Mulder Design was founded in 1979 by Frank Mulder. His company is well-known for its semi-displacement and displacement luxury yachts, and the launch of the now famous high-speed yachts Octopussy, Moonraker, and The World Is Not Enough. Although Frank Mulder started designing mostly commercial vessels, he has become a respected name in high-profile yacht design over the years.

In 2009, Frank's older son, Mike Mulder, joined the team after a career in the charter business. Since then, Mulder Design has turned into a real family business. The whole team is formed by 9 professionals in the engineering and naval architecture areas, each with their own specialty, forming a trustworthy work force to make it all possible.
