Genoa Show: 15 motorboats not to be missed from 8 to 15 meters
AXOPAR 28 CABIN
The latest news from the Axopar shipyard, the new Axopar 28 Cabin, is ready for its international world debut in Genoa. The shipyard’s “load-bearing” model is 9 metres long and is a small but absolutely multifunctional boat. Thanks to the suggestions given by customers who had the chance to try the previous version, the Axopar 28 Cabin in version 2021 is completely renewed. The main modification concerns the new steering console and instrumentation. The Simrad technology integrated with the Mercury outboard engines will create an integrated system. On the outside, the boat’s versatility (based on a young and “adventurous” owner) provides an optional luggage rack to carry bicycles, kayaks and SUP board, etc. The beach has now been increased in size to simplify the ascent and descent.

CASTAGNOLA HERITAGE 9.9
Wood and carbon fiber. The combination of these two materials is the base of the new Heritage 9.9. The first example of a range of yachts built by Castagnola Yacht, now directed by Gabriele Maestri, grandson of the founder Giovanni Castagnola. This boat is versatile and allows the owner to a lot of ways of use: from the tender for large yachts to day-cruiser. The project involved Nauta Design, which signed the lines in collaboration with Francesco Rogantin’s studio, which followed the naval architecture. The hull is 10.91 meters long overall and has a solid mahogany surface coated, through the infusion process, with a thin layer of carbon fiber and epoxy resin. The propulsion is guaranteed by a pair of 320 horsepower Yanmars that ensure a cruising speed of 33 knots and a top speed of 39 knots. At the bow, space has been created for a cabin with a double bed served by a bathroom. The marketing is entrusted to Equinox Yachts International.

AXOPAR 37
The Axopar 37 was one of the hottest new additions to the Düsseldorf showroom. The hull and engine, a double outboard with 300 horsepower, do not hide a boat instinct to have fun, especially in the “Spyder” version. The other two models available are the Cabin and the Sun-top. If we take the more “Mediterranean” version, the Sun-top, we discover a boat suitable for all seasons. The secret of the low average price for this model (the average price for a boat ready to sail with engines is 190.000 €, excluding VAT) is due to great engineering and large-scale production work.

To give the boat an even more aggressive look, the Centrostiledesign design studio, together with the shipyard, decided to opt for a sporty carbon fiber T-top: thanks to the material used, it is possible to significantly reduce the weight of this component while maintaining the same rigidity.
