Cannes, 10 September, 2024 - Axopar Boats and Jobe Watersports are excited to debut the first products of their new Adventure Collection at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024. The collection features a carefully curated selection of watersports gear designed to enhance the boating experience.
Designed for adventurers on the water, this collection seamlessly integrates advanced technology with practical design, reflecting the commitment to quality and performance that both brands are renowned for. The collection includes an inflatable kayak for two, a stand-up paddle board, an underwater scooter, a life vest, a range of drybags, and a cooler bag from Jobe Watersports.
A collaboration rooted in innovation
Axopar and Jobe Watersports have combined their expertise and passion to create a truly unique watersports concept in the global market. The collection is more than just a range of products — it represents the synergy between Axopar and Jobe Watersports, two industry leaders with a shared passion for innovation and watersports. This collaboration offers top-of-the-line watersports gear that perfectly complements Axopar boats, delivering an immersive and cohesive experience on the water.
"With this new collection, the adventure extends beyond what you can do onboard — it leaps into new territories. The gear is perfect for bringing along on the boat, but its possibilities are so much greater. Imagine packing an inflatable two-person kayak or SUP board into a backpack and unlocking a whole new world of exploration. Curious minds can uncover hidden coves and secret caves, places only accessible with this kind of watersports gear. Whether you embark on a solo journey or share the adventure with a loved one, it enriches your day at sea in a completely new way. I’m thrilled by how this collaboration expands adventures on the water, bringing new levels of exploration and fun." - Jan-Erik Viitala, Founding Partner, Axopar Boats
