Safari 37
Description
The Safari 37 is a heavy-displacement cruising yacht designed by Klaus Grohnert and built by Safari Marine in Costa Mesa, California from 1977 onwards. With only approximately 11 hulls ever produced, the Safari 37 remains a niche find on the brokerage market, often sought after by traditionalists who prioritize structural integrity and sea-kindliness over modern light-air performance. The vessel shares its DNA with the smaller and more common Safari 28, also a Grohnert design, which established Safari Marine's reputation for building "overbuilt" fiberglass boats during the height of the Southern California boat-building boom.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
