Our Thoughts
Written by The Fly Yachts Team · Brokerage

The 2024 MJM 42 represents a new standard in mid-range express cruiser design—combining refined pilothouse architecture, genuine offshore capability, and the kind of build quality that resonates with serious boaters. Annabelle, offered at $1,375,000, exemplifies why this 47-foot platform has earned such strong loyalty in the market.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6 440 DPI engines with only 61 hours of operation, this yacht delivers nearly new performance without the cost or delivery timeline of new construction. The DPI system—Volvo's modern answer to traditional stern drives—offers electronically controlled joystick docking, shallow-water trim capability comparable to outboards, and the fuel efficiency that justified the 350-gallon fuel capacity for extended cruising range. The inboard configuration also preserves the full-beam swim platform, a defining advantage for tender storage and waterside living.

The pilothouse defines the MJM 42 ownership experience. Its 360-degree visibility creates a bright, connected command center equally suited for cruising, entertaining, or relaxed days underway. Climate control flows naturally through aft sliding glass doors and forward electric windows, seamlessly blending indoor comfort with open-air freedom. The galley-up layout—positioned within this social hub—keeps preparation and dining within the heart of the action, with a two-burner induction cooktop, microwave-convection oven, and dual refrigerator-freezer drawers plus additional freezer capacity.

Belowdecks, accommodations reflect thoughtful design for both comfort and practicality. The forward stateroom features a near-queen berth with overhead hatch and hull-side windows, direct head and shower access, and generous storage. The aft guest berth sits beneath the pilothouse with integrated LED lighting and entertainment. The main cabin's portside settee and movable table create a versatile space for dining, working, or relaxing—and converts into an additional double berth, allowing flexible sleeping arrangements for up to six.

At 12 feet of beam and 3 feet of draft, the 42 cruises efficiently at 26 knots while capable of 34.76 knots at full throttle. Finished in striking Peppermint Blue metallic, she carries approximately 3.5 years of remaining Volvo factory warranty and reflects the consistent care of an early hull number originally commissioned for an MJM board member.

In a market where new MJM 42s approach $1.9 million, Annabelle offers immediate usability, proven condition, and meaningful value—a rare combination in this class.

Now offered at a compelling new price, Annabelle represents one of the best opportunities currently available in a late-model MJM 42. With just 61 engine hours and remaining Volvo factory warranty, she delivers a nearly new ownership experience—without the wait or the premium of new construction. In today’s market, where new MJM 42s approach $1.9M, Annabelle stands apart as a highly attractive, value-driven alternative.

Step into the pilothouse and you’re met with the signature 360-degree visibility that sets MJM apart, creating a bright, connected space equally suited for cruising, entertaining, or relaxed days on the water. The climate-controlled environment opens effortlessly with aft sliding glass doors and forward electric windows, blending indoor comfort with open-air freedom. The galley-up layout keeps everything within reach, making time aboard easy and social, while belowdecks the accommodations are finished with the warmth and craftsmanship more often found in much larger yachts—offering a true owner’s retreat along with flexible guest space. Turnkey, lightly used, and available now, Annabelle is not simply another MJM 42—she is a rare chance to step into one immediately, and at a meaningful advantage over new.

