Exciting new brand from the founders of Aquador, Paragon Yachts and XO
Axopar Boats to launch a premium range of motorboats to very competitive pricing for the 2014 season. We are pleased to announce the launch of Axopar Boats, an exciting new Finnish brand of premium range motorboats. Behind the brand are the founders of Aquador, Paragon Yachts and XO Boats, all renowned brands that have won the prestigious “Motorboat of The Year” title. Debuting during the 2014 season, Axopar will launch the ultimate driving machines, three 28-foot models that are exhilarating to drive, competitively priced and fuel efficient. According to Sakari Mattila, founding partner of Axopar Boats: “Developing a new concept for the European markets is very exciting. Building on the heritage and experience of our three earlier brands, we can easily ramp-up development work to further refine the user experience, providing our customers with an entirely new kind of boating experience.” The range consists of an Open-, T-Top- and a Cabin model. The debut model is the Axopar 28 T-Top, a sleek walk-around cruiser with a twin-stepped hull, canvas roof, and a large aft cabin that can accommodate two persons, and double as a sundeck. The large fore deck features a social area, which seats 4 to 6 persons, and includes a table that also converts into a sun bed. There is a spacious stowage space / toilet in front of the helm, which can be accessed from the fore deck. Meanwhile, all on-water activities, like fishing, swimming or water-skiing, are accommodated on the aft deck, in all models. Axopar also introduces a Business Edition package, with essential optional equipment at a net price, a well-known pricing strategy within the automotive industry. Founding partner Jan-Erik Viitala, sums up the Axopar concept: “Our designs are based on the unique advantages of RIB, or rigid inflatable boats, with their outstanding handling, lightweight construction and unparalleled safety. The result is a boat with a perfect combination of exhilarating driving experience and sensible fuel economy, one that is practical and accessible but also has that WOW effect.”
