2020 Boat of the Year Axopar 28 Cabin
Article Posted Mar 01, 2021This is one of the most sought after awards a manufacturer can receive in the marine industry, and the Axopar 28 Cabin was selected from a fleet of over 100 boats tested, and published by Boating magazine in the year 2020.
The "Boat of The Year" award is presented to a boat that the magazine believes to most advance recreational boating, quoting the 2020 jury:
"Awarding the most prestigious prize in recreational boating is no easy task. And it’s not getting easier; the dedication to craftsmanship, performance and safety exhibited by contemporary boatbuilders continues to rise."
"Axopar’s 28 Cabin combines innovation with versatility on its way to winning this year’s award. It can cruise, entertain and fish, and handles great. It delivers performance, versatility and innovation for a relatively affordable price."
The coveted "Boat of The Year" title has in the past mainly been awarded amongst the wide array of US boat manufacturers. This year is an exception and it is the first time that the "Boat of The Year" title is awarded to a European boat builder, Axopar Boats.
"We at Axopar are especially proud to be the first European boat manufacturer to receive this renowned award and want to thank our devoted network of dealers and our beloved customers in the US for their strong commitment and devotion towards the Axopar concept and its products, sharing the Axopar excitement and way of boating.", Founding Partner Jan-Erik Viitala.
Jeff Brown Yachts is honored to be Axopar’s exclusive West Coast Dealer in the US. We are excited to represent such an innovative and versatile brand that is thriving here in the Pacific.
