The North Carolina builder unveiled its new V Series at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Performance Vehicles
MJM Yachts launched its new V Series with the 47V at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The model is designed to complement the builder's established X and R Series with a contemporary, social, open-air layout.
Why it matters
The launch extends the builder's lineup into a larger platform for buyers seeking a social, open-air luxury performance yacht. It also adds a new dealer territory in the Bahamas and Caribbean.
The 47V has a 46'8" LOA, 12' beam, 36" draft with engines down, and 17,730 lbs. displacement, carrying 475 gallons of fuel and 90 gallons of freshwater. Standard power is 2 x 300hp Mercury Verado outboards, with an optional 2 x 425hp setup and a top speed of 50+ mph.
The players
MJM Yachts
A North Carolina builder of luxury performance yachts known for its X, R, and V Series lines.
David Walters Yachts
A dealership appointed in January 2026 to represent MJM Yachts across the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
The details
The V Series is designed to carry the contemporary, social, open-air philosophy of the builder's brand onto a larger platform. The 47V is the first model in the series to launch, unveiled at the Fort Lauderdale boat show.
Timeline
2025: MJM Yachts began offering Seakeeper as its exclusive gyrostabilization option across its 2026 lineup.
January 2026: MJM Yachts appointed David Walters Yachts as dealer for the Bahamas and Caribbean.
November 2, 2026: MJM Yachts launched the V Series at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
Roadmap
The 47V extends MJM Yachts' 2026 lineup, which has relied exclusively on Seakeeper gyrostabilization since 2025, onto a larger hull. The launch places the builder's social, open-air design against a performance-yacht market where stabilization has become a standard buyer expectation.
Buyers considering a 47-foot performance yacht now have a new option with 300hp standard or 425hp optional outboard power. Prospective owners in the Bahamas and Caribbean can contact David Walters Yachts for the new model.
The takeaway
For buyers weighing performance yachts, the 47V's fuel and freshwater capacities and engine options are the practical specs to compare against other 47-foot builds before committing.
