The smaller the boat, the more innovation and efficient use of space. I really like them!!! And of course it's great that you also pay attention to these types of ships, Nick!

[@SmokeCheeba]

This is why I prefer seeing the crew quarters rather than the guest quarters. I love seeing smart use of space and how the designers figured out how to fit everything in and still have it work.

[@AIRDRAC]

What a clever boat! I love how well they've managed to use every little bit of the hull to it's maximal potential!

[@FLGurl]

So much room for this size of vessel. Thank you for such a great tour showing us all the nooks and crannies for all the bits and bobs! 🍷

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@kirkwilliams4942]

Love the gunnel access on port and stbd. an ABSOLUTE MUST. These other manufacturers that offset their cabins or have no access must not actually use their boats. You do not always have a choice which side you have to pull up to a doc or another boat. Plus, as my wife keeps pointing out, if she can't easily get on/off the boat and get to lines and fenders it's a no go:-) She is smart....

[@pageant1fd]

I’m sure that boat ticks many boxes for numerous boating weekenders . Not for my liking but I can appreciate it s appeal. Thanks for sharing sir

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Fair enough!

[@rodwilliams4170]

It’s like the Swiss Army Knife of boats!! Awesome!!!

[@bobuncle8704]

I remember when you toured your first Axopar. Axopar, you’ve come a long way baby. 👍👍

[@chrilliB123]

The Axopar design is very hot, you even get a second bed, but believe it or believe it not, that is located above the toilet. Seriously, I had the opportunity to look at an Axopar 45 XC Cross Cabin at the Düsseldorf Boat Show last year. And I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised by the boat, because it really has a lot of clever ideas in it. So thank you for introducing the 'little sister'.

[@moejaime2654]

Yes Nick the poop shoot is a very important feature ! In fact I consider it the most important on a small boat !

[@Steve-Cross]

When you’re 3 miles out, nothing wrong with hanging your bum over the edge. 😂

[@pistonburner6448]

@@Steve-Cross Add a sailing-type harness to comfortably hang far out over the side! Or use a parasailing setup for bathroom activities.

[@janethowe8812]

Yes, it is very different. I really appreciate seeing some of these smaller boats. Definitely not a boat you could spend a week on. However, as noted, it has a different purpose. They've used every inch of space. I'm claustrophobic, so I couldn't use either sleeping area. But still a nice boat for day cruising.

[@ANDREWWILLIAMS-ht5rg]

We saw the 29 too at the Swanwick boat show. Currently have a 28 and we were very impressed with the raft of improvements on the 29. Agreed, the bed-toilet is a bit of a compromise (as Nick says, most folk use the harbour facilities as much as possible) but overall the family fun these boats deliver at the price is amazing.

[@IRguyIR]

Try to use the cabins while it's raining. And no ventilation in any of those. You have to close them during the night, or everything will get wet.......

[@royalgm]

It's really a go fast from point A to point B boat. Even the 37XC is like that. The 45XC is a bit better, but the heads are still abysmal on it.

[@kirkwilliams4942]

There is TONS of ventilation, not sure what you're referring to.

[@neilhaslam4068]

I do enjoy these smaller boats! Packaging somewhat compromised, if viewed compared to a cruising sports boat, but adds a layer of usability when compared to a more out-and-out open sports boat. Thanks for the tour!

[@seanogden927]

That is a great little boat for the day / weekend, well equipped and enough room for its size. Nice tour Nick thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@Dorset_Dave]

Congrats on 500k Nick! I hope you had an ice cream from that lovely little caravan I saw 4 minutes in.

[@fidel681]

What an unusual, fascinating, boat. Great use of space and handy for skipping along the coast, laying up and enjoying the scenery. Love it 😊

[@tonybazz53]

Very innovative young person’s transformer boat. Lots of performance mixed with a dash of amenities. Makes me wonder what the next couple of decades will bring us. Thanks Nick for bringing a wide variety of vessels to our attention. I found this little pocket rocket very interesting. We both know that knocking on the door of fifty knots for a family style boat qualifies as a rocket😎

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it! 😄

[@Bob8091]

As ever thanks Nick. Not one for me with my senior years. A weekend boat for young 'uns who don't mind crahing out and arranging cushions.😊

[@pistonburner6448]

Add a hammock in the main cabin area = voilá! (In case you're wondering how old people are supposed to get out of a hammock: mount the hammock on electric winches with a remote control so you can lower yourself to the floor if you can't otherwise get out...or lower one end to the floor.)

[@PabloC.Bucher]

Love these small boat tours!! Its not just the price thats relatable but the ability to tow with a pickup truck

[@alanpaton694]

Absolute cracking boat. Very well thought out. I personally wouldn’t have as powerful engines and sacrifice speed for economy. It’s the stupid details that catch my eye, like the steps into the sleeping area and the sides of the seats being created from wood and not stainless or grp. Seems very reasonably priced also. Affordable to many

[@pistonburner6448]

I hope it's not a cracking boat...for the sake of all the customers!

