On size, the Goldfish 49 Open is the longer boat at 14.80 m LOA to 11.51 m. Both are rated for 12 guests. Drivetrains differ: the Axopar 37 Spyder runs outboard, the Goldfish 49 Open shaft.
These two are closely matched; the decision comes down to the specific brief, garage envelope, guest count, and the missions the boat has to cover. The table below lays out every spec side by side.
