Hottest boat of the year | Exclusive Axopar 29 tour by the man behind it | Motor Boat & Yachting 

and very happy that Jan-Erik showed the hidden washbasin above the loo, and the hidden storage behind the seats - wonderful boat!

Very different types of boats, this is a walkaround design that focuses on more usable deckspace at the expense of cabin space, it has a full separate seating/subathing area at the bow. It's more focused on dayboating or as it is very popular in scandinavia and finland, commuting. I think you should look at the front cabin as a separate toilet with enough space to sleep in if you REALLY have to, like your kid having a nap, but i'd take a more permanent toilet/washbasin and storage with no sleeping solution. The wetbar is in prototype stage he shows it at the crosscabin. The DC88 is a great boat a true weekender with proper cabin and toilet, very different style. If you want the walkaround/adventure style with weekender cabin with separate toilet and better wetbar, take a look at the RYCK 280 or the Dromeas 28WA. They might not suit your needs, but i wouldn't dismiss them as useless, they are respected and popular for good reason.

@@adiaz2494 So you are saying Axopar is just using the available space poorly, as it doesn't offer 'more' in any category, just 'less' really. The bow of the Yamarin is easily accessible and spacious for sunbathing, the Axopar has no advantage there through its wasteful walkaround design. The Yamarin also seats the same number of people and the wet bar looks much more usable. And then the cabin... I know all the boats you mention, probably better than you, given your strange, factually incorrect perception of the Axopar. The Yamarin still reigns supreme, closely followed by Finnmaster T9 and Flipper DC 900. Competitors from Beneteau and Jeanneau offer even more space, but sit too tall in the water for my liking.

@@TheUrbanEpicure No, that's not what I'm saying, you really are blinded by your own preconception. It seats 4-6 in the bow with a table that transform into a sunbed the Yamarin only offers a sunbathing area to 2-3 people, they use the space in their bow differently for a different purpose, if you can't see it you may want to work a bit on your "factual perception". The walkaround design offer easier movement with safe high bulwarks from bow to stern, meaning you're in the boat all the time, not on it. These are two different designs with different priorities resulting in boats in different categories.....Given your dogged determenation to compare apples to oranges, walkaround adventureboats to cabin cruisers, I'm not gonna take your supposed expertise at face value, sorry....

@TheUrbanEpicure : You don’t have any clue about boating and how to use the space. This Axopar 29 is truly innovative. The seating area at the back, with the enless options is perfect. The bow is very well design, the fuel efficiency is impressive, the price is reasonable, the open roof is huge, ..l If you don’t like this Axopar 29 and you don’t see the innovation I do recommend one or all the following actions: - buy new glasses - watch the video again at reduced spped. I would advise to watch the video with an adult that can explain you what you see. - change the hobby, caravaning, gardening, cooking, …
