About this tender
The Axopar 37 Sun Top is the build we point captains toward when a programme needs a capable, fast open tender with a fixed hardtop and enough deck space to run a credible day-boat role alongside its mothership duties. It sits in the middle of the Axopar 37 range, between the fully enclosed Cross Cabin and the open Spyder, and that positioning is deliberate - the sun top gives meaningful sun and light rain protection without closing off the deck or adding the weight of a full cabin structure.
Axopar builds the 37 series in GRP, and the hull form is a well-proven deep-V geometry that has accumulated a substantial number of sea miles across the range since the platform launched. The outboard installation keeps the transom clean and the boat easily serviceable in remote anchorages - a practical advantage when your support infrastructure is the mothership herself rather than a yard around the corner.
We would put the 37 Sun Top alongside Finnish-built open tenders in the 11-metre class as a value-for-specification proposition. The configurator allows meaningful personalisation of upholstery, helm electronics, and deck layout, which matters when the boat is being specified to complement a specific yacht programme rather than sitting on a dealer's pontoon. Build quality is consistent with Axopar's volume production at their Finnish facility.
Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
The integrated hardtop provides shelter at the helm and over the forward seating area without the weight or visual bulk of a full cross-cabin structure. It is a practical compromise for programmes that operate in varied weather but want to preserve the open-boat character and deck accessibility.
The outboard installation leaves the transom unobstructed, simplifying swim platform access and making engine servicing straightforward in remote locations. For a mothership-based programme, the ability to swap or service outboards without specialist yard access is a genuine operational benefit.
The 37 series uses a well-proven deep-V hull in GRP construction. The geometry delivers a predictable, confidence-inspiring ride in a chop - relevant when you are running guests between yacht and shore in conditions that are less than flat.
Axopar's online configurator supports meaningful specification choices across upholstery colour and material, helm electronics packages, and optional deck features. For a superyacht tender order, this allows the boat to be matched closely to the mothership's interior palette and onboard equipment standards.
