MJM Yachts is a luxury yacht manufacturer founded in 2002 by Bob Johnstone, who also co-founded J/ Boats, Inc. in 1977, the world’s leading brand of performance sailboats. In 2019, MJM was sold to Bob Johnstone’s son, Peter.
MJM Yachts has been known for its high-tech, post-cured, epoxy infusion process, which has led to lighter, stronger, and more durable composites, resulting in impressive performance and fuel economy. The company faced several operational challenges during the pandemic, supply chain, and factory start-up, but managed to double its output. In 2021, MJM started production in its new factory in North Carolina.