[@Kim_Jensen]

Thank you for a tour of an Axopar concept that just are getting more and more fefined 😀

[@romaingautiez7259]

Maybe I missed it but I'd say a shower would be a plus. Thanks for the tour of this surprising "camping at sea" boat !

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome!

[@musicianshotsheet4806]

Axopar is fast moving up in my caviar dreams just because of how cleverly they use space. Very versatile.

[@treborretsnom6186]

I love this 👍 adventure perfect. I'd be interested in one that is more cruiser in hull and distance performance , yes i understand it's not that 🫡😁 i really like the entire vessel, I'd be looking to get inland more often. Canal, river, large lakes... I'm thinking there is room for a little more crossover. Super cool boat 👍 thanks Nick

[@TheJimODonovan]

2:49. I'll edit that out later. WOW! He did.

[@marcturner3647]

O M G , Nick you have Gasterd my Flabber i was thinking were do you sleep, amazing just amazing i think it’s brilliant and what a fun boat she is and for the price well you can’t get better than that. The innovation is fantastic 👏👏👏👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you liked it 🙂

[@mev202]

What Nick didn't show us is the table folds out to a jacuzzi, the engine doubles as a BBQ and the roof is actually a golf course. I love boats that make use of all the space in such innovative ways.

[@COYSMike]

Trying to fit too much into too small of a boat. I mean the toilet bed is hilarious

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

You have your fan club with you again.. Nice little boat to potter about in. Thanks for showing us around Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@frankscottsr.4529]

A nice smart Yacht. Good price also. A lot of thinking into this vehicle.

[@paroxiaa]

Holy shit I was surprised when you show where the toilet is. Maximizing space to the finest.

[@dangermouse8466]

Nick, let me understand this right, that round hole thingy at the back of the boat is for tying a rope on and then the other end is for my McVittee's Digestives, yes? To cool them down from melting in the heat, yes? Some odd chap told me the other day that a fridge is for cooling things. I told him, no it can't be because it's just a place to store valuables. I know this because you kindly showed us the insides of a fridge some day about a month or so back. Appreciate that very much!!

[@mytube001]

Airport boarding stairs! :)

[@gruntlife0341]

Slick boat. Seems like a lot of fun.

[@rjmjr410]

This is a sweet little craft. Stuff like this I would never see if not for you Nick. Thanks for serving up a great variety of boats for us!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@leecolley139]

Very nice! I do like a day-boat that actually has a toilet and even a proper bed area. There are times when my wife or daughter want to nap while I am fishing. This cabin area is just great for that.

[@Joe_1sr9]

Great action boat like you said Nick. Congratulations on half a million followers. Here’s to a million. Cheers

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks!

[@mattbromhead323]

I love this style of boat. So many makes to choose from nowadays.

Hi nick, And thank you for again a great show from you this time this brand new Axopar 29 XC a good looking speedboat with some nice accomodation onboard sleeps four when needed even a toilet and sink in the forward space very need done but not a yacht what I like or change the outboard for electric ones but a great show ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great day boat or weekender! Especially if you want to get somewhere fast.

[@harveyg3958]

Well done on 500K subscribers lets get to a MILLION

[@stever7732]

Thank you for that tour. I like that boat and it is one I could afford to buy new. I am wondering why stepped hulls are not more widely used.

[@jgriff3218]

Really like this as a weekender. Plenty of fishing room. Only thing I am not to keen on is the placement of the circuit panel.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

By no means a yacht but it could be a tender or a dayboat. The packaging is outstanding...with the exception of no cooking facilities. The possible addition of that barbecue pod you mentioned would be an important improvement.

[@georgiosgeorgouletis4297]

Excellent presentation from Nick as usual , but not the boat that I would choose. I think a Merry Fisher 895 has a lot more to offer.

[@mariocostanzo4116]

In terms of space, the Merry Fisher offers much more. The problem arises when navigating in less that obtimal sea conditions, where the Axopar is absolutely superior.

[@pistonburner6448]

Add a removable center part of the captain's seat cushion and make that a 2nd toilet! 😅 That brings full access from both cabins to a nightly toilet visit!

[@chrisoleary9876]

Thanks Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're welcome!

[@dangermouse8466]

I never knew I could take a mountain bike on the water. How awesome is that! I guess the air in the tyres make them float. 😛

That’s the Sun Top without the enclosed cockpit but I like the Cross Top because it’s a hybrid of both

[@andyharris30]

I am regularly out in the Solent in either a RHIB or small sports boat and on a "typical Solent" day we are bashed around like crazy. I see a lot of Axopars and they look like they are almost gliding. Any owners here can attest to that? I assume they are great boats for "typical Solent" weather

[@darrylalford8879]

Amazing !! What an absolutely fun boat !! Thank you !!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

At the beginning when Nick was on the ground walking around the boat, was I the only one to think "I really hope this boat has a couple of "MOO" engines"?

Just a bit too big to tow on the road in the UK, but still, great boat. I could see me swapping my Highfield rib for one of these in a few years when the family is a bit older, and the Axopars are available on the used market. I'd go for a single 350 or 400 rather than twins. Less servicing costs, better fuel consumption.
