Axopar 22 T-Top Introduction

Ideally suited to boating in Southeast Asia where protection from the ever-enduring suns rays is a must, Axopar has just announced the Axopar 22 T-Top as the latest addition to Axopar’s 22 footer range of boats.

The ‘full-open’ Axopar 22 Spyder was launched in December last year, and the Axopar 22 T-Top takes the ownership experience even further. The all-weather T-Top roof consists of a fixed canvas top within a GRP surround, mounted to a raked-back, cool-looking, black painted aluminium targa-frame.

With substantial headroom, the cleverly proportioned size and shape of the T-Top roof will ensure a good deal of protection from the elements, both for those seated at the driving console and for those seated in the areas immediately behind.

The T-Top roof is also available with an optional folding canvas top that will open up the cockpit to the sun when wanted, or stay closed for maximum shade.

The T-Top roof is also available for both the Axopar x Jobe Revolve and Revolve XXII special edition models. The roof is white GRP on the Revolve, and when choosing the Revolve XXII it comes with the same hand painted special turquoise colour as the boat.

The All New Axopar 22 Spyder

Axopar announced their entry-level boat – the 22 Spyder – in July of this year and we’re expecting the official launch at the Boot Düsseldorf show in January 2021.

With a price tag in the region of just €49,000 ‘turn-key ready’ at the factory and inclusive of a Mercury F115hp outboard and 19% VAT, the forthcoming Axopar 22 will continue this market-leading, favourable trend.

A partnership between Axopar and Jobe Watersports has produced two unique versions of the all new Axopar – the Axopar x Jobe Revolve (above) – with its white hull and Jobe graphics package, featuring neon green detailing and further complemented by interior detailing in turquoise – and for the ultimate Jobe experience, the Axopar x Jobe Revolve XXII (below) – with a custom-made hand painted special turquoise colour throughout the whole boat, accompanied by an extended full-size ‘Revolve’ hull-wrap graphics.

Offering first-in-class handling, seaworthiness and safety, combined with the efficiency and comfort that its bigger 28ft and 37ft siblings are renowned for. A smart boat that packs a punch and will turn heads wherever you go, and all without breaking the bank!

Axopar 22 Spyder is capable of commuting comfortably in changeable conditions and remains predictable and logical in its behaviour, no matter what weather conditions are thrown at it.
