Best 37 Foot Boat Axopar 37 Cross Cabin Review Australia

Looking for the Best 37 Foot Boat? Why They Chose the Axopar 37 – Nikki Durden

Nikki two time Axopar 37 owner says, “The Axopar is a brilliant day boat. It cuts through the water beautifully but is also incredibly comfortable. There’s plenty of space for friends and family, and we love how versatile it is for both adventure and relaxation. 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 Customer Testimonial Victoria – Robert Ungar

This Axopar 37 Cabin Owner loves “the internal cabin, the wide opening sunroof and sun lounge.

Is the Axopar 37 Diamond Quality? – The Diamonds

The Diamonds love their Axopar’s, “Speed, comfort and amazing flexible fun and ability for overnighters… We love hanging out having fun on the water. Zooming out through the heads, but the adventure doesn’t stop there,” says Bec Diamond.

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.”
– Andrew, Axopar 37 Owner

Axopar 28 Owner Review – The Flemings

“We love the Axopar, it fulfils all our needs with the enclosed helm and how quiet and peaceful it is with the doors closed and retractable roof open. It rides well at 25kts and is easy to manoeuvre”.
– Jon and Anne Fleming

Axopar Owner Review

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.”

Georgies Axopar 28 Review

Axopar 28 Review – Georgie

“The Axopar is so easy to handle I can head out at any time in any condition. The Axopar is a sexy sports car. A convertible with opening doors and roof which allow full control of the amount of sun and wind one experiences.”
– Georgie, Axopar 28, Sydney

Axopar owner

The Wright kind of story – Jasmyn

“We LOVE our boat, it’s been one of the best things that’s happened to us. With twin 300hp and antifoul we have comfortably gotten to 42kts.
We have communication with Eyachts and Brendon here in WA so we know if we ever needed anything we will be looked after, we really love our boat.”

Surf Ski Adventure On Axopar 37 Sun Top – Richard

Richard surf skiing owner – “The boat itself just offers so much versatility, it’s a great dayboat it’s a great family boat, we get to use 37ft not 7 ft, it’s versatility is what sold me and to do something like this is pretty unique and they’re a great offshore boat too so that’s important.”

“Just like many other Axopar owners, I’ve had and been on many boats (It’s my vice), I can say, no other boat inspires such confidence and security on the water. They are producing a fantastic product and the sales to date prove that. Congratulations Axopar. I’ve had a few boats, this is the best!”

Axopar 24 Customer review Graeme

Axopar 24 Review – Crayfishing and Surfing – Graeme

“The ride quality and finish were exceptional”. The 24 was his choice of Axopar due to greater ease of beach anchoring at Rottnest.
“I have had a number of sensational boating days. Nothing beats a two hour surf at Rottnest and then picking up 16 crays on the way home.”
– Graeme
