Northrop & Johnson is pleased to present ANNABELLE, a 2024-built 46’8” MJM 42, listed for sale with Yacht Broker Brian Fisher at an asking price of $1,550,000. With only 60 hours on her engines, this nearly new express cruiser is an excellent opportunity to acquire a fully loaded, turnkey yacht with timeless Down East styling and next-gen performance.
Built in North Carolina, ANNABELLE blends traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge construction techniques. Her high-tech epoxy-infused hull, a method more common in race boats, is post-cured in a proprietary oven, resulting in a vessel that is lighter, stiffer, and more fuel-efficient than most in her class. Her hull is finished in Alexseal yacht paint, offering a deep, long-lasting shine with minimal maintenance.
Performance is where ANNABELLE shines. Powered by twin Volvo DPI 440hp engines, she cruises comfortably at 35 mph and reaches a top speed of 45 mph. The DPI system offers crisp acceleration, improved fuel economy, and quiet operation, while the Volvo joystick control makes close-quarters handling feel effortless. A Quick Gyro Stabilizer enhances stability at anchor and underway, allowing guests to enjoy a smooth, quiet ride.
From the dock, ANNABELLE’s sleek Down East profile immediately commands attention, but it’s her interior layout and finish that set her apart. Entering through a sliding glass door, guests are welcomed into the climate-controlled pilothouse, a bright, airy space with 360-degree views, electric front windows, and sliding side panels that let the breeze in on demand. A galley-up layout with full appliances and ample storage makes extended cruising easy, while a teak dining table to port doubles as a workstation or social hub. The helm features twin Italian-designed seats.
Below deck, ANNABELLE offers accommodations for five guests across two cleverly designed cabins. The forward stateroom features a near-queen berth, built-in storage, and hanging lockers, all of which can be closed off for complete privacy. Aft, a midship lounge with a convertible settee, teak table, and mounted TV serves as a second relaxation or sleep space. Tucked beneath the cockpit, a bonus berth behind a privacy curtain provides a cozy, quiet nook ideal for children or additional guests. The spacious en-suite head and shower is accessible from both the forward and midship areas.
Designed for indoor-outdoor living, ANNABELLE’s cockpit offers built-in seating for 6–8, a teak table, and an extended roofline that provides shade during warm-weather cruising. Aft, a carbon fiber-supported sunshade extends over the oversized swim platform, which doubles as tender storage or a serene spot for lounging by the water, large enough to set up a pair of teak chairs, a rare luxury on a yacht of this size.
With a cruising range of nearly 400 nautical miles, ANNABELLE is ideal for both quick weekend getaways and longer, off-the-grid adventures.
