Axopar 28 Cabin, BOBBYS BOY

Broker’s Comments

MBY named the Axopar 28 Cabin ‘the most versatile 28-footer on the market’—and it’s easy to see why.

This stylish 2023 Axopar 28 Cabin showcases exactly why the Axopar brand has dominated its market sector. The brilliantly designed interior offers comfortable family seating under way and versatile four-berth accommodation for overnight stays. Two large sliding doors and a full-length powered roof provide the best of both worlds, rain or shine, while the forward-raked windscreen ensures all-weather capability. Useful demisters, powered by the Webasto cabin heating system, make colder days on the water more enjoyable.

The separate heads are smartly designed, with private access from the foredeck, an electric flushing WC, and a sink. It’s a clever solution that also provides additional storage atop the forward deck lockers when needed. As with all Axopar designs, it is well thought out, uncluttered, and exceptionally practical.

Her decks are exceptionally safe, featuring all-round grab rails and additional fitted fendering to make berthing effortless. The foredeck serves as both a practical working area and a versatile space, with a drop-down table that converts into a sun pad or an al fresco dining area. The aft cabin moulding includes a set of cushions that create a secluded sun pad, while all external cushions have been stored ashore, keeping the boat in excellent condition—with just 63 hours recorded on the tachometers.

Other notable features in her specification include the upgraded Fusion audio system, an extra swim ladder with hoops, a full Glass-Bridge navigation setup, Simrad Halo20+ radar, powered battery switching, and the stylish blue Petrol upholstery upgrade package.

As you’d expect, performance from the single V8 Mercury is brisk—delivering mid-40-knot speeds, responsive steering, and early planing, thanks to the deeply veed twin air-step hull. The ride remains dry, with spray deflected by the molded hull spray rails, while the boat stays quiet and composed under way. The outboard is safeguarded by a sturdy aft frame with a towing hook, and with no-nonsense stainless steel deck equipment, she looks clean, modern, and undeniably fit for purpose.

Owner’s Comments

Being new to boating, we wanted a family boat that would allow us the flexibility to go anywhere, offer a safe environment for children and allow for the odd overnight – our 28 ticked every box.

She is faultless; provided us with lots of adventures and is a perfect stepping stone into a bigger vessel.
