  2. THE REFRESHED AXOPAR 28 RANGE!

    Comments Off on THE REFRESHED AXOPAR 28 RANGE!

    NEW FOR 2021…

    CABIN ROOF
    The Axopar 28 Cabin will now feature a completely new roof design with integrated gunwales, and without targa frame, the same as currently used in the BRABUS Shadow 500 Cabin. An optional roof rack will also be available to order.

    HEAVY DUTY RUB RAIL
    The full rub rail around the outside of the hull will also be changed to a new version, similar to the Axopar 37 (grey as standard and black on BRABUS Line).

    SWIM PLATFORMS
    A new swim platform has been designed, including a heavy duty rub rail around the swim platforms as standard, similar to the design of the current Axopar 37. This improved design also eliminates the need for Esthec on the swim platforms.

    HELM CONSOLE & SIMRAD NAVIGATION OPTIONS
    The newly designed helm console will now feature Simrad electronics, replacing Garmin, as we unify our navigation systems across the full Axopar range. There will be an option for customers to order a “Glass Helm Information Display”, similar to the Axopar 37.

    SEAT BASE IN CABIN MODEL
    Seat bases in Axopar 28 Cabin boats will be lowered by approximately 5 cm for a better ergonomics and improved visibility.

  3. AXOPAR’S WINNING FORMULA – ALL FUSED INTO A 22-FOOTER

    Comments Off on AXOPAR’S WINNING FORMULA – ALL FUSED INTO A 22-FOOTER

    A sneak preview of the forthcoming new Axopar 22 Spyder.

    Axopar has always been known for creating exciting and innovative boats with great handling and performance, combined with solid, competitive pricing for customers.

    An Original Axopar Experience.

    We are soon to expand our fleet of premium boats to the competitive 22-footer market with a product that, together with fantastic value for money, will represent all the key unique features and functionalities that define a true Axopar.

    With a price tag in the region of just ‚¬49,000 ‘turn-key ready’ at the factory and inclusive of a Mercury F115hp outboard and 19% VAT, the forthcoming Axopar 22 will continue this market-leading, favourable trend.

    Superior, to many boats out there, the cool-looking Axopar 22 Spyder will be a true driver’s boat, offering first-in-class handling, seaworthiness and safety, combined with the efficiency and comfort that its bigger 28ft and 37ft siblings are renowned for.

    Pure Axopar, condensed.

    At Axopar we want our customer’s first experience of boating to be a good one, so we have designed a hull that is safe, stable, and unintimidating, but at the same time fun, comfortable, thrilling and rewarding to drive. By implementing a classic Axopar hull in a smaller size, the outcome is a boat that is easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces with minimum windage impact.

    Built around a customer’s personal needs.

    Based upon the same hull platform per each model size, our versatile deck layouts continue to delight thousands of customers around the world, with the same concept applying to the new Axopar 22.

    Three different aft deck layouts are available at launch, including a large U-shaped sofa for six people, a multi-storage compartment with seating (either for four seated sideways or two facing forward), or a forward-facing rear bench for two-persons as standard. An optional enclosed toilet at the front of the centre console makes this a perfect proposition for families and guests of all age groups.

    A smart boat that packs a punch and will turn heads wherever you go, and all without breaking the bank!

     

    Launching this Autumn, stay tuned for more!

    Comments Off on Southampton International Boat Show 2020 – Postponed until 2021

    Following the COVID-19 guidelines regarding large scale gatherings, British Marine will be postponing the 52nd edition of the Southampton International Boat Show until September 2021.

    Lesley Robinson, CEO of British Marine said, “The world is in an unprecedented situation with the COVID-19 pandemic and public health is everyone’s priority. Annually Southampton International Boat Show attracts an attendance of over 100,000, with over 430 exhibitors. An event of this size and format is simply not possible this year and as such, we have made the decision to postpone it until September 2021.”

    “We’re naturally very disappointed that we cannot run the event this year in its usual magnitude and format, but the Southampton International Boat Show is a key international event, which will be back stronger than ever in 2021.  We will ensure that we make the 52nd edition one to remember.”

    Comments Off on THE NEW NIMBUS T11

    The world premiere of the new Nimbus Tender 11 was at the Dusseldorf Boat Show 2019.

    The T11 is a 12.5-meter-long walk-around for excursions with plenty of space for up to 12 people to socialize or take part in activities, while also providing enough room for everyone onboard to face the direction of travel when moving at higher speeds.

    It is Nimbus’ vision of the perfect day boat with the ambition of perfecting easy living at sea while providing a social playground for friends and families. In short, that means a large lounge area with adjustable seating arrangements, multiple sun-beds, outdoor cuisine, gyro stabilization, XXL stowage for gear and toys and an impressive amount of deck space which provides an overwhelming freedom of movement. Packaged in contemporary Scandinavian design.

    For further details on the T11 please contact enquiries@offshorepowerboats.co.uk / 01590 677955.
