Ultimate Sports Boats super test. Tested: Axopar 28 OC + Draco 27RS, XO 250 and Paragon Ranger 25 - (MBY May 2015 issue)
“When it comes down to the wire, the Axopar stands out as the most talented all-rounder of the bunch, and combines many of the best elements of the other three boats without ever feeling bland or compromised.”
What they loved about the Axopar 28 OC: “This OC version, with its excellent deck design, flawless seakeeping, punchy performance and surprisingly comfortable aft cabin and heads compartment is the cheapest boat here by quite a distance”, “The Axopar handled the rough stuff brilliantly”, “The driving environment is excellent thanks to first-class ergonomics and a perfect view out no matter if you’re sitting in the firm, supportive helm seats or using the bolster function and leaning”.

Fast but safe. Open but sheltered. Spacious but cruise-friendly. Is there anything the Axopar 45 Cross Top can’t do?
This was one of the most fun and capable center consoles I’ve ever driven. Axopar should have a hit—in a new niche—on its hands.
In terms of driveability, the 29 is unquestionably elite, and its performance comes from an energy-efficient approach compared to its competitors.