MJM 42 for Sale: A Nearly New Express Cruiser with Volvo Twin DPI Performance and Pilothouse Comfort
The 2024 MJM 42 *Annabelle* represents a rare convergence of condition, provenance, and value in the modern express cruiser market. Listed at $1,375,000 in Naples , Florida, this 47-foot yacht delivers the refined seakeeping, thoughtful layout, and build quality that have established MJM Yacht Company as a leader in the semi-custom cruising segment—paired with the immediate usability and substantial savings that come from a lightly used, nearly new platform rather than factory construction. With only 61 engine hours logged and approximately 3.5 years of remaining Volvo factory warranty coverage, *Annabelle* offers a genuine nearly-new ownership experience without the cost premium, production delays, or uncertainty inherent in new construction. Originally commissioned for an MJM board member and finished in striking Peppermint Blue metallic, she was built to a higher standard from the outset and has been consistently rack stored and carefully maintained through two seasons of light use—including one in freshwater. In a market where new MJM 42s approach significantly higher pricing, *Annabelle* stands apart as a thoughtfully equipped, immediately available alternative for buyers who value condition and provenance alongside performance and design.
Twin Volvo Penta D6 440 DPI Engines and Propulsion Architecture
*Annabelle* is powered by twin Volvo Penta D6 440-horsepower DPI engines—a modern inboard propulsion system engineered specifically for the demands of semi-custom express cruisers. The DPI (Diesel Propulsion Integration) configuration represents a departure from traditional stern drives, offering distinct operational and practical advantages. Unlike conventional outboard or traditional inboard-outboard systems, the Volvo D6 DPI drives feature electronically controlled clutches and trim capability comparable to outboards, allowing access to shallower waters without sacrificing the clean, efficient inboard installation. The joystick control system—a standard feature on *Annabelle*—enables stress-free maneuvering with precise electronic throttle and steering integration, eliminating the awkward gear-shifting sequences common to outboard-powered vessels. This is particularly valuable in tight docking scenarios, where electronic slip control allows the operator to hold position and execute complex maneuvers with minimal physical input. The inboard configuration delivers measurable practical benefits beyond operational ease. The engines are mounted low and forward in the hull, preserving the entire transom and aft section for a full-beam swim platform—one of the defining design advantages of the MJM 42. This platform provides ample space for tender storage, waterside living, and the kind of open-air entertaining that distinguishes express cruisers from more compact center consoles. The inboard layout also contributes to the yacht's refined interior volume and accommodations, as the propulsion system does not consume cabin space. Performance figures reflect the balance MJM has engineered into this platform: a cruising speed of 26.07 knots and a maximum speed of 34.76 knots. The D6 440 engines are known for fuel efficiency, a characteristic that has allowed MJM to specify a 350-gallon fuel capacity—adequate for extended cruising without the weight and space penalties of larger tanks. With a beam of 12 feet and a draft of 3 feet, *Annabelle* combines seaworthy proportions with the ability to access moderate-draft anchorages and shallow-water cruising grounds.
Pilothouse Design and 360-Degree Visibility
The signature feature of the MJM 42 is its pilothouse configuration—a climate-controlled, fully enclosed helm environment that sets the yacht apart from open-console designs and traditional cabin cruisers. *Annabelle*'s pilothouse is defined by 360-degree visibility achieved through extensive glazing: forward electric windows and aft sliding glass doors that open the space to natural light and fresh air while maintaining weather protection and climate control. This design philosophy prioritizes the connection between operator and water. The helm position offers unobstructed sightlines in all directions, reducing blind spots and enhancing situational awareness during approach and docking. The climate-controlled environment allows extended time at the helm in varying weather conditions without sacrificing comfort—a practical advantage for cruising in the Gulf of Mexico, the Bahamas , or extended coastal passages. The pilothouse functions as the social and operational center of the yacht. From this vantage point, the operator or owner enjoys complete visibility while remaining in conversation with guests in the main cabin. The galley-up layout positions the galley within the pilothouse itself, making meal preparation an integrated part of the cruising experience rather than an isolated task below. This arrangement keeps the owner and guests connected in a bright, open environment—a hallmark of MJM's design philosophy and a defining characteristic of the express cruiser category.
