WA Axoparty 2026: An Unforgettable Swan River Cruise with the Axopar Community

12 Axopars Take on the Swan River

With 12 boats ready for adventure, the WA Axoparty fleet set off from the new bridge, beginning a scenic Swan River cruise towards Elizabeth Quay before making its way back to Rocky Bay.

There’s no better backdrop for an Axopar gathering than Perth’s iconic waterways. With beautiful riverfront scenery, the city skyline and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the open water, the Swan River provides an incredible setting for a day of boating.

A Little Friendly Competition on the Water

One of the highlights of the 2026 WA Axoparty was the challenge that had everyone getting involved.

As the fleet made its way along the Swan River, owners and their crews worked together to answer questions, complete photo tasks and capture memorable moments from the day.

There was plenty of laughter, a healthy dose of friendly competition and some brilliant team efforts as everyone embraced the challenge.

Whether it was working out the answers, snapping the perfect photo or simply enjoying the fun of being part of the fleet, the activities brought another dimension to the Swan River cruise.

It was fantastic to see everyone getting into the spirit of the day, proving that a little friendly competition is even better when shared with a great group of boaties.

Exploring Perth: The Swan River Cruise Route

The adventure began at the new Stirling Bridge, where 12 Axopar boats came together for a spectacular Swan River cruise through the heart of Perth. Cruising along the picturesque waterways, the fleet passed some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the famous Crawley Edge Boatshed, affectionately known as the Blue Boat House. From there, the Axopars continued towards Elizabeth Quay, making a short stop to soak up the vibrant waterfront atmosphere before turning around for the return journey. The cruise concluded at the beautiful Rocky Bay, where the fleet gathered for a well-deserved raft-up, delicious seafood and an afternoon of socialising with fellow Axopar owners.

The Ultimate Axopar Raft-Up at Rocky Bay

After a fun-filled cruise, the fleet came together at Rocky Bay for one of the most anticipated parts of the day, the raft-up!

With Axopars gathered side by side, the afternoon was all about slowing down, sharing stories and enjoying the company of fellow owners.

Delicious seafood and charcuterie platters were enjoyed as everyone relaxed on board, mingled between boats and soaked up the atmosphere.

One of the best parts of an Axopar owners event is watching everyone explore each other’s boats. From comparing layouts and favourite features to sharing boating tips, destinations and memorable adventures, there’s always something to talk about.

And, of course, there was a well-earned bougie to round out the celebrations!

It was the perfect way to finish an incredible day, surrounded by beautiful boats, delicious food and an even better group of people.

More Than a Boat: The Axopar Owners Community

While the boats certainly turn heads, it’s the people behind them who make events like the WA Axoparty so memorable.

The Axopar community brings together people from different backgrounds, united by a shared love of adventure, exploration and life on the water.

For some, boating is about discovering new destinations and heading off on weekend adventures. For others, it’s about entertaining family and friends, enjoying a spontaneous afternoon cruise or finding the perfect place to drop anchor.

Whatever draws them to boating, Axopar owners share a passion that creates an instant connection.

At Eyachts, we believe the ownership experience should extend well beyond purchasing a boat. Bringing owners together through events like the WA Axoparty creates opportunities to build friendships, exchange knowledge and make memories that last long after the boats return to the marina.

And judging by the smiles, laughter and enthusiasm throughout the day, the WA Axopar community certainly knows how to have a good time!

Hear From the Owners

The best people to explain what makes Axopar ownership special are the owners themselves.

Throughout the WA Axoparty, we caught up with members of the community to hear about their experiences, favourite boating memories and what they enjoyed most about the day.

Why They Love Their Axopars

“I don’t think anyone understands dayboating like Axopar. Especially WA, we are the dayboating capital of Australia, and this is the pinnacle of dayboating. We drive the boat down to our place in Dunsborough every Christmas, and our pinnacle of every single day is sitting in the glass off in the blue with the family. I think that’s dayboating and family, full stop.”

Brett, Axopar 37 Sun Top Owner

“When we bought the boat, our expectations were pretty high, and after having the boat, they’re even higher. It’s just an awesome boat.”

Lieven, Axopar 45 Cross Cabin Owner

Favourite Axopar Moments

“My favourite moment was flying down here today at 56 knots from Mandurah. It was really quick, we got here really fast, and it was very economical because of the shape of the hull.”

Alex, Axopar 37 Cross Cabin Owner

“When we first got the Axopar as a family, we went out and spent the whole day at Rottnest. We ended up able to stay the night just on a whim. It was an unforgettable family night.”

Tylah, Axopar 37 Sun Top Owner

What Owners Thought of WA Axoparty 2026

“Today, what a magnificent day today, and the weather surprised us; it was even better than we were expecting. The hospitality put on by Eyachts was very, very nice. And what an incredible opportunity to meet other Axopar owners. We’ll be back next year.”

James, Axopar 37 Cross Cabin Owner

“Everybody gets on well, and everybody’s got a different boat, and everyone’s got a different idea, and every boat works to their ideas. They must love it, and we love ours.”

Robert, Axopar 37 Cross Cabin Owner
