Owner-Operator Sweet Spot

CL Yachts CLB65-2

RIGHT-SIZED YACHTING The CLB65 lands squarely in the owner-operator sweet spot. Traditional lines outside, a modern, well-organized interior inside, and IPS pod drives that keep handling predictable. At 65 feet, she offers real cruising range and space without crossing into “too much boat.”

MJM 35

In-Stock, Owner-Focused Design & Build

2025-mjm-35-power-10012380-20251123094452514-1

BUILT TO LAST  The MJM 35 is a performance-minded dayboat designed to be run efficiently, not just admired. Her epoxy composite build is 3x the cost of polyester resin used by virtually all of her competitors. Epoxy is stronger, which means the hull can be lighter, yet still absorb impact without cracking or spidering, which is typical of polyester boats in some conditions.  Her enclosed pilothouse and simple cabin arrangement support entertaining and the occasional overnight without fuss.
