Celebrating 100 Axopars
Just 4 short years ago Eyachts partner Dan Jones, travelled to Sweden to see a new boat called “Axopar.”
At this stage Axopar was a small company, just a year into production with the very first Axopar 28 range including; T-Top, Cabin and Open.
Dan, bursting with excitement got onto Peter and insisted they needed to investigate these interesting new boats further, so they went to Dusseldorf 2016 to get a closer look.
At the time, not much was known about this company but both Peter and Dan saw the potential…
“The aesthetics was what caught our eye first off, they were a cool looking boat. After hopping on board we could then tell these boats had some unique features including the seperate toilet and aft cabin, rare for a 28 footer. Of course, the cutting edge hull design was a major factor as it is the #1 thing we look for in a boat along with the engineering and solid construction.The fact that they had a low centre of gravity, low fuel consumption and incredible driving performance just stemmed off from that.
They were so well priced against everything else but with so much more to offer. It was different to anything else on the market. Initially no one thought this niche boat would be in such demand around the world, but when Axopar won so many design awards year after year all over the world on all its new models, the industry leaders stood up and congratulated this small company. Axopar is now producing up to 600 boats a year and turns over more than 60 mil euros, compared to 100 Axopar 28’s in 2015.
If you told someone back then that day boats would be as popular as they are now they wouldn’t have believed you. However, I could see that people would learn to love these type of boats, well before their time. I knew people would want the ease of maintenance and a versatile boat with the ability to go offshore whale watching, visit waterfront restaurants or simply enjoy time out of the water with the family whether you are fishing, wakeboarding or just anchored in a secluded bay or beach having a picnic and watching the world go by the Axopar offers something for everyone in a cool simplistic package….. I am so proud of how far Axopar have come so quickly and this is thanks to our proud but also very enthusiastic Axopar owners feedback and a young Axopar team that listens.” Peter Hrones

Axopar Owner Review: Four Boats Later, Here’s Why this Gold Coast Boater Keeps Coming Back
David and Melissa O’Connor, owners of an Axopar 37 Cross Cabin and now a four-time Axopar owners, have experienced just about every side of the brand. From two Axopar 28s to an Axopar 37 Sun Top and now the Cross Cabin, David says each boat has reinforced why he continues to choose Axopar for his family’s adventures on the Gold Coast.
“It’s an all weather boat, and it’s a fast boat. We can zip up to Tangalooma or Peel Island and go a little bit further than most Gold Coast boaties. It’s its ability to go fast and be economical, and I just love the look of it.”

Axopar 25 Review: Why This 25 Foot Boat Is the Perfect Adventure Companion
Connor, owner of an Axopar 25, has discovered that great adventures don’t require a big boat. From overnight stays and offshore whale watching to entertaining the largest crew at an owners event, the Axopar 25 has proven to be the perfect all-rounder for his lifestyle.
“The 25 is perfect. We can sleep on it, still fit plenty of people, and it’s probably one of the only boats I’ve had where you can take it out in messy conditions and everyone stays dry and comfortable. It’s the most versatile, perfect little boat for us.”
