The Vessel
The Axopar 28
Finnish-designed, award-winning, and built for Sydney Harbour.
Why This Boat
World-Class Engineering Meets Sydney Harbour
Choosing the right vessel was the most important decision we made. We needed a boat that handles challenging harbour conditions, performs across a wide range of activities, and delivers a premium experience every time. After extensive research and sea trials, we chose the Axopar 28 — and it has exceeded every expectation.

On the Water
Built for Sydney Harbour
Sydney Harbour is stunning but demanding. Conditions change quickly — calm water in the morning, stiff southerly chop by afternoon. Ferry wash, tidal currents, and busy traffic require a capable vessel.
The Axopar's deep-V hull slices through chop rather than slamming over it. The elevated helm gives clear sightlines. Responsive steering and the 350HP V8 make tight marina manoeuvres straightforward.
Whether it's a relaxed cruise to Watsons Bay, a fishing session off North Head, or entertaining friends at sunset — the Axopar handles it all with composure.