Accommodations and Flexible Cabin Layout
Below deck, *Annabelle* is configured with flexible accommodations designed for both comfort and practicality. The layout supports primary sleeping arrangements for four guests with additional convertible space to accommodate up to six. The forward stateroom features a near-queen berth with under-berth storage and natural light from overhead and hullside windows. The windows create a bright, connected feel to the water and enhance the sense of space. Direct access to the head and shower compartment enhances privacy and convenience, eliminating the need for guests to navigate through common areas to access facilities. Aft, beneath the pilothouse, a generous guest berth provides a comfortable secondary sleeping space, complete with integrated LED lighting and a television. This berth is positioned to maximize headroom and comfort while keeping the layout efficient. The main cabin features a portside settee with a movable table—a versatile arrangement that functions equally well as a dining space, work area, or casual retreat during the day. The settee and table are engineered to convert seamlessly into a double berth, allowing the main cabin to serve as additional sleeping accommodation when needed. This flexibility is particularly valuable for owners who entertain guests or plan extended family cruising. Throughout the accommodations, MJM has applied the craftsmanship and material quality typically found in much larger yachts. The warmth of the interior finishes, the attention to storage and integrated lighting, and the functional layout reflect the semi-custom nature of the build and the care taken in the original design.
Galley and Culinary Functionality
The galley-up design is a defining feature of the MJM 42 and a significant advantage over traditional cabin cruiser layouts where the galley is isolated below deck. Positioned within the pilothouse, *Annabelle*'s galley becomes the social center of the yacht—a bright, open space with 360-degree visibility where meal preparation is an integrated part of the cruising experience. The galley is well-equipped for extended cruising and entertaining. A two-burner induction cooktop provides efficient cooking without the heat output of traditional electric or gas stovetops. A microwave-convection oven combination offers versatility for reheating, baking, and meal preparation. Refrigeration includes dual refrigerator-freezer drawers plus an additional freezer drawer—ample capacity for fresh provisions and frozen stores during extended cruising or entertaining. The layout keeps everything within reach, minimizing the effort required to prepare meals and maintain the yacht during cruising. The integration of the galley with the main pilothouse and living space means that the cook remains part of the social environment rather than isolated below deck—a practical and psychologically important distinction for owners who value the interactive, connected nature of modern yacht cruising.
Comfort, Climate Control, and Interior Amenities
*Annabelle* is finished as a climate-controlled yacht designed for comfortable cruising in varying weather conditions. The pilothouse environment is fully enclosed and heated or cooled as needed. Aft sliding glass doors and forward electric windows allow the owner to modulate the balance between climate control and open-air ventilation—opening the space during pleasant conditions and sealing it during rough weather or extreme temperatures. The cabin accommodations feature integrated LED lighting throughout, creating a modern, energy-efficient environment that is easily adjustable for different moods and times of day. Televisions in the forward stateroom and aft guest berth provide entertainment options, while the overall interior design emphasizes quality finishes and thoughtful details. Water capacity of 110 gallons supports extended cruising and daily living aboard, while the 350-gallon fuel capacity, combined with the fuel efficiency of the Volvo D6 engines, provides adequate range for multi-day cruising itineraries without frequent refueling.

