2005 Fountaine Pajot Maryland 37
“HO-WA-HO”
Description
If you're shopping for a Mainship, Nordic Tug, American Tug, Ranger Tug, Camano, or other traditional Great Loop cruisers, you owe it to yourself to take a serious look at the Maryland 37. Her remarkable fuel economy, exceptional stability, expansive living space, and proven Great Loop capability make her one of the smartest cruising platforms ever built.
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.

2005 Fountaine Pajot Maryland 37- 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.
