The twin-hulled Makai 37 is a new build from Croatia that outpunches her weight with a creative layout and sizzling performance.
Makai was founded in 2019 in the coastal Croatian city of Split by two entrepreneurs who wanted to build a boat that matched scintillating performance with sensible layouts. The combination, they hoped, would be a vessel that boaters would fall for. With half a decade of building and selling boats in Europe under its belt, Makai is now making a concerted push into the American market—South Florida in particular. The builder sees its 37—which has ample volume, a seaworthy hull, a range up to 700 miles—as an excellent weekender that is capable of crossing the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas (and perhaps even south to the Caribbean if one is feeling ambitious).
