Reviewed: Axopar 25 Cross Top – (BoatTest.com, February 2023)
Captain Steve from BoatTest.com took the Axopar 25 Cross Top out for a performance evaluation and features and options inspection.
"What’s most impressive about the 25 Cross Top is how Axopar managed to add so many of the features from her larger siblings into a boat with a smaller footprint without making it feel cramped or being hard to move about in. It’s a remarkably comfortable boat, and surprisingly functional."
"At full speed the hull will tend to hit the waves and transfer that hit through the entire length, so there’s no real slam factor."
"In hard-over performance turns, she tends to fall off the turn at about the ¾ point, and then the stern kicks around. This makes her an excellent watersports platform, especially in tight confines where turning space is limited."
Other reviews & tests
Fast but safe. Open but sheltered. Spacious but cruise-friendly. Is there anything the Axopar 45 Cross Top can’t do?
This was one of the most fun and capable center consoles I’ve ever driven. Axopar should have a hit—in a new niche—on its hands.
In terms of driveability, the 29 is unquestionably elite, and its performance comes from an energy-efficient approach compared to its competitors.
