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.

Designed to do some serious adventuring.

In terms of driveability, the 29 is unquestionably elite, and its performance comes from an energy-efficient approach compared to its competitors.

The 29 XC has a relatively spacious cabin for its size. Three adults can fit comfortably on the aft bench and there is a passenger and driver's seat.

What these boats are really made for, is cruising at speed. We're going anywhere between 35-40 knots and it just cuts through so beautifully.

The Axopar 29 is a universally usable, fast and beautiful boat that sets standards in terms of performance, safety, comfort.

The inviting space on deck, specifically its multiple functions, is the second plank in Axopar’s global success.

A knifelike hull with a crowd-pleasing layout.

With careful design, the Axopar team have created more space than you will ever want or need for any family and friends.

It’s a remarkably comfortable boat, and surprisingly functional.

The new Axopar 45 runs as fast as a weasel and is as comfortable as a holiday home. We drove it before the premiere.

She's a sporty handling boat, with exceptional drivability.

Axopar 22 Revolve is perfect for water skiing, wakeboarding and water toys, but also as a tender or day boat.

Like the its bigger sister Axopar 37, the Axopar 28 Cabin has refinements that distinguish the soul of the shipyard.

There is one thing that I am sorry about, that you can’t be here with me at the moment, because this is an incredible boat.

Out of the companies we’ve come across, they are probably on the top end of that when you see the amount of research and development that goes into their products.

The way you really feel the Axopar-DNA is the way this thing goes across the water

Like the major models 28 and 37, this 22 also amazes... the Axopar DNA is clearly present, confirming the sporting character, and definitely modern.

”As you look at this helm, this is a helm built for a race car driver…it’s got a beautiful dashpod here, fabric finishes, gorgeous suede steering wheel and grab handle”

In tight turns this hull grips like a roller coaster curve at full speed, while transmitting the best sensations of safety.

"Great effort has been put into creating driving comfort, driving pleasure and safety in a comfortable combination..."

Once the moorings have been cast off, a feeling of ease immediately takes over. The boat seems light, the hull glides easily without pushing water...

The 22 Spyder is a small boat but it has big boat features like deep walkaround decks and a heads compartment incorporated inside the centre console.

On their visit to Helsinki, Powerboat & RIB magazine produced several in-depth episodes from the launch event.

Built on a template, there are variations to the layout and construction theme - more than enough to cater for the different needs this boat is likely to serve.

Axopar 37 is definitely one of the fastest and most classy boats on Lake Geneva. Nevertheless, you always feel safe and in good hands on board.

It’s so comfortably cruising up to 50 knots, it’s almost laughable

...the Mk2 version of Axopar’s 28 has an entirely new hull! So popular has it been, with around 1,000 built since it launched in 2014, that the moulds were simply wearing out, so it made perfect sense to revamp the hull in line with the mould replacement.

Not only was the 37 seaworthy, its tracking and handling were exceptional. Like Boating for Dummies exceptional. Like where-has-this-been-all-my-life exceptional.

To say the original was successful is an understatement… delighted every journo who had a go behind the wheel. How on earth do you improve that? By talking to to the people who have one, of course.

...when we got the test boats out in less than ideal weather, we were hooked. Simply stated, we’ve never been on such superb handling boats. They turn on a dime with an excellent combination of grip and stern slide that brings them around with zero prop ventilation. Offshore, they can handle the worst conditions that kept us going even when so many other boats were running for cover. In short, there’s a new standard of handling and comfort…. Axopar.

...we have no difficulty cruising at full throttle - almost 50 knots - in conditions that would leave most people with common sense at home

Lightning fast, stable and super light.

That was incredible... really remarkable... I’ve never seen a boat turn like that.

You can take this Axopar out, load it with kayaks, paddleboards, mountainbikes, and just immerge in the full experience wherever they decide to land and spend their day.
