New Boats: Axopar Debuts 38XC Cross Cabin in Düsseldorf

February 26. 2026

The Axopar 38 XC Cross Cabin made its global debut at Boot Düsseldorf 2026. The range will expand during the summer and fall of 2026 with the introduction of the all-new Axopar 38 Sun Top and Axopar 38 Cross Top — two models that further broaden the versatility of the 38 platform. Both models share the same core features and functionalities as the Axopar 38 XC Cross Cabin, building on Axopar’s philosophy of creating multiple functional and social spaces on board.

Comfort and livability are central to the Axopar 38 range. With the capacity to comfortably accommodate up to twelve people and four distinct yet connected living areas — the bow, front cabin, wheelhouse, and aft deck — the Axopar 38 creates a sense of openness, flow, and social connection throughout the boat.  

The Axopar 38 Sun Top is tailored for those who value open boating, combining an open layout with a fixed sunroof that offers shelter without sacrificing the feeling of being outdoors. It is well suited for socializing, al fresco dining, and watersports, while remaining comfortable for longer passages. 

The Axopar 38 Cross Top blends elements of open and enclosed boating, featuring a protective windshield that reduces wind, rain, and glare while preserving excellent visibility. It is a natural choice for longer drives for boaters seeking an engaging driving experience combined with extended usability and functionality in different weather conditions. Both models can be enclosed with roll-down canopies, enabling confident all-weather boating while maintaining a bright and open onboard atmosphere.

Nimbus 365 Coupe – A real long-stay cruising boat for exploring

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
