The Axopar 45 Cross Top is a spacious and versatile vessel, measuring 13.9 meters in length and boasting a generous 4.1-meter beam. This substantial size allows for ample volume, particularly in the living areas of the boat. Impressively the vessel has a flat deck throughout, from the duckboard to the helm station it is all one level, creating a smooth flow.
Aft Layout
At the rear of the boat, you can have an abundance of customisations to suit your boating needs.
Open: The standard configuration is an open deck with a single lounge, keeping the area clean and maximising your space for adventure.
U-Sofa: The U-shaped seating setup has an adjustable table. This table can be raised for dining or lowered to create a massive sun pad – the perfect spot to soak up the sun.
Aft Cabin: If you opt for the spacious aft cabin this provides you with a sizable and comfortable sunbed with access inside via the cockpit.
Aft Wet Bar: In addition to cockpit wetbar you can opt for an aft Wetbar instead of a rear fender locker on the starboard side. This features a sink, grill and fridge.
Cockpit
Forward Dining Area: The main dining area features a table that folds out to double its size, providing a comfortable and shaded spot beneath the sun top. The lounges provide ample seating for 10 people.
Side Wings: The Axopar 45’s side wings fold out to create even more seating, making this area a hub for socializing with friends and family.
Wet Bar: Near the helm station, you’ll discover an internal wet bar complete with an induction cooktop, sink, and fridges, making it easy to prepare meals and drinks while enjoying your time on the water.
Helm Station: The helm station is equipped with two large 16-inch Simrad displays, intuitive controls, and an integrated steering wheel with trim tabs, bow thruster, and audio controls.
Sunroof & Bow
Sunroof: The high roof allows for ample headroom and features a double-opening sunroof system, ensuring ample natural light and sunshine.
Roof Racks and Solar Panel: For those with a sense of adventure, the Axopar 45 offers three sets of roof racks for paddleboards and kayaks, as well as a solar panel for battery trickle charging.

Cabins: This model provides versatile sleeping options. The forward cabin offers a large double V-berth that can convert into an internal lounge. If you choose the Aft cabin option, it doubles your sleeping capacity.
Toilet and Shower: The boat boasts a fully equipped toilet and shower compartment with excellent headroom and ample storage.
Differences Between Crosstop and Sun Top
The primary difference between the Axopar 45 Cross Top and Sun Top models lies in their windscreen setup. In the Crosstop, the windscreen is connected to the sunroof, creating a seamless, enclosed helm area. This design offers more protection from the elements.
On the other hand, the Sun Top features a sloped windscreen with a gap between the sun top and the windscreen, giving it a sportier appearance.
Both the Axopar 45 Cross Top and Sun Top are stunning boats and highly configurable models, upholding the reputation of the Axopar name. Their spacious layout, thoughtful design, and versatile features make them a top choice for those seeking a thrilling and comfortable boating experience.
