News: MJM Yachts Launches New Boating Course for Women
MJM Yachts to Launch “She’s the Captain” Boating Course at September Event
Luxury performance yacht manufacturer MJM Yachts is proud to announce it will launch its new boating course for women, “She’s the Captain” on September 19-20, 2025 at its MJM Experience customer appreciation event in New Bern, N.C. The complimentary course will be taught by an instructor with more than two decades of experience. Soon to be offered nationally by participating MJM Yachts dealers, “She’s the Captain” is designed to boost women’s boating skills and confidence at the helm.
“While many of MJM’s female customers drive their yachts themselves or share the helm with a male partner, others have told us they feel like a passenger on their own boat. ‘She’s the Captain‘ is designed to empower women to take charge of their yacht and to enhance their feelings of ownership and independence on the water,” says Natascia Hatch, MJM Yachts president and CEO.
“She’s the Captain” blends classroom time with practical, hands-on training on the water, provided in a supportive, all-female environment. Participants in the course will learn the following skills:
Boat systems and helm controls: Demystifying the dashboard and equipment
Docking and line handling: Learning Knot-tying and docking strategies
Navigation basics: Understanding local waterways, rules of the road, and safe boating
Practical boat handling: Hands-on time at the helm in real conditions
Confidence on the water: Tips for calm, clear decision-making.
As a premier builder of luxury performance yachts located in Washington, North Carolina, MJM Yachts is also known for its modern Carolina Downeast style and C5 Composite Construction Process — designed by boaters for boaters. MJM Yachts offers an uncompromised boating experience for owners who demand the best.
