Expert Review

The Makai M37 is a well-engineered power catamaran that delivers on its promise of performance and off-grid capability. Build quality, being a new fiberglass hull, is expected to be high, and a thorough survey will confirm fit and finish. The twin Yanmar 8LV370s are a proven, robust power plant, offering excellent reliability and a good turn of speed. The 'Hotel Mode' electrical system is a significant advantage, providing silent power and air conditioning without the noise and maintenance of a generator – a feature that truly sets it apart. While the absence of bow and stern thrusters might be a consideration for some, the joystick control system is generally effective for close-quarters maneuvering. Value for money is strong for a new vessel with this level of engineering and amenity. Comparable alternatives might include other sub-40ft power catamarans, but few will offer the integrated generator-free living solution of the M37. Focus survey attention on the integrity of the electrical system installation and sea trials to confirm joystick responsiveness.

At Makai Yachts, we believe that a true cruising catamaran should offer more than just exceptional performance—it should also deliver unmatched comfort, efficiency, and independence. That’s why we developed our advanced Hotel Mode electrical system, designed specifically for life at sea, without the noise and hassle of a generator.

Engineered with the modern off grid catamaran lifestyle in mind, this system ensures quiet, reliable, and self-sufficient onboard power. Whether you’re anchoring in a remote bay or enjoying a marina-free weekend, Hotel Mode enables full luxury living without compromise.

The M37 is equipped with two powerful Yanmar 8LV370 diesel engines, each delivering an impressive 370 horsepower, allowing for a cruising speed of 24 knots, perfect for exhilarating adventures. Designed for comfort, the catamaran features two well-appointed cabins and two heads, providing ample space for relaxation. The inclusion of joystick control enhances maneuverability, making docking and navigation a breeze. An electric windlass adds convenience when anchoring, ensuring you can enjoy your time on the water with ease. 

For modern off grid catamaran owners, control and awareness are key. That’s why the entire Hotel Mode system is fully integrated with the CZone digital switching platform—a central hub that lets you monitor and manage your yacht’s electrical systems with ease.


From the intuitive CZone touchscreen display, owners can view real-time battery levels, power consumption, charging status, and switch onboard systems with a tap.

The Hotel Mode system is more than a convenience—it’s a cornerstone of Makai’s commitment to sustainable, intelligent yacht design. By removing the need for a diesel generator, reducing emissions, and leveraging engine-generated charging, we deliver an onboard experience that is:

  • Quieter
  • Greener
  • Simpler to maintain
  • More enjoyable for long-term cruising

Whether you’re exploring far-off islands or simply enjoying a quiet anchorage, this is the power solution that lets your cruising catamaran go farther, stay longer, and live better.


As a leading builder of next-generation power catamarans, Makai Yachts combines sleek design, innovative engineering, and real-world usability. Our advanced Hotel Mode system embodies our mission: to create vessels that allow owners to cruise farther, live quieter, and explore confidently—on or off the grid.

So whether you dream of long weekends off-grid, silent nights at anchor, or sustainable cruising through untouched waters, Makai’s Hotel Mode system delivers the independence, performance, and peace of mind today’s owners demand.

The Makai M37 is a perfect blend of luxury and functionality, ready to take you on unforgettable journeys across the waves.
