2023 Axopar 28 T-Top

Slide into the helm and you’ll notice how the deep, secure freeboard and wide side decks make moving fore and aft feel confident, even when the chop picks up. The bow seating converts from a bracing ride out to a relaxed lounge in minutes, and the aft deck can shift from open dance floor for casting and diving to a cozy social nook around the table. Tall, wraparound windscreen panels cut the breeze without killing the thrill, and the hull’s sharp entry rewards you with a dry, sure-footed ride when others are throttling back. Thoughtful details—like grab rails exactly where you reach for them and step heights that feel natural—show this is a skipper’s boat, built by people who run fast often.

This 28-footer really comes into its own in waters where conditions can swing from glassy to gusty in a single outing. The stepped hull and long waterline handle wind chop and confused swell with poise, giving you the confidence to stretch your range to distant anchorages and reef lines. The T-top’s shade makes long days trolling, snorkeling, or island-hopping far more comfortable, while the open, walkaround layout is ideal for frequent swims and quick gear changes on the hook. Shallow draft lets you nose in closer to sandbars and lava-rock coves alike, and efficient twin outboards balance spirited performance with reasonable fuel burn over longer coastal runs.
