Axopar 37 Cabin Review: The First Axopar Owner in Western Australia Shares His Story

Jeremy was the first Axopar 37 Cabin owner in Western Australia, taking a leap of faith on a boat that wasn’t available locally at the time. Since then, his Axopar has become central to both his family life and business, from taking his kids on their first boating adventures to sharing the lifestyle with his staff.
“I took a bit of a risk buying this boat, there weren’t any in Perth. I bought it based on online reviews, then flew to Queensland to test drive one and it totally exceeded my expectations. I was blown away by how well it handled. I’ve had a few boats before, but their handling was unpredictable. With the Axopar, you know exactly what it’s going to do, which gives you confidence, my wife feels far more confident on this boat than any we’ve had before. It’s super soft riding, super dry, and a fantastic day boat. My boys all learned to drive on it. We take it offshore to Dunsborough once a year and cruise at 30 knots with no issue. And I even take my staff out on it, it’s something they’d never normally get to experience. This boat has given us lifestyle, adventure, and community, it’s just brilliant.”

Supported From Sydney to Rottnest – A Community Built by Eyachts – Jasmyn

Jasmyn and her late husband Pete have had a strong relationship with the Eyachts team from the start.
“Eyachts has been amazing. Pete, worked closely with Peter Hrones and Brendon Grieves from Eyachts. There’s no other dealership that does what they do.
When the boat arrived in Perth, the team joined us on a trip to Rottnest with a two other boats, now there are over 40 in WA. Eyachts made us feel like a community right from the start,” explains Jasmyn.

Why She Kept the Boat After Loss– A Female Skipper’s Axopar 37 Sun Top Review – Jasmyn

After losing her husband, Jasmyn Wright took the helm of their Axopar 37 Sun Top, a boat he had carefully chosen for the family. Now a solo female skipper, Jasmyn continues to use the boat with her adult children for weekend getaways, water sports, and time together on the WA coast.
“I drive it, I berth it, I feel really safe, even in the unpredictable WA wind. It’s comfortable, it handles well, and it gives me the confidence to get out there on my own. We ski, we snorkel, we stay overnight, we even take it to Mandurah for the holidays. It really does everything. That’s why I say it’s the perfect boat for WA life. Honestly, I wouldn’t give this up for anything.”
“We’ve had boats before that got tossed and turned everywhere, but with the Axopar’s hull design, it just cuts through the water. You feel so much more stable and in control,” added son Kyle.

Why They Chose Eyachts (Twice) – Heather and Graeme

For Heather and Graeme, the experience of buying their Axopar was just as impressive as the boat itself, and it’s why they returned to Eyachts for their next purchase. “Eyachts just look after you so well,” says Graeme. “We bought our Axopar 24 through them years ago, and more recently a new Greenline, and both times the experience has been incredibly smooth. The team is friendly, professional, and nothing is ever too much trouble.”

Best Small Offshore Boat: Why They Love Their Axopar for Every Adventure – Heather and Graeme

Heather and Graeme’s Axopar is more than just a boat, it’s their go-to for surfing, crayfishing, fishing, and tendering. After years on the water in WA, they say this compact adventure boat does everything they need.
“It’s such a versatile boat, we use it for crayfishing, fishing, surfing, and even as a tender to our bigger boat. There are bunks and a toilet for the kids, it’s safe and comfortable in swell, and it does 45 knots. We just love it.”

The Ultimate Sports Boat for WA Waters: Axopar 28 Cabin Review – David and Jackie

David and Jackie Rafferty from Perth were after a sports boat that could handle WA’s challenging conditions with speed, safety, and comfort, and they found exactly that in the Axopar 28 Cabin.
“It’s the best boat for WA conditions, which are pretty testing at the best of times. It doesn’t matter if there’s a strong sea breeze coming. We’ve come home in 25-knot southwesterlies and the boat was really comfortable. Everyone stays dry and safe. We just close the upwind door and leave the downwind one open, still get great airflow, but stay protected. The living space is like a Swiss Army knife of a boat. Everything turns into something else. It does the job really, really well.” – says David
“It’s like a sports car on water. We love how fast it goes and how smooth it is. It’s so versatile for day trips and overnighting.” – says Jackie.

Versatile, Reliable, and Just Fun: A Real Owner’s Mandurah Axopar 28 T-Top Review

Rob Hammond lives in Mandurah, Western Australia, and uses his Axopar 28 T-Top for everything from estuary dolphin cruises to offshore solo adventures to Rottnest.
“I’ve had boats for most of my working life. These are just phenomenal,” Rob says. “They’re absolutely fabulous in the sea. I use it quite a bit on my own — it’s really easy to manhandle. She’s so versatile, you can just do anything. I often go dolphin watching in the estuary. My wife loves it too because you’ve got full access all the way around. And you can still sleep on it in the cabin.”

Is the Axopar 37 Cross Cabin the Best Family Day Boat in Australia? – John

John, Axopar 37 Cross Cabin owner from Perth, says,
“I’ve got a family of three, twin girls who are seven and a nine-year-old, and it’s just the ideal family day boat. It’s very typical in the afternoon here to have strong southwesterlies, 15 to 20 knots. The kids get a bit cool, so I chose the Cross Cabin. It gives them protection, they have fun all day with the water toys, then come in to warm up, have something to eat, maybe rest on the daybed. It just allows us to have a full day of enjoyment without whiny kids at 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Mum and Dad are really happy too. We love our Axopar, it’s a great boat, a lot of fun, and ideal for Perth.”

The Best 37 Foot Boat? Axopar 37 Cross Cabin Owner Nikki Durden

Two time Eyachts Owner’s Exceptional Experience – Nikki and Matt Durden

Two time Eyachts owner Nikki emphasized, “From the start, we felt so looked after. It’s a very personal experience, not just a transaction. What Peter has built with Eyachts is great—it’s a family-type environment where you feel like a valued owner, not just a number. Every step of the process was seamless and well-communicated. We were given a clear timeline and kept updated the whole way. If we ever had a concern or request, it was handled immediately. We couldn’t be happier.
What was really nice about buying the Axopar was that it felt like a bespoke boat for us. It wasn’t just off the production line—Eyachts helped us tailor it to exactly what we wanted, and nothing was too hard.”

Axopar 37 Owner Story – Andrew

“I love the speed, the stability and, being an accountant, the fuel economy. I have zipped all over Pittwater at 30 knots sipping only 80 litres an hour. Show me another 37 ft boat that gets anywhere near that!!!

I have always loved the styling on the Axopar range, but it really was the new hull design on the 37 revolution that had me push the buy button.”

3 Time Eyachts Owner Review – Dave

Dave owned his 28 T-Top for only 6 short months before upgrading to a 37 Sun Top and now with a 28 Cabin, so I think it is safe to say he has a bit of experience with Axopars. “With the twin outboards, the boat jumps on the plain before you can think about it… In the cabin with the doors slightly ajar you could hold a conversation at any speeds, even up to 38 to 40 knots. When at anchor if you open everything up there is a good flow for conversation across the boat.”
