FX is a thirty eight metre motor yacht designed by Mulder and delivered in 2016, refreshed in a 2023 refit, a composed, contemporary yacht that pairs Dutch design with real volume and a long range, easy going character. She looks after ten guests across five cabins with a crew of seven, and her appeal is clear: a crisp, light filled interior, generous sun decks for long days in the open air and the kind of space and range that let a group settle into a proper week of cruising. For a family or a group of friends who want a modern, well run yacht with room to spread out and the reach to explore, she reads as refined, calm and quietly confident from the first day aboard.
Her point of difference is the Mulder design and the quality that comes with it. The Dutch studio built its name on clean, well proportioned yachts that carry more volume than their length suggests, and FX shows that character throughout, crisp white joinery set against warm timber, generous glass that draws the sea into every room and a layout that moves ten guests easily between the saloon, the decks and the water. The 2023 refit kept her finishes and systems current, so a charter aboard her feels fresh and well tended, while the twin MTU engines underneath hold a confident, comfortable cruise with the composure to settle into a long passage.
Life in the open air spreads across her decks. The sun deck opens into a broad run of sun pads and soft seating with a spa pool set into the teak, the natural gathering point for a long lunch and for drinks as the light drops over the bay. A deck below, the foredeck sets out a generous sunpad for lying out over the water away from the party, the aft deck gathers around a shaded dining table a few paces from the sea, and a swim platform at the stern gives easy access to the water with the tender and a full spread of toys close at hand for a day of swimming and exploring the coast.
Inside, the main deck is bright and contemporary, finished in crisp white against warm timber. The main saloon gathers around a long white sofa with the sea drawn in through tall windows on both sides, and a second seating zone a few steps forward carries the social life toward the dining area, a calmer corner with its own soft chairs and low table. Forward, a formal dining area seats the full party of ten around a pale table beneath soft light, close to the galley and the crew. The whole deck flows together so the group stays connected whether on the sofa, at the table or watching the coast slip by, the airy finish keeping the space fresh and uncluttered from morning to evening.
Accommodation is arranged over five cabins for ten guests. The master stateroom takes a private, well lit position with a wide bed, a seating area, generous storage and its own bathroom, while a VIP cabin and further guest cabins, each quiet and comfortable with their own facilities, look after the rest of the party below. It is a generous, flexible plan that suits a family or a group of friends, with cabins ready for children or younger guests sharing, every room lined in the same crisp white and warm timber as the main deck and finished to the same considered standard.
Under way she is calm and assured, a composed semi displacement yacht that holds an easy cruise of twenty knots from her twin MTU engines and settles quietly at anchor at the end of a long day. Her natural ground is Turkey and the eastern Mediterranean, the clear water and quiet bays of the Turkish coast with the wider Mediterranean within comfortable reach through the season, exactly the kind of unhurried cruising her range and volume were made for. Modern, spacious and attentively crewed, FX is a refined and easy going way to charter the eastern Mediterranean with the whole party kept close.
