About

There are very few boats that truly redefine what it means to be an efficient cruising yacht. The Fountaine Pajot Maryland 37 is one of them.

Designed by one of the world's most respected catamaran builders, the Maryland 37 combines the stability, fuel efficiency, and redundancy of a power catamaran with the comfort and livability of a much larger trawler. The result is a yacht that has earned an outstanding reputation among experienced cruisers and Great Loop veterans alike.

Ho-Wa-Ho isn't simply another Maryland 37—she's a Gold Loop boat that has already proven exactly what she's capable of. Having successfully completed America's Great Loop, she's ready for her next adventure.

The current owners averaged an incredible 2.88 nautical miles per gallon during their Loop. That's the kind of efficiency that changes the way you cruise. Instead of worrying about fuel stops or operating costs, you'll spend more time enjoying the journey.

One of the first things you'll notice aboard Ho-Wa-Ho is the incredible salon. Surrounded by large windows offering nearly 360 degrees of visibility, the salon feels remarkably open and bright. Whether underway or relaxing at anchor, you'll enjoy panoramic views while remaining comfortably protected from the weather.

Unlike many cruising boats under forty feet, the Maryland offers three private staterooms and two heads, providing exceptional flexibility for family, guests, grandchildren, or simply additional storage during extended cruising.

Powered by twin 160 HP Yanmar diesel engines, Ho-Wa-Ho comfortably cruises in the mid-teens while retaining the efficiency that has made the Maryland legendary. Need to outrun weather or make a longer run? She'll reach approximately 17-18 knots when needed.

The current owners invested in upgrades that make this boat especially attractive for today's cruiser. A 300Ah Relion lithium battery bank, 730 watts of solar, and a Victron 3000W MultiPlus inverter/charger dramatically reduce generator run time while increasing onboard comfort and independence.

Docking and anchoring are equally enjoyable thanks to Garmin electronics, AIS, autopilot, a Fusion stereo, Maxwell HRC10 windlass, Ultra 43 anchor with 200 feet of chain, and an electric davit winch that makes launching and retrieving the tender almost effortless.

Having spent time aboard this vessel, it's easy to understand why the owners speak so highly of her. They loved the incredible stability, spacious salon, panoramic visibility, and confidence the catamaran platform inspires in rough water. While many boats require compromise, Ho-Wa-Ho delivers comfort, efficiency, and capability in one exceptionally well-designed package.

If you've been waiting for a proven Great Loop cruiser that's equally comfortable exploring the Great Lakes, the ICW, the Bahamas, or your favorite local waters, Ho-Wa-Ho deserves serious consideration.

Why Buy a Maryland 37?

There are plenty of trawlers on the market.

There are very few boats that can offer this is a 37′ package:

  • Nearly 3 nautical miles per gallon
  • Three staterooms
  • Two heads
  • Catamaran stability
  • Twin diesel redundancy
  • 17-18 knot top speed
  • 16’8″ bridge clearance
  • Proven Great Loop capability
  • Spacious 360° salon
  • Comfortable operation in a wide range of sea conditions

For many experienced cruisers, the Maryland 37 represents one of the smartest cruising platforms ever built.

Broker’s Remarks

Finding a Maryland 37 is uncommon. Finding one that’s already completed the Great Loop, has a modern lithium/solar electrical system, recent 1,000-hour engine service, and has been thoughtfully upgraded for long-range cruising is even rarer.

If your goal is to spend less time worrying about fuel and systems—and more time enjoying the places your boat can take you—Ho-Wa-Ho deserves a place at the top of your list.

Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.

— David Anderson

The Multihull Company made the process of buying our boat easy and predictable. Both our agent (Francisco Montaner) and Andrew Holland communicated well and educated/informed us of each step in the process. I highly recommend The Multihull Company for those shopping for a catamaran!

— Jeffrey Bredeson

Chuck at The Multihull Company is the real deal.
He helped us find our Lagoon 40 after genuinely listening to what we needed, not just what he had to sell. He let us visit the boat multiple times, answered every question honestly, and helped us make a confident decision on a major purchase.
What impressed us most was the post-sale support. Once the paperwork was signed, Chuck was still picking up the phone, offering referrals, and helping us work through the early stages of liveaboard life. That kind of follow-through is rare.
If you are looking for a multihull and want someone who knows the boats and actually cares about the outcome, Chuck is the person to call.

— Richard Chandler

We just purchased a 2025 Nautitech 44 Open with The Multihull Company. The process of getting here has been great, and we could not have asked for a better agent. We worked with Conor, whom we met at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show. We started our search for a cruising catamaran in Florida at the beginning of the year. We spent a couple of months looking at different boats/models within our price range and quickly narrowed it down to what really mattered to us, in part thanks to the wealth of knowledge and expertise our broker provided. When we found a perfect match in Montenegro, Conor and The Multihull Company did not hesitate to continue supporting us and to lead the efforts from start to finish with great care and transparency. Communication and support have been outstanding throughout this entire process. Conor, in particular, showed great compassion and care, going above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that we would be able to safely and happily sail off into our big adventure.

— Jason Nunn

A sale well handled. No inflated expectations and an honest opinion throughout. Highly recommended.
