Axopar

Axopar is a Finnish boat builder founded in 2014 and based in Helsinki, Finland. It builds outboard-powered adventure boats and day boats, and the brand has become known for a modular layout concept and performance-focused design. Axopar also produces boats through manufacturing facilities in Poland and markets them internationally.

Axopar began as a brand developed in Finland and entered the market in 2014 with the Axopar 28. The company says co-founder Jan-Erik Viitala started work on the brand in 2012, and the first model debuted at the Helsinki International Boat Show in February 2014. Axopar’s headquarters are in Helsinki, while production has expanded in Poland. The builder reports that it has delivered more than 7,500 boats and sells through a wide dealer network across more than 50 countries.

Axopar is best known for its twin-stepped deep-V hulls, modular deck layouts, and use of outboard engines. The original 28 was offered in several versions, including Open, T-Top, Sun-Top, Cabin, and Sports Cabin, establishing the brand’s flexible format. The range has since grown to include models such as the 22, 28, 37, and 45. Axopar markets its boats as adventure boats and point-to-point cruisers, combining enclosed cabin options with open cockpit layouts for day use and weekend cruising.
