MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS:
Look cool and stay cool. Why let extreme hot weather curtail your boating enjoyment? Now you don’t have to with Axopar’s smart-thinking 28 T-Top.
A highly versatile, multi-purpose, walkaround sports cruiser, form & function have fused together to create the Axopar 28 T-Top version, successfully screening the front and rear passengers from the less pleasant effects of too much sun.
Sometimes having too much sun can be as unpleasant as not having enough, and Axopar thought about that when they designed the smart-thinking T-Top with large, canvas roof shade, mounted to a sturdy & permanent metal frame.
Knowing you and your guests can now spend even more time on the water means the toilet and wash-hand basin and top loading fridge options, for example, are the kind of useful upgrades Axopar offer to make life afloat that little bit more civilised.
Ideal for those who live too far away from their boat to want to return home each night or perfect for those impromptu weekends away with spouse or partner – our Aft Cabin option allows comfortable overnight sleeping accommodation to two, with the same space doubling as significant extra stowage capability, when not in use.
For day long hospitality from a dedicated drinks serving area, our fully plumbed-in wet bar module is a clever touch that’s bound to impress your friends with an end-f-day sundowner, or day-long supply of your favourite ice-cold beer!
Celebrate your time afloat with the smart-thinking Axopar T-Top.
MANUFACTURER’S BACKGROUND:
“Ever since the Axopar 28 range caught the public’s imagination for the first time at its world premiere at the Helsinki Boat Show in 2014, competitors have tried but nothing has come remotely close to packaging such devastatingly cool looks with an exhilarating driving experience, and incredible value-for-money.
With its elongated hull lines and sharp, angular features, suddenly here was a concept that not only looked like nothing we had seen before, but cleverly conceived ‘modular’ options gave the range full versatility and created wide customer appeal, changing the way people perceived boating almost overnight.
Since 2014, Axopar Boats has grown to become one of Europe’s top ten powerboat producers and is comfortably regarded as the biggest boat producer in the Nordic countries. As a privately owned company, Axopar is amongst the most financially stable companies in the leisure boating market.
Today, Axopar directly employs about 120 persons across 5 offices in Europe, and together with its OEM partners, employs over 650 persons in total. The company has always stood without any debt and is officially listed by the Financial Times as one of the fastest growing European companies. Year by year, Axopar develops sales in existing markets with more than 3,500 boats built so far, through a network of approximately 100 dealers in more than 50 countries.”
