The Makai Yachts M37 is a 37-foot luxury power catamaran that blends performance, comfort, and innovative design in a compact yet capable package. Designed with Italian flair and a focus on efficiency, the M37 combines spacious living areas and advanced marine technology.
Measuring about 11.4 m (37 ft) with a broad 4.64 m (15’2”) beam, the M37 offers an unusually roomy interior for its class, including two large cabins each with en-suite heads and generous natural light and headroom typically found on much larger yachts. Its expansive cockpit comfortably seats up to 12 people, making it ideal for entertaining or family cruising.
A standout feature is Makai’s Air-Glide hull system, a low-drag tunnel design that draws air between the hulls to create a cushioning effect. This reduces slamming in chop, enhances fuel efficiency, and improves ride comfort—a key point for both offshore and coastal passages.
Power is provided by twin inboard Yanmar diesels (standard 320 hp or optional 370 hp), giving the M37 brisk performance with top speeds around 35–38 knots while maintaining economical cruising. Advanced electronics such as CZone digital switching and optional joystick control simplify handling, and the Kevlar-reinforced bows allow the catamaran to beach safely in shallow spots.
Overall, the M37 delivers a rare combination of stability, style, speed, and livability for a vessel of its size, appealing to both seasoned boaters and newcomers seeking a versatile luxury cruiser.
