Axopar 29 XC Cross Cabin – The Ultimate 29 Foot Offshore Adventure Boat
Experience the Next Generation of the adventure boating
The Axopar 29 XC Cross Cabin represents the next evolution of adventure boating, built on a decade of innovation and customer feedback. Designed by Jarkko Jämsén of Navia Design in collaboration with Jan-Erik Viitala, the Axopar 29 XC carries forward the legendary DNA of the Axopar 28 while introducing improved ergonomics, refined comfort, and enhanced offshore capability.
This 29 foot boat redefines modularity and all-weather performance, the Axopar 29 XC delivers year-round enjoyment for Australian boaters, especially those navigating Sydney’s coastal and inland waters.
Bow – Redesigned for Social Comfort
The bow of the Axopar 29 Cross Cabin has been completely re-engineered for comfort and versatility. The beam now carries further forward, creating a more flared bow and expanded deck space. Seating easily accommodates six adults around a table that can be configured in multiple ways – U-shaped, L-shaped, dual positioned table or a full sunbed when the table is lowered.
New quick-release latches offer effortless access to lockers, and there’s abundant storage for ropes, anchor gear, and picnic supplies. Optional bow sunshades allow you to relax in comfort even under the midday Australian sun.
Bow Cabin – Smart Versility and Comfort
Below the forward deck lies a multi-functional cabin, adaptable as a double berth, toilet compartment, or large storage locker. The Axopar 29 XC’s modular approach means you can tailor this space to your lifestyle – whether it’s a sleeping area for weekend escapes or dedicated storage for water toys and fishing gear.
High-quality materials, air ventilation, LED lighting, and marine-grade finishes make this a surprisingly spacious and premium retreat for a 29 foot boat.
Stern – Modular Layout Choices
At the stern, owners can choose from three main layouts:
- A standard aft bench with under-seat storage.
- A wetbar setup with sink, fridge, and prep space.
- Or the ever-popular aft cabin, offering a full queen-size bed and top-side sunbed.
For adventure seekers, roof racks, rod holders, and water-ski frames can be added, making the Axopar 29 XC one of the most versatile offshore boats on the market.
Pilot House – All-Weather Protection
The enclosed pilot house is what sets the Cross Cabin apart from the Sun Top and CCX variants of the Axopar 29. Large panoramic windows, sliding doors, and a smooth one-level floor provide 360-degree visibility and exceptional airflow when opened.
During winter, it offers full protection from wind and spray, perfect for year-round boating in Sydney and other Australian coastal regions. Despite choppy seas, the cabin remains quiet, refined, and rattle-free, showcasing Axopar’s superior construction quality.
Helm – Designed for Confidence
The helm of the Axopar 29 XC exemplifies Axopar’s commitment to driver-centric design. Every control is intuitively positioned: bow thruster, throttle, Simrad dual screens, and trim tabs are all within easy reach.
Multiple driving positions allow comfort for every condition, seated with a bolster, perched high for visibility, or standing with feet planted. The steering ergonomics and wide sightlines provide outstanding control and confidence, whether navigating busy harbours or pushing offshore at speed.
Performance – Offshore Capability and Efficiency
Built for performance, the Axopar 29 XC maintains the same proven twin-stepped hull design that made the Axopar name famous. With twin 200 hp V6 Mercury outboards, it reaches speeds close to 48 knots, while the single 400 hp, 350 or 300 options offer impressive efficiency and simplicity.
For a 29 foot offshore boat, the ride is remarkably smooth and dry. The flared hull pushes spray out and down, ensuring visibility and comfort even in rough conditions.
