The 50z is a head-turner when she enters harbor... a rare balance of beauty and function. For entertaining dockside, look at the combined bridgedeck and cockpit space on a single level. Hospitable side-boarding doors, electric, fully-opening front windshields, and the no-roll comfort of the standard Seakeeper gyro stabilizer make a 50z the "smart" boat among 48-50 footers. Add to that Volvo Penta IPS joystick controls with DPS dynamic positioning system, her advanced hull design with superior epoxy laminate construction "like the Dreamliner" and you can understand why the 50z is in a class by itself in offering The Luxury of Effortless Driving.
One of MJM's primary building objectives is that all MJM model be certified at the highest level of safety... which meant those models under 40 feet are ISO CE Certified Category B "Offshore", while the 40z and 50z are Certified ISO CE Category A "Ocean". There are no other boats of their type, of any size, achieving this high level of offshore safety. In fact, the only two 40 foot designs we've identified in the worldwide database of the International Marine Certification Institute (IMCI) are the MJM 40z and the Nordhavn 40. The former achieves this with a low vertical center of gravity and the latter, massive tonnage. What does ISO Certification mean and how should it affect one's peace-of-mind on the water? Let's take a look at the subject. Read the full story...
PassageMaker Magazine 50z Review
Efficiency at cruise is in the eye of the beholder. And when that cruiser only gets an occasional three-day weekend away, the MJM 50z can change the game.

The art of cruising is one that we all try to practice with varying degrees of success. Many look upon the chart and the surface of the sea as the canvas. The boat is the vessel where our hopes and dreams for the next masterpiece become real, and her traits and foibles help limn the final work as our steadying hand guides her through each sequence. The result can frustrate us, or satisfy our needs, or it can inspire us to push through the perceived limitations of our medium to the next level. The MJM 50z takes that metaphor and turns it on its head. In this composition, the boat is still the medium of the cruising artist, but instead of the chart she sketches her iterations of beauty on the face of the clock, the most precious of resources to all of us.
