuring 21 meters, the new Mulder model sits between the established Favorite 1700 and Favorite 2200, targeting owners seeking a compact aluminum yacht with classic proportions, manageable size, and genuine cruising capability.
Clean Lines and Classic Proportions
The exterior styling of the boat presents a low, elongated profile with a gently sloping superstructure and restrained detailing. The hull features clean horizontal lines and dark glazing bands that visually stretch the yacht’s length, while maintaining a classic, balanced stance underway.
A continuous side deck runs forward to a flush foredeck, framed by solid bulwarks that emphasize safety and practicality. The foredeck is uncluttered, with space suitable for loose furniture or sunpads, depending on owner specification.
Aft, the yacht shows a compact open deck with direct access to the water, suited to coastal cruising and short offshore passages. The superstructure roofline extends aft to provide shelter over the main deck area, contributing to the yacht’s all-weather usability rather than open-air emphasis.
The main deck layout prioritizes interior volume and protected circulation. Large side windows bring natural light into the saloon, while maintaining a low exterior profile. The wheelhouse is integrated into the forward section of the superstructure, providing clear sightlines and separation from guest seating.
Lower Deck Accommodation
Accommodation is arranged for up to six guests across three cabins, all located on the lower deck. This configuration aligns with the Favorite series’ focus on private, well-proportioned sleeping spaces rather than maximizing berth count.
The owner’s cabin is positioned amidships, benefiting from the yacht’s full beam and reduced motion underway. Forward, a VIP cabin occupies the bow, while a twin guest cabin completes the arrangement.
Speed, Structure, and Efficiency
The Favorite 2000’s aluminum construction plays a central role in its performance profile. Aluminum allows for weight control without sacrificing structural strength, supporting the motor yacht’s ability to exceed 24 knots while maintaining efficiency at lower cruising speeds.
As a semi-displacement design, the hull is intended to perform across a wide speed range, rather than being optimized solely for maximum velocity. This suits owners who value flexibility, fuel efficiency, and comfort over long distances.
Key Differences Between the Mulder 1700, 2000, and 2200
Mulder’s Favorite 2000 arrives as the natural step between the Favorite 1700 and Favorite 2200, sitting at 20.8m and keeping the same core ingredients - aluminum construction, classic styling, and a cruising-focused brief. With a semi-displacement hull and claimed speeds in excess of 24 knots, it is positioned as the faster option on paper, especially against the Mulder Favorite 1700, which reaches up to 22 knots.
Our experience aboard the Favorite 1700 highlighted what Mulder does well at this scale: high-end build quality, serious engineering, and owner-friendly systems, wrapped in a yacht with real long-stay potential. The 1700 also showed how far customization can go, from interior finish choices to practical features like a collapsible mast for low bridge clearance.

At the top of the range, the 22.5m Mulder Favorite 2200 shifts the emphasis toward extra volume and capability - a flybridge, Vripack naval architecture with Guido de Groot design, up to 2,250nm of range at 10 knots, and details geared for extended self-sufficient cruising, including a tender garage and substantial storage. Against that backdrop, the Favorite 2000 reads as the series’ middle ground: more boat than the 1700, less footprint than the 2200, and aimed at buyers who want classic Mulder DNA in a manageable package.
As the newest addition to the Favorite series, the Mulder Favorite 2000 strengthens the range with a clear midpoint option focused on owner-friendly cruising. Its debut at boot Düsseldorf 2026 will give prospective buyers their first opportunity to assess how this balance of size, performance, and practicality translates in person.
