Bas Mulder to Present Design Philosophy at Boot Düsseldorf Press Conference: Al Dhaen Boats Unveils DB 380SC
European debut marks the beginning of an extensive new model range spanning 25 to 56 feet.
Düsseldorf, Germany – Bas Mulder of Mulder Design will present the design philosophy behind the new DB 380SC centre console at a press conference on Sunday, January 18th at Boot Düsseldorf, where Al Dhaen Boats is showcasing the European debut of this vessel, the first result of a comprehensive new collaboration between the two companies.
The DB 380SC represents a focused approach to offshore performance boating, prioritizing thoughtful design decisions over feature accumulation. At its core lies a stepped V-hull with a fine bow entry, engineered to deliver predictable handling and confident performance across varying sea conditions, with emphasis on balance and efficiency rather than maximum speed alone.
Purposeful Design Throughout
The vessel’s walkaround layout provides intuitive movement on deck, with generous and flexible seating areas forward and aft that adapt seamlessly between cruising, entertaining, and anchoring. The helm station has been designed with a clear focus on ergonomics and reduced workload, making extended offshore runs more comfortable for the captain.
Breaking from traditional centre console conventions, the DB 380SC features a well-appointed cabin with pantry and head, adding genuine versatility for longer days on the water and overnight trips.
Foundation of a New Range
The DB 380SC is more than a standalone model—it establishes the design DNA for an entirely new family of boats from Al Dhaen and Mulder Design. The planned range will eventually span approximately 25 to 56 feet, encompassing both centre console and cabin configurations with outboard and inboard propulsion options. Models will vary from sport-focused to luxury-oriented designs, all sharing the same core design philosophy.
“The DB 380SC represents the foundation of that future: a boat with a clear purpose, honest design, and a strong balance between performance and lifestyle,” notes Bas Mulder of Mulder Design during the press launch.
The DB 380SC is now available for viewing at Boot Düsseldorf, where visitors can experience the vessel firsthand and learn more about the upcoming model range.
