The 38-foot MJM, Boston Boat Works motor yacht MARE, is a prominent example of the highly respected MJM 35z. She offers both high performance as an exciting day boat and a useful cruising yacht. She was constructed by Boston Boat Works using advanced pre-composite technology. Mare provides smooth handling and efficiency that have earned the MJM name such high regard among careful boat owners.
The boat was designed by the well-known naval architect Doug Zurn. She has a long, narrow hull with a modified deep-V profile and a 19.7-degree transom deadrise. MARE promises smooth, sure performance in a wide variety of conditions. Her ISO Category B Offshore certification highlights her seaworthiness. She is equipped with two 2020 Mercury 300hp Verado outboards, with only 240 hours of use. The yacht cruises at a comfortable speed of 35 mph and offers a maximum speed of 50 mph. Joystick controls make docking easier, and a Seakeeper 3 gyrostabilizer improves comfort by reducing the boat's rolling both when anchored and when moving.

MJM 35: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The MJM 35Z is a couple's cruising boat just under 38 feet in length, designed and built by MJM Yachts, a company known for crafting boats by cruisers for cruisers. This model features an immaculate fit and finish and is powered by twin 350-horsepower Mercury Verado outboard engines. The boat balances performance, handling, and convenience, making it well suited for coastal cruising.
Exterior Design and Operational Features
The twin 350-horsepower Mercury Verado outboards are mounted in a recessed area within the swim platform, allowing easy access for daily checks and servicing while maintaining the platform's functionality for swimming. The hydraulic steering and rigging lines occupy minimal space in the single engine well, contributing to a clean installation. The boat includes a joystick piloting system for enhanced maneuverability. Cleats are positioned high on the cap rail, and the cockpit deck contains two in-deck compartments housing engine start batteries, raw water pumps for air conditioners, and generator batteries. House batteries are located ahead and under bench seats, with shore power connectivity on the starboard side. The compartments also contain fresh water tanks, with hoses double clamped and protected by guards on sharp edges, reflecting attention to detail and durability. The bow features non-skid surfaces on the cap rails and side decks in a contrasting color for improved visibility and safe footing. Steps lead to the side decks, complemented by convenient grab rails and full-length rails for safety. The foredeck includes two 12-inch cleats, chafing gear integrated into the cap rail, and an electric windlass managing an all-chain rode leading to a stainless steel anchor roller. Control switches for the windlass are located on the starboard side, and a stainless scuff plate protects the stem. The SeaKeeper 3 gyro stabilizer is centrally positioned under a hatch, optimally located for performance and noticeable in reducing boat motion even in light chop.
Helm and Bridge Layout
The helm is mounted on the starboard side and features a 15-inch multifunction display, accompanied by a digital depth gauge and a Mercury-branded Simrad display that duplicates the main screen's functions. The lower panel houses electrical switches, bow thruster control, and the joystick control for the outboards. Additional controls include a remote for the rail-mounted LED spotlight, ZipWake auto trim tab control, remote for the main display, and digital throttle and shift with selectable features. Bilge pump controls and the generator panel are also integrated. The steering wheel combines wood and stainless steel, and the VHF microphone is positioned thoughtfully to avoid obstructing the operator's view. The STID seats at helm and companion positions are fully adjustable and complemented by teak footrests. Visibility is enhanced by low side windows and forward windows that open horizontally to avoid obstructing the line of sight. Multiple grab handles are strategically placed for safety. The companionway hatch is angled with a lower fiddle designed to hold a chart book, effectively creating a secondary navigation station. The observer's seat mirrors the helm's comfort and visibility, with additional counter space featuring fiddles for dining while underway and room for an additional navigation display.
Dimensions and Performance
The MJM 35Z measures 37 feet 11 inches overall, with an 11-foot beam and a draft of 28 inches. The test weight, including 63% fuel and three people, was approximately 14,923 pounds. Powered by twin 350-horsepower Mercury Verado engines turning 17-pitch Rev-4 propellers, the boat achieved a top speed of 40.9 knots at 5,900 RPM. Optimal fuel economy was recorded at 24.5 knots with a fuel burn of 20.5 gallons per hour, translating to 1.2 nautical miles per gallon and a range of approximately 269 nautical miles while retaining a 10% fuel reserve from the 250-gallon total capacity. The boat accelerates on a nearly level attitude, maintaining visibility of the horizon, and settles into a five-degree bow-high trim at cruising speed. Planing speed is reached in about four seconds, 20 knots in six seconds, and 30 knots in 9.5 seconds. Handling is sea-kindly, with smooth, gentle rolls into hard turns and no propeller ventilation even when trimmed. The boat maintains speed through turns without requiring additional throttle input. Docking performance was excellent, with the joystick and bow thruster controls positioned for intuitive, one-handed operation, allowing precise maneuvering even in challenging conditions such as a 20-knot crosswind.
Conclusion
The MJM 35Z delivers a well-rounded cruising experience with its combination of thoughtful design, high-quality construction, and strong performance. The outboard power enhances interior space and storage, making it an attractive option for coastal cruisers seeking both comfort and capability. Its sea-kindly handling, ease of operation, and attention to detail in both systems and ergonomics underscore MJM's reputation for building boats designed by and for cruisers.
