PERFORMANCE REDEFINED: THE 69-METRE HIGH SPEED CRUISING YACHT
The 69-Metre High Speed Cruising Yacht by Mulder Design is conceived for owners who seek true long-range capability without compromising on speed, elegance, or onboard comfort. Developed entirely in-house by the Dutch studio, the concept combines a powerful and contemporary exterior with Mulder Design’s proven High Speed Cruising hull philosophy.
By eliminating traditional handoffs between disciplines, our cross-disciplinary team works collaboratively from the very first sketch, ensuring that structural, spatial, and technical decisions all evolve together. The result is a seamless, cohesive vessel tailored to each owner’s unique needs, where every detail is purposefully designed as part of a unified whole.
Engineered to Deliver Efficient Performance at the core of the design lies the Mulder Design High Speed Cruising hull form, engineered to deliver efficient performance across a wide operational profile. Unlike traditional displacement yachts that are optimized for a single cruising speed, this advanced hull platform is designed to operate comfortably and efficiently from economical transoceanic passages to high-speed cruising. The result is a yacht capable of reaching maximum speeds up to 27 knots and a high speed cruising speed of 2 knots while still offering an impressive transatlantic range of up to 6,500 nautical miles at 12 knots in diesel-electric mode.
The exterior styling reflects this dual personality. Strong horizontal lines, expansive glazing, and a sharp bow profile create a sleek and purposeful appearance, while the balanced proportions maintain the elegance expected of a modern superyacht. Large exterior deck spaces, a private owner’s deck, generous guest accommodation, and a seamless connection between interior and exterior living areas make the concept equally suited for extended cruising or entertaining at anchor.
Designed as a true global explore the 69-metre yacht combines lightweight engineering with structural strength and performance efficiency. Powered by twin MTU 20V4000M93L engines coupled to Voith Linear Jets, the yacht benefits from reduced draft, high maneuverability, and exceptional ride comfort at speed.
The concept represents Mulder Design’s continued focus on technically advanced, performance-oriented yachts that combine naval architecture expertise with refined exterior design. More than simply a fast yacht, the 69M High Speed Cruising Yacht is designed as a true global explorer capable of covering long distances quickly, efficiently, and in complete comfort.