What are the engines and performance specs on this 2024 MJM 42, and how do they compare to traditional stern drives?
Annabelle is powered by twin Volvo Penta D6 440HP DPI engines—an advanced inboard propulsion system that differs significantly from conventional stern drives. The DPI system features electronically controlled joystick docking with slip clutches for precise maneuvering without traditional gear shifting, trim capability that allows access to shallow water similar to outboards, and exceptional fuel efficiency that extends cruising range. With only 61 engine hours and approximately 3.5 years of remaining Volvo factory warranty, these engines deliver a nearly new operational experience. The inboard configuration also enables the full-beam swim platform that is one of the defining advantages of the MJM 42 design.
What is the cruising range and fuel efficiency of the MJM 42 with the 350-gallon fuel capacity?
The MJM 42 cruises at 26.07 knots with a maximum speed of 34.76 knots. The 350-gallon fuel capacity was specifically engineered for the D6 440HP DPI engine package, allowing the designers to reduce tank size while maintaining extended cruising range due to the exceptional fuel efficiency of this propulsion system. This efficiency-focused approach means you can plan longer passages without the weight and space penalty of larger fuel tanks, making it practical for both day cruising and multi-day offshore trips.
How does the galley-up layout on the MJM 42 work, and what cooking equipment is included?
The galley-up design positions the galley within the pilothouse, creating the social center of the yacht where the owner and guests remain connected in a bright, open environment with panoramic visibility—whether underway or at anchor. The galley is equipped with a two-burner induction cooktop, a microwave/convection combo oven, dual refrigerator/freezer drawers, and an additional freezer drawer, making it well-equipped for extended cruising. This layout blends functionality with the open, airy feel that defines the MJM experience, allowing meal preparation without isolation from the main living space.
What is the cabin and accommodation layout below deck, and how many people can sleep aboard?
Annabelle accommodates four people as primary guests and can sleep up to six total. The forward stateroom features a near-queen berth with storage beneath, overhead hatch, and topsides windows that connect your view to the water, plus direct access to the head and shower for privacy. Aft beneath the pilothouse is a large guest berth with integrated LED lighting and a TV. In the main cabin, a portside settee with a movable table serves as an office or dining space; removing the table allows the seating to pivot into a double berth for additional guests. This flexible design accommodates both comfortable primary ownership and guest entertaining.
What makes the pilothouse design on the MJM 42 distinctive, and what visibility does it provide?
The MJM 42 pilothouse is defined by 360-degree visibility that creates a bright, connected space equally suited for cruising, entertaining, or relaxed days on the water. The climate-controlled environment opens effortlessly with aft sliding glass doors and forward electric windows, blending indoor comfort with open-air freedom. This signature design approach sets MJM apart in the express cruiser category, allowing the helm operator and guests to remain visually connected to the water and surroundings from nearly every angle, which enhances both safety and the cruising experience.
How does joystick control on the MJM 42 improve docking and maneuvering compared to traditional controls?
The Volvo joystick control system integrated with the D6 DPI engines features electronically controlled slip clutches that eliminate awkward gear shifting and allow effortless, precise maneuvering—particularly during docking. Rather than managing separate throttle and gear levers, the operator simply moves the joystick in the desired direction, and the system automatically manages clutch engagement and engine response. This design significantly reduces operator fatigue during tight maneuvering, improves docking accuracy, and makes the boat accessible to a wider range of operators, from experienced captains to less-experienced family members.
What are the water capacity and freshwater systems on the MJM 42?
Annabelle has a 110-gallon water capacity, which is appropriately sized for the four-to-six person accommodation layout and supports extended cruising without requiring frequent refilling. The freshwater system is integrated throughout the galley, head, and shower, allowing comfortable freshwater use for cooking, washing, and hygiene during multi-day trips. The capacity balances adequate supply for comfort with the weight and space efficiency priorities that define the MJM 42 design.
What is the swim platform on the MJM 42, and how is it used?
One of the defining advantages of the MJM 42's inboard D6 DPI engine configuration is the full-beam swim platform at the transom. This expansive platform is ideal for tender storage, allowing you to carry a dinghy or personal watercraft without compromising deck space or aesthetics. Beyond storage, the swim platform provides a safe, convenient staging area for swimming, water sports, and waterside living—creating a resort-like experience when anchored or moored. The full-beam design maximizes usable space compared to narrower platforms found on boats with traditional outboard or stern drive configurations.
What is the draft of the MJM 42, and does it allow access to shallow-water destinations?
The MJM 42 has a draft of 3 feet, and the trim capability of the Volvo D6 DPI engines allows the drives to be raised similar to outboards, enabling access to shallower water areas that would be impossible for traditional inboard or stern drive boats. This shallow-draft capability, combined with the 26-knot cruising speed, makes the MJM 42 practical for exploring coastal bays, rivers, and anchorages typically reserved for smaller center console or open boats. The ability to trim up the engines without sacrificing the inboard advantages—such as the full-beam swim platform and joystick control—gives owners flexibility in destination planning.
How does the Peppermint Blue finish and overall condition of this 2024 MJM 42 reflect its ownership history?
Annabelle is finished in striking Peppermint Blue metallic, a distinctive color that stands out elegantly at the dock and is unmistakable underway. The boat was originally commissioned for an MJM board member and built as an early hull number, incorporating early refinements and thoughtful upgrades that positioned her as the model's original showboat. Over two seasons of light use—including one in freshwater—and consistent rack storage, Annabelle has been maintained to an exceptional standard that reflects a level of care rarely found in brokerage offerings. With only 61 engine hours, she delivers a nearly new ownership experience without the cost, wait, or uncertainty of new construction, while offering significant savings compared to new MJM 42s currently approaching $1.9 million in the market.
