Tested: Axopar 24 T-Top - (MBY November 2016)
“It’s a remarkably clever layout that strikes the perfect balance between useable dayboat and focused driving machine.”, “The combination of cutting-edge looks, a deep-vee hull, a sociable deck layout, exhilarating performance and attractive pricing has struck a chord with buyers the world over.”
What they loved about the Axopar 24 T-Top: "The cockpit layout works a treat with five supportive forward-facing seats aft of the helm, two of which swivel round to face a teak table that slots in the middle.", "The helm encapsulates that same ethos with excellent protection from the tall screen and optional T-Top, first-rate ergonomics courtesy of a tilting wheel and a perfectly placed armrest for working the throttles, plus a simple electronic dash.", "Somehow the low-slung bow stays clear of the waves, sending spray cascading away from the cockpit and letting the deeper mid sections slice through the crests with remarkable ease.", "The steering is perfectly weighted and direct, with sportscar-like 3.2 turns lock to lock."
Highlights: Clever cockpit layout, Excellent ride and handling, Open and Hard Top variants.
Other reviews & tests
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.
