Axopar 28 Cabin: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Axopar 28 Cabin presents a distinctive and unconventional design that sets it apart in its class both aesthetically and functionally. This model is notable for its enclosed cabin, which combines clever spatial compromises and added features to maximize usability and comfort. The boat’s design balances innovation with practicality, making it a compelling option for those seeking a versatile day boat with upscale amenities.
Interior Living Spaces
Stepping into the cabin reveals a high level of fit and finish, characterized by premium materials and thoughtful design details. The cabin offers a generous headroom of 6 feet 3 inches and is surrounded by large windows, including a prominent aft window, providing ample natural light and visibility. The overhead is finished with suede panels accented by LED lighting and features a large manually operated sunroof. Seating is crafted from Nirox and upholstered in double-stitched suede with a diamond pattern, consistent with the Brabus trim package’s grayscale tones. The aft seating spans 5 feet 2 inches and can be converted into a double berth by folding down the seats and adding a filler cushion. Storage is integrated beneath the seats, with battery compartments and switches conveniently located. Forward seats include flip-down armrests and bolsters, and clever design allows them to tilt forward to reveal a concealed sink and an electrically chilled cooler with self-draining capability. The helm area is equipped with a 12-inch Garmin display, a 5-inch Mercury VesselView, illuminated electrical switches, and ergonomically arranged controls including joystick trim tabs, bow thruster, VHF, and stereo controls. Visibility is enhanced by a wraparound windshield with minimal distortion and a forward rake to reduce glare.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The exterior of the Axopar 28 Cabin is thoughtfully designed for both functionality and comfort. The aft deck measures 3 feet by 6 feet 8 inches and is self-draining, featuring insulated storage compartments that double as coolers and additional under-deck storage extending forward for over 6 feet. The stern includes reversible staple rails that facilitate swimming, maintenance, or engine tilting. Twin Mercury four-stroke engines are mounted with accessible checkpoints and non-skid platforms on either side, complemented by a retractable boarding ladder. Side decks are 14 inches wide with bulwarks rising 24 inches and rails topping out at 29 inches, ensuring safety and ease of movement. The bow area is designed as a social zone with an L-shaped bench seat, a table, padded bolsters, and storage beneath the seats, including dedicated compartments for the table and pedestal. A filler cushion converts the bow seating into a sun pad. The bow also houses a side power windlass with a polished stainless steel anchor and recessed roller, allowing for hatch closure when deployed. Access hatches provide maintenance points for the power steering pump, bow thruster, and black water tank. The boat is NMMA certified, underscoring its adherence to industry standards.
Private Accommodations and Head
The head compartment is located forward within the deckhouse and accessed via two steps. It offers 4 feet 2 inches of overhead clearance and nearly 3 feet of sitting headroom, with ventilation provided by a top vent. The space is finished with veneer wood and faux teak decking, featuring a solid surface countertop with a recessed sink and contemporary fixtures. Storage is available above and beneath the sink, and the porcelain toilet includes an electric flush. Mirrors adorn the aft bulkhead, with a service panel behind them for easy access to electronics and plumbing components, facilitating maintenance and installation.
Power and Performance
The Axopar 28 Cabin measures 30 feet overall with a beam of 9 feet 8 inches and a draft of 2 feet 8 inches. The test boat, equipped with twin 200 horsepower Mercury four-stroke engines driving 13.6 by 21 inertia props, achieved a top speed just under 56 miles per hour at 5,700 RPM. Optimal cruising speed was recorded at 31 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, delivering a fuel burn of 13.7 gallons per hour and an efficiency of 2.3 miles per gallon, resulting in a range of approximately 138 miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the 68-gallon capacity. The boat planes quickly, reaching planing speed in 4.4 seconds with a 7-degree bow rise, and accelerates to 20 and 30 miles per hour in 6 and 8.7 seconds respectively. Handling is precise and responsive, with minimal prop ventilation during turns and excellent grip, aided by the twin stepped hull design. The plumb bow extends forward to the keel, reducing slide and enhancing wave penetration. In rough seas with 4 to 6-foot waves, the boat demonstrated impressive stability and comfort, cutting cleanly through following, head, and beam seas with minimal pounding or discomfort, confirming its capability in offshore conditions.
Conclusion
The Axopar 28 Cabin is a thoughtfully engineered boat that combines distinctive styling with practical features and strong performance characteristics. Its upscale interior, clever use of space, and versatile exterior layout make it suitable for a variety of recreational boating activities. The boat’s handling and seaworthiness in challenging conditions further enhance its appeal. Overall, the Axopar 28 Cabin offers a compelling package for boaters seeking a unique, well-appointed, and capable day boat.
