Makai Power Catamarans

M37 hard top, power and poise through form stability.

The MAKAI M37 is designed to make every minute on the water count. And every inch of the M37 is carefully considered to deliver excitement and cruising practicality. But it’s not just about taking care of the numbers: The MAKAI M37 delivers breath-taking looks, catamaran comfort and an unprecedented driving experience. It features two distinct and refined cabin spaces, with layouts suitable for cruising couples and families alike, and an enormous deck space fit to entertain 12. With the performance advantages of a catamaran, and making no sacrifices on style or comfort, the M37 is truly unique.

Catamaran form stability means the M37 is calm in rough conditions, and stable at anchor. So you and your guests will feel the tranquility of a much larger yacht. But this cat has claws: up to combined 740 horsepower, along with our new and unique super low-drag catamaran design, enables a 38-knot top speed–numbers normally reserved for 1000hp monohulls.

EFFICIENCY Catamaran efficiency makes the M37 incredibly quick and fun to drive–it also makes it maneuverable. Propellers are spaced farther apart than on a monohull–making them more efficient and providing greater twisting force when maneuvering in tight spaces. Add in joystick control and this boat is simple to drive, and even more simple to dock.

FULL-FEATURED AND FIT FOR PURPOSE Your boating time is ever-more valuable and we know that’s boaters are demanding more creature comforts on board. That’s why we fit inboard diesel engines and alternators to deliver all of the most important luxuries on our power catamarans–a full supply of hot water, air conditioning or heating. Our practical cruising galley offers hot drinks and great food with the refrigerator and storage space for a week-long adventure.

MAKAI has carefully designed mood lighting in the cabins, cockpit, and on the foredeck, to make the atmosphere on the M37 utterly relaxing. Optional C-Zone lighting control enables Day, Night, and Twilight modes, while the premium sound system and low engine noise through careful insulation keeps sound in step with lighting.

TWO VERSIONS Roof-covered boats provide protection from the elements for you, but also for the boat. Open versions are regularly far more exposed. That’s why MAKAI conducted exhaustive research into making the M37 OPEN Power Catamaran . We paid careful attention to the detail, and built it to last, with UV-protected materials, careful installation, and a helm layout that maximizes your fun in the sun.

MORE RELAXING The form stability mentioned earlier means the MAKAI M37 Power Catamaran is able to offer a great night’s sleep–so we focus on making the most of that by giving you a private, and luxurious cabin suitable for week-long adventures. Italian design and refined wood finishes make the interior inviting and comfortable for long stays.

UNIQUE IN ITS CLASS Unlike any other power catamaran in its class, the M37 has a full standing headroom in two beautiful staterooms. All have double beds, and for families there’s even the option of a double bed with additional singles for extra kids and guests. Each cabin has its own shower, sink and electric flush toilet.

For eco-conscious enthusiasts, the M37 offers options like solar panels and high-capacity Lithium Ion batteries, eliminating the need for lengthy engine runs solely for charging. Meanwhile, the CZone Control and Monitoring system replaces traditional switch and fuse panels with networked digital interfaces, granting you ultimate control over the boat's electrical systems.

Exquisite Craftsmanship: Makai M37's Artistry and Customization

Choice of Stern or Surface Drives

Revolutionary semi-asymmetric hull design: pioneering the future of power catamarans.

The Makai M37 introduces a groundbreaking semi-asymmetric hull design that ingeniously leverages air dynamics to create a high-pressure zone between the hulls and low pressure outside them, a unique hybrid innovation in the world of power catamarans. This remarkable Makai innovation significantly reduces fuel consumption and enhances top-end performance, setting new industry standards.

With the Air-Glide system serving as an efficient shock absorber, efficiency increases proportionally with speed, ensuring a stable ride even at high velocities. The Tunnel Extension extends the tunnel's operational space, providing added lift and countering the pitch effect of the stern drives. This innovative design not only offers a seamless transition from the catamaran's hulls to the swim deck but also eliminates resistance from prop wash and tunnel wake.

The New MAKAI M37 in Production

MAKAI Yachts has entered the power catamaran market with the new MAKAI M37 premium sports cruiser. Inspired by classic and modern supercars, and designed in Italy by Emanuele Rossi, the boat is under construction on the Adriatic coast in Croatia.

The MAKAI M37 has been developed from the ground-up by the team at MAKAI Yachts in collaboration with Italian sports boat designer Emanuele Rossi. This pairing has been many years in the making – finally seeing the MAKAI founders many years of industry experience combine with the iconic styling and luxurious flair of Rossi, resulting in a truly innovative, and luxurious, twin double-cabin catamaran that will perform just as well as it looks.

MAKAI have taken a unique approach, focusing on appealing to discerning customers who prioritise performance, ride comfort and fuel efficiency. The brand uses a unique semi-asymmetrical planing hull shape to achieve a catamaran capable of up to 40kts when pushed or a comfortable cruising speed in the mid-teens that will outperform any similar sized powerboat in respect of fuel consumption and ride comfort.

T he Founders and Designers Take on the MAKAI M37

“With the MAKAI M37, we are producing what we believe is a truly unique offering in the power catamaran platform. For example: we managed to integrate surface drive propulsion to achieve the maximum speed, fuel efficiency and reliability. The M37 has been developed to bring all the benefits of a performance power catamaran to people who would otherwise purchase a premium monohull. The M37 is a true performance cruiser, offering increased ride comfort, better fuel efficiency and a large, protected lounging area”.

Shane Grover Product Development and Operations Director, MAKAI Yachts Co-Founder

“In the past year we have had success in attracting some of the best boat distributors and dealers in the industry. These dealers bring expertise and support in some of the world’s most important markets. And, we have already pre-sold 7 MAKAI M37’s including one OPEN M37. We are now in full production mode in a new facility in Split, Croatia with goal to launch M37 Hull 1 this Summer and then ramp up production over time to start launching boats monthly by 2024. As we increase production capacity, we are actively looking to grow our worldwide distribution network and we are happy to confirm that the next available M37 delivery slots are from Q2 2024.”

Jay Nolan Sales & Marketing Director, MAKAI Yachts Co-founder

“The sportiness of the design is inspired by classically elegant sports cars. This interesting cohesion creates that fascinating harmony between elegance and masculinity, expressing sportiness with agility. It was important to find the perfect balance between the two worlds since the aim was to portray both sportiness, grittiness as well as elegance.”

Emanuele Rossi, MAKAI Yachts Designer
