Choosing the size of a sailboat starts with how you want to sail: how many people aboard, for how long and where. The Veleiros MJ range has four models, all ocean-going and custom-built. Here are the numbers side by side.

MJ 34 DS: a 34-footer with the comfort of a 36
The MJ 34 DS is the entry point to the range, but it is not small inside: 3 double cabins, 1.95 m headroom and a table that converts into 4 berths. It suits sailors who want agility and easy handling without giving up comfort on cruises and long voyages. It also has the shallowest draft in the range (1.75 m).
MJ 38 DS: Deck Solarium and two bathrooms with showers
The MJ 38 DS adds a fourth cabin, two bathrooms with showers, a flush cockpit and the Deck Solarium concept. Owners have taken it on long passages: Khalifa carried Captain Adriano's family from Brazil to the Caribbean and is sailing around the world, and Wahoo sailed from Ilhabela to New Zealand.
MJ 44 DS: for months aboard
The MJ 44 DS has 2.30 m headroom, 200 L diesel and 550 L water tanks and a spacious, integrated cockpit. It is designed for long seasons aboard and major passages. It also performs under race conditions: at REFENO 2026, three MJ 44s finished in the top four of the Bico de Proa B category.
MJ 60 DS: the ocean fast cruiser
The MJ 60 DS is the largest in the range: 18.40 m, 4 suites and an 8,000 kg fin keel. It is built in fiberglass using CNC-made molds for precise construction. It is for owners who want to live aboard, host family and friends and make long crossings with performance.
How to decide
- Crew: count how many people regularly sleep aboard. Up to 6, the 34 and 38 work well; for more people or more privacy, the 44 or 60.
- Time aboard: weekends and short cruises need less tankage; long seasons call for the range of the 44 or 60.
- Where you anchor: draft decides where the boat can go. The 34 and 38 draw under 2 m.
- Customization: every boat is custom-built, so cabins, interiors and equipment can be tailored to how you sail.
The best way to decide is to visit the shipyard in Jacupiranga (São Paulo state) and see the boats up close. Contact the team to schedule a visit, including weekends and holidays.
