Axopar 29 XC Cross Cabin

Sometime in 2013, an idea was born.

By 2014, after developing the original concept into drawings and then into molds, the first Axopar 28 Cabins were launched. Those first models aimed to present an alternative option to boaters: A distinctive profile and a boat designed and engineered to take its owners off the beaten path if desired.

One look at the Axopar 29 XC Cross Cabin will confirm that and so much more. With a pilothouse surrounded by large, panoramic windows, seating for six and a large sunpad aft, there’s a place for everyone to enjoy the adventure.

“We talk to boaters every day, and the 29 XC delivers exactly what they’ve been asking for: Smart design, standout looks and real-world usability. It’s not just eye-catching at the dock, it’s built to perform, no matter the conditions,” says Brad Eckhardt, head of sales for Manitowoc Marina.

From stem to stern, innovative features stand out, like U- or L-shaped seating that defines the bow. With the addition of a dining table and bow shade, the space provides an exciting alfresco experience. There are large storage compartments under the seat cushions, while the bench, assisted by heavy-duty rams, lifts up for access to either a large storage space or an optional sleeping berth via a folding, well-made ladder. There is also room allotted for a toilet under the center cushion.

Power options include a single Mercury Verado V8 or V10, and twin Mercury Four Stroke V6 outboards. Optional equipment includes solar panels for trickle charging, an aft cabin, a wetbar, an electric sunroof, twin 12-inch Simrad NSX chartplotters, HALO 20+ radar and a host of others.

“Whether you’re heading out for watersports, exploring new places or spending the day on the water with family and friends, it’s built to make every outing count,” Eckhardt adds.
