The ‘triple award-winning’ Axopar 28 has redefined the affordable sports boat market by offering customers a boat that is not only stylish, but fun and exciting to drive, well put together, with modular deck and accommodation spaces and a very good price/performance ratio in class.

Axopar have brought about an extensive facelift design for the Axopar 28 / 2018 model year, following three years’ worth of valuable feedback from existing A-28 owners.

Intended to maintain our competitive edge and keep attracting new customers, this is a ‘world boat’ that will see the same Axopar 28 Open, T-Top and Cabin versions being offered across our 60-strong dealer network, across 30 counties and five continents.

Without tampering with the boat’s essential DNA and core values, customers already familiar with the outgoing model will immediately notice that every detail they can see, touch and feel about the all new Axopar 28 has been improved.

Axopar have increased the stakes in terms of quality and engineering, such that every shape and curvature has been honed to perfection with an extensive re-think of our modular construction. Everything from the hull stringers, transom, engine mounting etc has been revised and will be stronger and stiffer, with an enhanced level of fit & finish than ever before.

An extensive weight analysis programme ensured the target weight for the new boat has remained the same as the previous model (example: 28 T-Top weight 1790kg ex engines).

For added stability and improved balance, the hull has been scaled by 1.5%, equating to slightly longer length overall (increased by 13cm) and wider beam (increased by 5cm) and for greater passenger comfort inside the cockpit, the hull sides have been raised by 8cm and the deck level by 4cm respectively.

All A-28 model types, even including our Open cockpit boats, are upgraded to Category B Offshore for up to 6 persons and built to a high standard as certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and the new more stringent CE directive in Europe.

Our new, ultra-modern, lean and efficient production facility in Poland has been underway for 9 months now and as much as the product design & quality itself has improved, manufacturing build times have reduced and we are already seeing our boats produced to an even higher quality level than before. An amazing statistic is the fact we are already producing one new Axopar 37 boat every day, and must surely be one of only a very few boat builders who can make this claim within this size range…!
