Experience Coastal Carolina From the Helm of an MJM Yacht

A great waterfront destination deserves an unforgettable experience on the water.

During MJM Experience 2026, guests will have exclusive access to a weekend designed around boating, craftsmanship, and community.

Unlike a traditional boat show, MJM Experience allows you to spend more time exploring the yachts, asking questions, meeting the team, and experiencing how an MJM performs where it matters most — on the water.

Guests can enjoy:

• Personalized MJM yacht sea trials

• One-on-one conversations with product experts

• Time with MJM owners and boating enthusiasts

• Exclusive previews from the MJM team

• A relaxed environment designed around the boating lifestyle

Where Are MJM Yachts Built?

Every MJM Yacht is proudly built in Washington, North Carolina, continuing a tradition of skilled boatbuilding along the Carolina coast.

As part of MJM Experience, guests can take advantage of scheduled transportation from New Bern to Washington for an exclusive factory visit.

Go behind the scenes, meet the craftspeople behind every MJM, and see firsthand the attention to detail, innovation, and craftsmanship behind each yacht.

Built in North Carolina. Crafted for Life.
