Mulder Favorite 2200 Rivals

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Mulder Favorite 2200 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Grand Banks GB62 Skylounge offer the same total guests sleeping overnight, but with 4 cabins could be a better choice for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the Favorite 2200 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a skylight. Equivalently, the Fleming Yachts Fleming 75 and Zeelander Zeelander 8 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 7 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Mulder Favorite 2200 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 17 knots and a top speed of 22 knots. The Mulder Favorite 2200 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Zeelander Zeelander 8 which has an impressive cruising speed of 26 knots powered by its 900hp Volvo Penta D13-IPS1200 engines and can reach a top speed of 40 knots. This is closely followed by the Palm Beach PB70 Flybridge with a notable cruising speed of 28 knots and top speed of 34 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Palm Beach PB70 Flybridge impresses with its extensive range of 933 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Palm Beach PB70 Flybridge and Zeelander Zeelander 8 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Palm Beach PB70 Flybridge focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 28 knots. Meanwhile, the Zeelander Zeelander 8 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 40 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Mulder Favorite 2200 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
