Six Axopar models cover the core range
The Axopar display is headed by the 45 Cross Top and includes three variants from the new 38 family: the 38 Cross Top, 38 XC Cross Cabin and 38 Sun Top. The 29 XC Cross Cabin and 29 Sun Top complete the six-model Axopar fleet planned for Fort Lauderdale.
That spread gives visitors direct access to enclosed, semi-open and open-deck configurations across several size classes. It also makes the display particularly useful for buyers who want to compare how different roof, cabin and cockpit arrangements affect year-round usability without moving beyond the owner-operated luxury-boat sector.
The new 38 family is central to the display
Axopar’s 38 range is one of the most important recent additions to the company’s portfolio. The platform is designed to retain the brand’s sharp handling and adventure-oriented character while offering more space, more layout flexibility and a more mature cruising proposition than the outgoing generation.
Showing three 38 variants together allows prospective owners to compare protection, ventilation and social space around the same basic size. The XC Cross Cabin prioritises shelter, the Sun Top keeps the deck more open, and the Cross Top aims to balance both approaches.
BRABUS Marine adds the performance end of the stand
Two BRABUS Marine boats are also listed for the show: the Shadow 1000 XC Cross Cabin and Shadow 1500 XC Cross Cabin. They extend the display into the high-performance luxury sector, pairing Axopar-derived hull architecture with more powerful propulsion, upgraded equipment and the styling treatment associated with the BRABUS brand.
For LYG readers, the combined stand therefore covers a wide range of use cases without leaving the sub-24-metre market. Owners can move from practical adventure boats to premium performance cruisers while retaining relatively compact dimensions and straightforward marina access.
Fort Lauderdale offers a major US comparison point
The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show runs from October 28 to November 1, 2026. Axopar says the display will include representatives from its dealer network alongside the boats, giving visitors the opportunity to compare models and discuss ownership, specification and regional support in one place.
The US market remains strategically important for the Finnish brand, and Fort Lauderdale provides one of the season’s largest opportunities to put multiple current models in front of buyers. With eight boats from two related brands, the display should be one of Axopar’s broadest North American presentations of the year.
