Tested: Axopar 37 ST – (Powerboat & RIB Magazine – issue 147 May 2018)
“The ride from the hull is remarkably smooth”, “The boat responds well to the wheel – quick to steer but sure-footed in the process”
What they loved about the Axopar 37 ST: Great handling, Soft-riding hull, Rapid performance, Solid build quality, Practicality/safety, Easy movement on deck, Good weather protection. “Axopar’s twin step hulls are notoriously good, generating more hydrodynamic lift at the stern than a conventional planning hull.”, “Throwing it into full-power, full-lock turns, the boat just grips and tracks round, without a hint of hull slide“, “The seating set-up enjoys plenty of protection from the elements from the long roof, especially as the hull provides a dry ride.”, “The forecabin is bigger than you expect, as it makes full use of every inch of depth”.
Verdict: Few boats offer such a smooth ride and such an easy point and shoot driving experience as the Axopar 37 Sun-Top. It is cleverly designed and well thought out, with close attention to detail – even behind the scenes. On top of this, it has the ability to sleep four in two separate cabins. On the surface, it may appear to be just another high-octane superyacht tender, but it is also a credible cruiser in its own right.

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.
