I Never Got Wet On The Axopar 28 Cabin Boat
Ойын-сауық
Want to trigger a debate with your fellow boaters the next time you’re on the water? Bring up the subject of cabin boats and you will surely hear some impassioned responses from the hardcore anglers that swear by the traditional open center console.
However, there are many pros to owning a cabin boat even if you do not live in Maine or the Nordics. In this video, I’ll answer some of the most common questions and concerns regarding cabin boats, particularly the Axopar 28.
We had 3-4 ft. seas that day so we also took the chance to conduct a sea trial in rough weather to show you how this Axopar 28 Cabin boat performed.
SPOILER ALERT: We were not disappointed!

This boat reminds me of a high end Volvo, if you have never been in one of their top of line models it can be really surprising how sturdy and lux they are. Great video, well presented and full of the information I was curious about. I can tell you know your yachts!

CG rescued 6 souls and 2 dogs after this boat had its windshield blown out in 6' seas. Check out The Seattle Times 3/11/24.
With the twins can you control the boat with split throttles (1 in fw, 1 in reverse) or are they too close together to work that way? (I know that their tied together) Looking at a 28 without a bow thruster.

Hi Jeb. Even without the bow thruster the 28 is very easy to maneuver especially with dual throttle control. You should be fine without it.
That's a really nice boat Is it possible to set the front half of the roof as sunroof and posterior a solar panel ? I'm in south korea... how can I contact and order this boat??^^

Hi Steve! On the 37 the gyro goes underneath the second row of seats (the opening into hull storage) regardless of the layout. The only exception is the aft cabin.

That's a good question. I guess Axopar's target audience doesn't spend much time fishing or anchored in choppy seas. I found a video walkthrough on the 37 XC: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZJ9-0auEcrjHe7Q.html If I ever get my hands on one I'll be sure to post about it. Thanks for watching!

No transom, no issues? Only concern I’d have in hawaii waters
@yachtbros

I've been out multiple times in rough waters and never had any issues. There's a small step in the stern where all the water that comes in finds its way back out.

There is a transom, it's just not an enclosed space. That is by design for all plumb (piercing) bow designs. They, by design, can and do take on a fair amount of water is rough seas when operated correctly. The open back design ensures that water is evacuated faster than it can come in. Contrary to how most raked bow, planing boats are operated, a plumb bow boat needs to be trimmed down to cut through the waves, not ride on top of them. You don't worry nearly as much about stuffing the bow in a plumb bow boat, the secondary chine and large top rail work in a manner similar to a RIB and prevent the bow from submarining. Of course, you can over do it if you aren't careful but that's no different than handling any boat in rough seas. It's just different than what most recreational boats are designed for.

@@CLee-qh3er I wouldn't be backing down on any fish but I think it's high enough, when you consider how and where the motor/s are attached and how much transom it has up to there that I don't see any issues at anchor or just bobbing around. It has advantages in a following sea in that it can evacuate the water as fast as it comes it vs a closed transom that would need to rely on scuppers. I'll freely admit I'm not an expert as I've never owned an open transom boat like this but I know designed correctly it's not something to worry about unless there's something unique about your use case. I don't think Hawaii is all that much more challenging than the North Sea, where this design originated.
It needs solar panels and electric freezer and cook top. Oh and me for a captain.
