This past weekend, MJM Yachts hosted a truly unforgettable event, The MJM Experience. A lively, immersive day designed to showcase not only our lineup of performance cruising yachts, but also the lifestyle and values that define the MJM brand. Held at the waterfront, this event brought together boating enthusiasts, prospective owners, and new friends for a celebration of life on the water.

From sea trials aboard our latest models to live music, incredible food and drinks, and our signature “She’s the Captain” women’s boating course, The MJM Experience lived up to its name — and then some.

Sea Trials on MJM Yachts: Experience Performance Firsthand

Throughout the day, guests had the chance to get out on the water for guided sea trials aboard MJM’s premier models. These on-the-water demos offered a firsthand look at what makes MJM yachts so distinctive; from the smooth ride and advanced handling systems to the luxurious interiors, there’s nothing like an MJM.

Behind every detail was the craftsmanship of our North Carolina boatbuilders. MJM yachts are proudly built in North Carolina — a region with deep roots in American boatbuilding tradition. Generations of skill, innovation, and passion go into every hull, every joint, and every finish. It’s a standard of excellence that owners feel the moment they step on board.

From the very first throttle push, guests could sense the difference. The ride was remarkably smooth, even at speed. The handling was responsive and confident, thanks to MJM’s advanced hull design and technology. Every turn was precise. Every wave felt effortless.

Taking the helm of an MJM gave every guest a deeper understanding of what true performance cruising is all about. MJM yachts continue to set the standard for modern powerboats.

Sea Trials – On the Dock

Empowering Women at the Helm: She’s the Captain

A standout moment of the day was “She’s the Captain,” MJM’s free women’s boating course designed to encourage and empower women to feel confident behind the wheel. Participants had the opportunity to learn practical boating skills like docking, navigation basics, emergency protocols and more in a safe, supportive, and hands-on environment.

Participants were guided through docking techniques, navigation basics, and real-world safety drills. They practiced maneuvering, learned how to read the water, and even gained confidence in handling unexpected situations.

What made the course so powerful was the atmosphere. It was hands-on and supportive, free from pressure or judgment. Many women who began the day feeling unsure left with newfound confidence, smiling as they shared their experiences with friends and family on the dock.

The Soundtrack to a Perfect Day: The New Royals

No celebration is complete without great music. The New Royals delivered a high-energy, crowd-pleasing live set that had the dock buzzing. Their mix of classic hits, modern favorites, and smooth yacht rock added the perfect soundtrack to an afternoon of good vibes and great company. Whether relaxing on the dock or dancing with a drink in hand, guests were fully immersed in the MJM lifestyle; relaxed, joyful, and just a little bit of rock & roll.

The performance wasn’t just background entertainment. It tied the entire experience together. The energy of the band mirrored the spirit of the event — vibrant, joyful, and just a little bit adventurous.

Celebrating Community and the Future of Boating

More than just a showcase of beautiful yachts, The MJM Experience was a celebration of community and connection. It was about inspiring new boaters, connecting with long-time owners, and creating space for conversations that go beyond specs and finishes. Woven into every conversation was pride in knowing MJM yachts are American-made, North Carolina-built. It’s a badge of honor; a reminder that when you step aboard an MJM, you’re not just buying a yacht. You’re joining a tradition of craftsmanship rooted in one of the nation’s most respected boatbuilding regions.

Events like this reinforce MJM’s commitment to not only building world-class yachts, but also fostering a welcoming, inclusive, and empowering yachting culture. Whether through She’s the Captain, on-water experiences, or just sharing a drink on the dock, MJM is proud to be a leader in shaping the future of boating — one experience at a time.

We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who joined us and contributed to the success of this remarkable occasion.
