Performance and Drivability
At its core, the Axopar 38 remains an Axopar, a boat designed to drive exceptionally well. Built on a sharp, twin-stepped 22-degree V-hull by award-winning designer Jarkko Jämsén in collaboration with Axopar co-founder Jan-Erik Viitala, it offers world-class handling and exhilarating speeds of over 45 knots, powered by twin 300 hp or 350 hp outboards.
As Viitala explains:
“The No. 1 function of a boat should be that it drives and behaves well. Whatever Axopar is doing in the future will never compromise drivability. We focus on innovation, not gimmicks. The Axopar 38 is about boiling functionality down to its essence and making it work.”
With a fuel capacity of up to 830 litres, capacity for 14 people, and berths configured for 2 to 6 people, the Axopar 38 is as capable on extended journeys as it is on spontaneous day trips.
Key Features of the Axopar 38
The Axopar 38 range has been developed as a complete platform, meaning the core innovations carry across every model in the lineup. From the enhanced front cabin with increased beam and headroom, to improved sound insulation for a noticeably quieter ride, each Axopar 38 is built on the same advanced hull and structural foundation. Versatile bow configurations, adaptable aft spaces with seating or wet bar options, and the new folding activity platforms are all part of the shared DNA. No matter which 38 you choose, you benefit from the same next-generation design, performance, and usability that define the range.
Why Modularity Matters
DEFINE MODULAR BOAT – A modular boat is a vessel designed with interchangeable sections or layouts that can be configured to suit different activities and lifestyles. Instead of being locked into a fixed design, owners can choose from a range of modular options.
For Axopar, modularity is about enhancing quality and efficiency in production while giving boaters the freedom to customise their boat for every adventure. This means that one platform can be adapted to multiple uses, whether for family cruising, offshore exploration, watersports, or entertaining.

ABOUT AXOPAR
The Original Adventure Boat Company
Founded in Finland in 2014, Axopar has rapidly grown into the fastest-growing boat brand in its category, redefining what modern boating can be by pioneering the term "Adventure Boat". This “Adventure Boat” concept is about freedom without compromise: a single platform capable of offshore fishing one day, wakeboarding the next, exploring remote islands on a long-range cruise, or serving as a stylish superyacht tender. Today, Axopar boats are recognised globally as the benchmark for versatile, go-anywhere, do-anything powerboats.
The Axopar brand was co-founded by Jan-Erik Viitala, a marine industry leader with decades of experience in business development and brand building. From day one, Jan-Erik has worked alongside visionary naval architect Jarkko Jämsén, whose innovative approach to design has shaped Axopar’s distinctive identity. Jarkko is responsible for the famous twin-stepped hull with its sharp-entry bow and wide, spray-deflecting chines. This groundbreaking combination delivers outstanding stability, efficiency, and handling in all conditions, from calm bays to demanding offshore waters. Renowned for its fuel-efficient performance, the Axopar hull enables owners to venture further, explore more, and enjoy lower running costs, hallmarks of the adventure boating experience.
At its core, Axopar’s philosophy is simple: create adventure boats that are multi-functional, fuel-efficient, easy to own, and adaptable to different lifestyles. Every Axopar is designed to be modular, offering multiple layouts, protection options, and customisation features so owners can tailor their boat to their exact needs. When people think of Axopar, they think of innovative hull designs, Scandinavian craftsmanship, and uncompromising performance.
Whether it’s island-hopping in the Whitsundays, carving through Sydney Harbour at sunrise, anchoring off Rottnest Island for a weekend with friends, or venturing into New Zealand’s rugged coastal waters, Axopar boats are built to take you there, quickly, safely, and in comfort. This is adventure boating at its finest.

Unlike traditional day boats, Axopar blends the speed and thrill of a performance craft with the comfort and functionality of a cruiser. This means you can waterski in the morning, explore remote beaches in the afternoon, and enjoy a sunset cruise or even an overnight stay, all in the same boat.
