Axopar Boats offers a first glimpse of an upcoming all-new range set to revolutionize the future of adventure boating – the Axopar 38. The first model in its range, the Axopar 38 XC Cross Cabin, will make its world premiere at BOOT Düsseldorf in January 2026, followed by three other models later. The 38 range is the most ambitious and impactful product line in the company’s history so far — the culmination of a decade of experience, customer insights, and relentless innovation, created to set new standards in the industry.
 
Over the past ten years Axopar has created an entirely new boating category — the adventure boat. Building boats that answer real boaters’ needs has been the mission from day one. Today, Axopar boats are part of the lives of thousands of owners worldwide — from professional operators to first-time boaters. Axopar boats are known for their uncompromising performance, safety, smart functionality, and a spirit of mobility — qualities that have made them the benchmark in the adventure boating category.
 
Drivability and handling lie at the very core of Axopar’s DNA and the Axopar 38 takes this heritage further, refining control, comfort, and versatility to set a new standard. Built to be driven, lived with, and enjoyed in all conditions, it embodies the raw essence of what an Axopar is.
 
Axopar is dedicated to creating smart modular solutions and enhancing comfort features, always without compromising drivability. Recognizing the importance of the customer’s ability to choose, the new range has been developed with a clear mission: to create the most modular boat ever. It has been designed for those who enjoy long days on the water or overnight journeys, where comfort and livability are as essential as performance.

With its bold yet functional design, the 38 adapts to the needs of each boater — not the other way around — making every Axopar 38 feel genuinely purpose-built for its owner.
 
Jan-Erik Viitala, Founding Partner at Axopar Boats shares his enthusiasm for the new range:

“We believe boaters deserve the freedom of choice, and that’s why we have set out to redefine what a boat can be. We pioneered modularity — a difficult, costly, and time-consuming task — when others avoided it. With the Axopar 38, we have gone further than ever — our biggest investment and the most passionate development in our history.
 
To reach this deep level of understanding has required more time and dedication than ever before. We are stubborn in our pursuit — determined to find the right solution and create the best product out there. We have gone to this extent because our customers expect it from us. We love creating boats that surprise, inspire, and connect with people. The Axopar 38 is not just another boat — it is the next legend of our time, carrying the soul of Axopar to a new understanding.
 
We exist to bring people closer to what matters most, not through more, but through better.”
 
The Axopar 38 XC Cross Cabin will be the first model launched from the 38 range, premiering at BOOT Düsseldorf 2026.

Modularity remains at the heart of Axopar’s philosophy, and the 38 offers more freedom of choice than ever, adaptable for family cruising, overnight stays, fishing, watersports, or long journeys. Multiple bow layouts, larger glass surfaces, and signature features such as gullwing doors and the sliding roof enhance safety, flow, and outdoor enjoyment.
 
The aft deck has been reimagined for flexibility, with foldable activity platforms, modular fender box solutions, and layout choices ranging from a leaning post or sofa to a full aft cabin with sunbed top. Inside, the wheelhouse is larger and more versatile, with rotating helm seats, a U-sofa, and an electric table that converts the space into a lounge or berth. The upgraded front cabin redefines onboard livability, with increased headroom and comfort. A redesigned toilet and shower option with standing headroom, ample storage, and a practical kitchenette option make the front cabin a bright, comfortable everyday living area.
