Fountaine Pajot's first Motor Yacht. Award-winning compact power catamaran from 2015 to 2020. Strong used market for buyers wanting an FP powercat under 40 feet.
The MY 37 was Fountaine Pajot's first Motor Yacht, launching the brand's power catamaran range in 2015. Designed by Daniel Andrieu, the MY 37 was an award-winning debut that established the FP Motor Yacht aesthetic — full-length wraparound saloon glazing, generous cockpit, and the proportions of a much larger flybridge yacht in a compact package.
Production ran from 2015 to 2020 with the MY 37 indirectly replaced by the smaller MY4.S. The MY 37 found a specific niche: buyers wanting a true catamaran-platform powerboat in the under-40-foot bracket, with the stability and interior volume catamarans deliver but at a price point well below the larger MY 44 and MY6.
On the resale market in 2026, MY 37 inventory is dominated by 2015–2018 hulls coming through their first owner-changeover cycles. Most are in good condition — the MY 37 attracted owners rather than charter operators, so engine hours tend to be lower than equivalent-age sailing FPs. The boat's main constraint is interior volume — at 11m, it's smaller than the MY 44 by a meaningful margin.
Specifications are manufacturer figures for a base specification MY 37. Individual boats vary based on year, equipment, and owner modifications. Always verify against the specific boat's documentation during survey.
The MY 37 is offered in multiple layouts. Choosing between them is the most important decision in a MY 37 purchase, and meaningfully affects price, resale, and how the boat actually lives.
Both hulls split into two cabins each with two heads. Sleeps 8. The single primary layout — no separate Maestro/charter distinction. Best suited to families and weekending, with saloon-deck galley and full-beam cockpit. Volvo D3 engines deliver 18–22 knot cruising speed.
The MY 37 is rare in formal charter fleets — its size and tankage suit private use. Some have been used for skippered day charters and short-term coastal charters, but the model is far more common in private ownership than the larger MY 44 or MY6.

Browse all Fountaine Pajots →Volvo D3 engines have specific service requirements. Verify full service history; budget €4,000–€8,000 for major service if overdue. Engines are robust but service-dependent.
Powercats see harder use under power than sailing cats. Inspect bottom for stress around engine mounts and hull-deck joint. Any prior groundings worth investigating professionally.
MY 37's wraparound saloon glazing is a signature feature but requires perimeter seal maintenance. UV degradation on seals is common after 8+ years; replacement is €2,000–€4,000 per panel.
Standard 240L fresh water is genuinely tight even for weekending. Most MY 37 owners have added auxiliary tankage. Verify upgrade quality and capacity if planning extended use.
Volvo D3 efficiency holds up in real-world use, but verify against owner's actual records. 600L tankage is workable for coastal use but doesn't support extended cruising.
2015–2020 era electronics are mid-life. Many MY 37s have had partial refits; verify chartplotter age, autopilot condition, and AIS integration. Full refit budget if needed is €6,000–€14,000.
Used MY 37 prices typically range from €220k for an early 2015–2016 example, up to €450k for a 2019–2020 model with recent refit work. The MY 37 represents the cheapest entry into the used Fountaine Pajot Motor Yacht range.
No — the MY 37 was discontinued in 2020 and indirectly replaced by the MY4.S (smaller, 2021–2025). All MY 37s on the market are used.
With twin Volvo D3-220 engines, the MY 37 cruises at 18–22 knots and tops out around 24–26 knots. With smaller D3-150 engines, cruising speed is 16–18 knots. Fuel consumption at 18-knot cruise is approximately 35–45 L/h total.
The MY 37 was sold primarily in a single 4-cabin layout with two heads. Both hulls split into two cabins each, with the saloon-deck galley above. Sleeps 8.
Yes — couples often use MY 37s as weekenders or short-trip cruisers. The 4-cabin layout works well even with just two onboard, providing flexibility for guests. The boat's catamaran stability is particularly valued by couples coming from monohulls.
Limited by tankage. Standard 600L fuel and 240L water restrict the MY 37 to coastal cruising and short passages. With tankage upgrades, longer passages become feasible but the boat is fundamentally a coastal cruiser.
