Thank you MBY for coming aboard the new MAKAI M37 and providing invaluable feedback. As our prototype (Hull #1), we truly value the insights gained from both the testing phase and the 5,000nm journey across the Mediterranean over the past few months. The first journey from Split to Palma for the Palma International Boat Show, was completed just days after launch, and taught us a great deal about the boat's performance on the water in a short time span. Many of the points identified after vigorous testing and customer/expert feedback have already been implemented in this hull and into our upcoming hulls that are in production. ☺

Major respect for driving the boat from Split to Palma right after launching 👌

They were last week at Cannes boat show and boat was very busy going on sea trials all the time. They fixed most of Hull 1 issue's, reduced noises, improved cruising speed and range by fitting new props and interceptors and boat looks and rides good.They were tested and nominated for multihull of the year award at MHW magasine. Apparently they already sold 5 boats and few of them will be with surface drives and foils are on drawing board. I Love the looks (It really is the only good looking power cat out there's) and hope to see more reviews. Thanks Alex for bringing new brands and fresh concepts like this to the public.

Is a remarkable yacht that redefines the concept of luxury cruising. Its exquisite design, combined with exceptional performance and unparalleled comfort, makes it a truly impressive vessel. I was particularly impressed by the M37's smooth ride and stability, even in choppy waters.

@boatlover12084 13 часов назад

I am surprised nobody is talking about the boat design, looks very sexy, especially considering it is a powercat.

@JonnyThompson-i6m 13 часов назад

This is what first drew me to this boat, I really love the design. previously the designs of powercats were the only thing holding me back from getting onboard with two hulls - despite knowing the benefits.

@boatlover12084 13 часов назад

@@JonnyThompson-i6m Yep exactly, the boat is great and the design really stands out. Seems the people in the comments are forgetting it is a prototype and are focused on points that are easily improvable rather than the whole concept of the boat - which is fantastic imo

@KresimirSecak 12 часов назад

This is the best looking powercat with huge space for 37ft and if they can improve some details it will be a winner in my opinion. It seems that they took Alex comments seriously since they are working on foils and this combined with surface drives will improve speed and range.Noise should be easy to fix.

@iancharlton678 23 часа назад

I think if I were a new company showing hull number one……. and I had MB&Y touring, I would have kerbed the loud drinking party until the tour was over…….. It must be fun to have your first boat at the show…….. but perhaps hold off on the piss-up till the shows closed for the night. I like the boat 🇬🇧🙂

@haddoksimon 13 часов назад

I managed to get aboard this catamaran at the Cannes Yachting Festival for a sea trial. I was hugely impressed by the cabins down below and the sea handelling in the choppy conditions we went out in. TBH I didn't notice the engine noise so maybe they have already made the improvements mentioned in the video. Very impressive boat!

@JonnyThompson-i6m 13 часов назад

I agree, there must have been work done since this video. I was very impressed with what I saw in Cannes.

@makaipowercats 13 часов назад

That's right! We headed to Palma just a few days after launching, and upon returning to Split, we gathered all the feedback and implemented changes to Hull #1, as well as our future builds. It was an invaluable learning experience that gave us deeper insights into the boat’s performance and highlighted key areas for improvement.

@powercatenthusiant50826 День назад

Looks great and the space on the boat is huge for a boat of that size, especially impressive for being hull1. Nice to see something different on the market, something refreshing in the growing power catamaran segment.

Great review Alex If they can reduce the noise and increase the range I’d say they’re onto a winner. I liked it!

@makaipowercats 14 часов назад

Thank you for the feedback, we are glad to say that we have reduced the noise of the engines and we have fitted new props and interceptors to improve the cruising speed and driving range (and we offer an extra diesel tank option) 😊

@MrDLYouTube День назад

A hybrid version would be amazing could easily fit a lot of solar panels on the roof, and perhaps an option to be able to enclose the area ala what Marex does. What a fun and feature rich boat! I was astonished by the cabin spaces! Wow!

@makaipowercats 14 часов назад

Thank you very much, we really appreciate it! We offer solars on the roof as an option and are currently exploring these other points that you mentioned 😀

Definitely noisy and poor range but I am sure they will take these criticisms on board and work to fix it. That being said I think this is a great design with a nice layout and I love the cabins. Great tour thank you.

@kristoffscuba5466 День назад

The beam doesn’t account for 41% of its length, it’s proportional to 41% of its length. Easy to make a slip of the tongue when filming so no problem. The noise and the (lack of) range would seem to be a problem though.

@nasosnasos8054 День назад

@maryholder3795 День назад

Interesting has got some good touches like storage. There are options for kitchen and seating. But I think they need to look at those options. Guest abins and the head are nice. Master cabin plenty of storage, good head room. She got promise and a good starter boat for a family first cat or charter. Engine versa nautical miles needs work on it. Plus needs more sound proofing, as you said. But again can 😢be sorted out. Like to see boat 2, to see what they can improve. 150 nautical mile ok for rivers and lakes, but not IMO as good range wise at sea.

@makaipowercats 14 часов назад

Thank you for all the valuable feedback. We designed this boat with families in mind, aiming to create a highly habitable starter vessel for its size. We're excited to be launching Hull #2 this week, and we’ve already made significant improvements to the areas you mentioned, both on Hull #1 and in our upcoming builds. Since Hull #1 was launched just days before heading to Palma, it provided an excellent opportunity to gather valuable feedback on the hull

@markshutt1476 День назад

I really want to like this boat, and mostly do. Noise and efficiency would keep me from owning it, but let's see what they do with that. I do like the layout, but would like to see them design in better helm visibility. I like the open fore deck, let's you do what you want with it. Having said all that, I'd still go with an Aquila, but think they can really make this competitive.
