Tested: Axopar 28 T-Top - (Powerboat & RIB Magazine Issue 132 May 2016)
“When you consider what you are getting for your money, the Axopar 28TT is a no-brainer for the wind-in-your-hair powerboater.”, “True to Scandinavian form, the Axopar is no less impressive when it comes to functionality and practicality.”, “She is capable of incredibly tight sure-footed turns, with her stepped hull showing not the slightest intention of losing the plot.”
What they loved about the Axopar 28 T-Top: Great seakeeping and handling, Rapid performance, Solid build quality, Practicality/safety, Easy movement on deck, Good weather protection.
Verdict: Scandinavian boats in many ways are like German cars – distinctly solid and irresistible to those with practical taste. The GRP-built Axopar 28TT, like the recent plethora of fast offshore craft hailing from the Baltic, has radical and aggressive styling. Rightly this yard, like many from the region, has calculated that its boats will prove equally popular alongside the comparatively conservative boats of southern Europe. When you consider what you are getting for your money, the Axopar 28TT is a no-brainer for the wind-in-your-hair powerboater. If you want something different to the 28TT, there is also a cabin version and a totally open boat.
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.
