Why Do Women Love Axopar?

What Features Make the Axopar 37 Appealing to Female Boaters?

It all started with the looks, but it was the practicality that took the cake and Penny knew exactly what she was looking for.

“I’d been looking at them for a while. I thought they were amazing. I thought they looked really cool,” she says.

As someone who wanted to feel more confident and connected to the water, the traditional two-storey cruiser they previously owned wasn’t cutting it anymore. It felt removed from the elements, hard to handle, especially in Perth’s often breezy conditions.

“We used to have a boat that was like two-storey. I didn’t feel comfortable, and I just wanted something so I could feel close to the water but still have all the mod-cons. Luckily, he agreed,” she recalls.

For many women, the right boat isn’t necessarily the biggest. It’s the one that feels intuitive, safe, and easy to manage. That’s where the Axopar 37 Cross Cabin excels. Designed with everyday usability in mind, it offers walkaround access, protected indoor and outdoor seating, and high stability even in rougher conditions. Penny felt the difference immediately.

“It doesn’t tip. It’s very stable,” she says. “It’s just fantastic.”

These aren’t just bonus features, they’re game-changers for female boaters who want to feel equally confident navigating or relaxing onboard.

So why are more women choosing Axopar boats?

Because they’re different from what the industry has offered for decades, sharp, functional, stylish, and above all, user-friendly. From the ease of boarding to the visibility from the helm, everything about the Axopar invites confidence

“Happy wife, happy life. And to be honest, the Axopar is a girl’s best friend,” she summarises.

How the Axopar 37 Fit an Easy Going Lifestyle?

Easy, effortless and usable

For Penny and Noel, life is busy. So when it comes to boating, they want something that’s quick to get going and easy to wind down. That’s where the Axopar 37 Cross Cabin shines.

“It’s a really good lifestyle choice for us right now. We’re not spending long periods of time living onboard. Which is why it is perfect for us,” Noel explains.

Whether it’s a spontaneous sunset cruise or a quick run to Rottnest, the couple loves how seamlessly the Axopar fits into their daily routine.

“I think it’s fantastic because we can just hop on and in less than 5 minutes we can go,” Penny says.
“We get on, we go, we enjoy it, we bring it back, wash it down, and then we get on with our lives,” adds Noel.

This is boating without the burden. No need for over-prep or overnight planning, just effortless enjoyment, whenever the mood strikes.

What Makes the Axopar 37 a Great Boat for Couples?

Best Short Handed Boat

Boating isn’t just about big group outings or extended liveaboards. For Penny and Noel, it’s about making time for each other, and the Axopar supports that beautifully.

“We usually like going out as a couple,” Penny says. “We often just sneak away after work and on a hot day, just come across to Rottnest, have a swim, have a drink.”

The layout of the Axopar 37 Cross Cabin makes it easy for one or two people to run the boat comfortably. From its enclosed helm to its safe walkaround deck, the design lends itself to spontaneous escapes and stress-free day trips.

“It’s so versatile,” Noel adds. “We can take it anywhere. It’s really easy. That’s what I love about it.”

With Axopar, the experience is just as rewarding for couples as it is for large groups a truly adaptable boat for any dynamic.

How does Axopar compare to other boats?

Downsized, Not Compromised, Axopar Outperforms Bigger Boats

While the Axopar 37 may be smaller than their previous boat, Penny and Noel quickly discovered it doesn’t feel like a downgrade, in fact, quite the opposite.

“It packs a whole lot of boat into a small space, and that really worked for us,” says Noel.
“It’s kind of doing everything our bigger boat did, but with a lot more ease. It really is a box ticker.”

It’s not just about size, it’s about smart design, modular layouts, and boats that make every square metre count. For boaters who want all the function without the fuss, this is the sweet spot.

And for Penny, that freedom and simplicity has been empowering,“I feel that we’ve simplified, but we’ve magnified at the same time by buying this boat.”

How Does the Axopar 37 Handle Offshore?

Axopar 37 Cross Cabin Performs even in challenging conditions

From coastal hops between Perth and Rottnest to open-water runs in stiff afternoon breezes, WA boating conditions can shift quickly. That’s where the Axopar 37’s twin-stepped hull and sharp bow entry really prove their worth.

Designed for stability and soft landings in chop, the Axopar 37 Cross Cabin handles offshore conditions with surprising ease for a sub-40-foot boat.

“For the West Australian sea breezes and conditions, it’s quite a solid sea boat,” Noel explains. “There are lots of sheltered bays, but sometimes it’s rough getting there. We managed that comfortably and feel good about it.”

The boat’s wide beam and low centre of gravity add to the confidence. Whether it’s 15–20 knot southwesterlies or moderate swell, the ride stays smooth, dry and composed, even with just two people aboard.

“I feel so safe,” Penny adds. “It handles the stronger sea breezes really well.”

For anyone who wants to get offshore without worry, or return home comfortably when the wind picks up, the Axopar 37’s performance is a standout feature.

Experience With Eyachts

When it came time to buy, Penny and Noel found the process as enjoyable as the boating.

“Brendan honestly is the nicest boat broker, and that’s a big call,” Penny says. “We’ve dealt with a lot of brokers, and he’s just such a gentleman. Honest, with integrity. We still stay in touch with him.”

Noel agrees: “His approach is why we’re here.”

The Axoparty Effect

Like many owners, Penny and Noel were swept up in the Axopar community spirit after attending their first WA Axoparty.

“How could you not enjoy Parker Point with a bunch of Axaparians?” Penny laughs. “It’s been great, amazing, really.”

So why do women love Axopar? Because it’s boating made simple, without sacrificing performance or enjoyment.

For Penny and Noel, the Axopar 37 Cross Cabin was the right choice. It’s easy to handle, well thought out, and fits seamlessly into their lifestyle. Whether it’s a quick trip to Rottnest or an afternoon cruise, it delivers comfort, safety, and versatility without the usual complications.

It’s not just a day boat for women, couples, or families, it’s a practical, well-designed boat for anyone who values ease of use and thoughtful design.
