MJM 35z:
New Downeast Dayboat Design
With its first outboard-powered model, the 35z, MJM Yachts says it has followed the design approach of setting up the boat for the way she’s used 80% of the time — as a day boat for entertaining close to home. MJM has pioneered the concept of a Downeast-style day boat that maximizes utility for on-board picnics, cocktail parties, and sundown cruising. Her twin outboards create extra room in the cockpit to accommodate a large party. For a long weekend at an island anchorage, the forward cabin and galley provide everything needed. More...

Riviera Introduces 50 Sports Motor Yacht
Riviera Yachts owner Rodney Longhurst in the 50 SMY video debut.
In a dramatic nighttime event, Riviera Yachts unveiled its latest model, the 50 Sports Motor Yacht. Clad in a tuxedo, company owner Rodney Longhurst made the introduction touting the boat’s combination of performance, bluewater capabilities and luxurious accommodations and amenities. She’s available with inboard or Volvo Penta IPS pod propulsion and her main deck has the aft cockpit, a semi-open mezzanine and salon on the same level. The helm is on the flying bridge, which has more space to entertain. Belowdecks, she has a full-beam master with a separate shower. Check out the video introduction by clicking here.

Teak accents add class, but modern practical features such as a hullside entry door, cockpit refreshment center and Bimini top or color coordinated hardtop are features never dreamed of 75 years ago. She’s available in sterndrive or outboard power. More...

Formula 380 Super Sport Crossover:
Innovative Sterndrive Watersports Platform
Formula 380 Super Sport Crossover
With almost every new day boat in the 35’ (11.58 m) to 40’ (12.19 m) range being designed and built for outboard power, Formula went with sterndrives on the 380 Super Sport Crossover. Customers told the company they wanted the open transom so they could use the boat as a base of operations for spending the day on large lakes and rivers. All the social zones are on the same level so passengers can move from the large swim platform to the bow easily and throughout, the 380 Super Sport Crossover has the luxury and refinements for which Formula is known.
