Axopar 37 XC Cross Cabin

Billed as a crossover between traditional American center consoles and sleek European cabin cruisers, the new Axopar 37 XC (37’ 9” LOA, 11’ beam) still qualifies as a center console but with a different purpose and a futuristic appeal.

The 37 XC is an all-around vessel for fishing, cruising, or whatever due to its easy indoor/outdoor versatility. The truly eye-catching feature is the gullwing doors that open to reveal a cabin for two below. In inclement weather, the closed doors create a cozy cabin, but when it’s sunny and the doors are aloft, you can sit inside and never feel like you’re “below.” No other center console on our list, or really anywhere, can boast this unique design.

The 37 XC has a twin-stepped, knife-like hull that makes driving it pure joy. Sharp cornering, a responsive helm, and excellent fuel economy will make you never want to drop anchor. axopar.fi
