The MJM 50z is the next evolutionary step in the MJM Yachts model line, joining the company's already successful and speedy lineup of 29-, 34-, 36-, and 40-foot Downeast cruisers. And the 50z is made using the same high-tech composite techniques, which allows it to boast an ISO Category A Ocean rating, yet still be lightweight.

A unique feature of this boat is its standard Seakeeper Gyro stabilizer system, which helps to prevent uncomfortable rolling. Down below is a crisp and open Downeast interior with two different layout choices, depending on the type of voyaging you plan on doing. And speed? This boat has triple Volvo IPS 435-horsepower pod drives that can push it at speeds up to 38 knots.
