New boats: Axopar 29 Sun Top

Axopar 29 Sun Top

June 27, 2024

Jan-Erik Viitala the surprisingly hands-on founding partner of Axopar takes us on a walk through the new Suntop 29.

The model’s new optional innovative seating layout entirely transforms the sociability onboard the 29 Sun Top. This new U sofa configuration, together with a large, foldable hi-lo table, creates a comfortable seating arrangement around the cockpit. The large aft backrest has four different positions that can easily be changed to truly utilize the seating or lounging to the maximum. The hi-lo table also turns into a large sun bed, and with this you can have a second lounging area onboard accompanying the fore deck lounge area, perfect for a day out at anchor.

…you understand now why you came this way.
