MJM Yachts is introducing a new design direction with its V Series, debuting the 38V at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and announcing plans for the larger 47V and a redesigned 47R for 2027. The new series adds an open-air, entertainment-focused approach to the Washington, North Carolina, builder’s established X and R Series, while retaining its C5 composite construction.
At 46 feet, 8 inches, the upcoming 47V is designed around socializing, with seating that flows from beneath its express hardtop into the aft cockpit. An optional aft galley and bar configuration puts refreshments within easy reach. The helm gets a sport-inspired steering wheel, while ebony wood accents and contemporary finishes give the cabin a fresh look. Power will come from twin Mercury Verado 300-hp outboards, with optional 425-hp V10s..
The 2027 47R, meanwhile, gets a revised interior arrangement centered on a galley-down layout. Moving the galley belowdecks creates additional pilothouse seating, while a raised deck provides more headroom and space for a larger second stateroom. Accommodations also include a primary stateroom and a head with a separate shower. Buyers will have a choice of twin Mercury 600-hp Verado outboards or twin Volvo Penta 440 DPI sterndrives.
The 47V and updated 47R share a 12-foot beam, 475-gallon fuel capacity and 90-gallon freshwater capacity. Both are designed to carry MJM’s performance-oriented approach into a new generation of cruising and entertaining boats.
