🔲 At our design studio, we approach every yacht project as an integrated ecosystem where exterior design, naval architecture, interior design, and engineering evolve together from initial sketches.

Our cross-disciplinary team develops hull forms alongside spatial planning, ensuring structural requirements enhance interior volumes. We immerse ourselves in the owner’s operational patterns, driving technical decisions from propulsion to materials.

🔲 60-Metre Apex Concept

This design by Mulder Design presents the Apex Concept, a 60-metre motor yacht. Both the naval architecture and exterior styling have been developed entirely in-house by the Dutch design studio.

The Apex Concept has been developed around a performance-oriented brief. Twin MTU 20V4000M93L main engines deliver a combined output of 8,600 kW (11,532 hp), enabling a top speed of 28 knots at light load.

The yacht is capable of a high-speed cruising speed of 22 knots, while at a long-range cruising speed of 12 knots the vessel achieves a range of 4,500 nautical miles, positioning the Apex Concept firmly within the extended deep-water passage segment.

The aluminium hull and superstructure measure 60.00 metres in length, with a beam of 10.70 metres and a draught of 2.60 metres. Onboard accommodation is provided for 12 guests and 14 crew. The interior design may be fully tailored to the owner’s wishes.

🔲 MY Ursus has been nominated in the rebuilt yachts category at the BOAT International World Superyacht Awards 2026

We are delighted to announce that M/Y Ursus has been nominated in the Rebuilt Yachts category at the World Superyacht Awards 2026, the most coveted recognition in the global superyacht industry, recognised across the industry for its integrity and prestige.

The nomination is a tribute to an extraordinary collaboration between Balk Shipyard and Mulder Design, who together transformed Ursus into something truly exceptional. Over the course of 18 months, the yacht was extended by six metres to a sleek 30-metre vessel, with her bow and stern completely reimagined. The result is a yacht that feels entirely new, yet retains the soul of the original — a balance that is as rare as it is beautiful.
