Some may view this decision as bold or even daring. However, the MAKAI team is confident that its debut model is not only luxurious and high-performing but also durable and sturdy enough to traverse the entire Mediterranean shortly after its launch. Our journey was filled with rough seas, especially during the passage from Sardinia to Mahon, where the waves were up to 3.5 meters. The journey may have been rough, but our commitment to excellence extends beyond surface-level features, as the MAKAI M37 has proven durability thanks to its high-quality build and finishes. This journey would not have been possible without our Spanish partner and CEO of Setsail World, Alfredo Pellicer Perez, Makai Yachts chairman, owner of hull 1 and UK dealer, Tom Whitby, Antoine Richer, naval architect and founder of Bains Froids Rocean, as well as our director and co-founder, Shane Grover.

The Palma International Boat Show was strategically chosen as the launch destination for the M37 due to its increasing popularity for motorboats, its excellent tropical location, and timing just before the Mediterranean nautical season. We believe this makes it the ideal venue for the M37 to showcase its capabilities.

Following the show, the M37 is on its journey back to Split via the same route and will arrive in Split, where it will undergo two weeks of rigorous testing by journalists and prospective clients. If you are interested to test the boat from May 15-25th, or visit us in Venice, please kindly reach out to [email protected]

Once the testing phase is complete, the M37 will set its course for the Venice Boat Show from May 29th to June 2nd, 2024, where it will once again take center stage. Held in the iconic city of Venice, Italy, this event offers a unique opportunity for boat enthusiasts to witness the M37 in action against the backdrop of one of the world’s most picturesque cities.
