Makai Yachts has confirmed the market introduction of the revolutionary M37 GTS, a 37-foot power catamaran engineered with advanced foiling technology and surface drive propulsion system to deliver advanced performance and unparalleled fuel efficiency.

The M37 GTS sets itself apart by integrating a proprietary low-drag, air-cushioned catamaran hull form that significantly improves stability and reduces drag compared to traditional planing hulls. This allows the vessel, powered by twin 370 hp Yanmar diesels, to achieve performance figures previously reserved for much larger, less efficient monohulls.

"The M37 GTS is built for the new generation of cruiser who refuses to compromise between performance and comfort," said Shane Grover, Director and Co-Founder of Makai Yachts. "We've leveraged high-tech foiling principles to create a boat that not only looks stunning but is dramatically more efficient and stable, making it a true game-changer in the 35-40 foot market segment."

The vessel features a versatile two-cabin layout with two heads and a spacious, highly-appointed cockpit designed for entertaining up to 12 guests. The integration of joystick control and a shallow draft (0.55m / 1'9" with drives up) ensures superior maneuverability and access to shallow anchorages.

The Makai M37 GTS will be available for viewing at the upcoming Olympic Yacht Show in Greece from 9th - 12th October 2025.
