The Axopar 37 has retained the top sales position in the outboard-powered 35-40ft class in the United States for the second year running. The figures come from USCG registrations, state departments of motor vehicles, and Statistical Surveys Inc. retail data - credible commercial sources rather than manufacturer self-reporting. For captains and project managers evaluating the 37 as a tender or chase-boat option, the volume of units in service matters: parts availability, crew familiarity, and resale values are all easier to manage when a hull has genuine market depth behind it.
Why the sales data matters to your programme
A boat that leads its segment for two consecutive years in the world's largest recreational boating market is not an anomaly. It means the hull has been stress-tested by a wide range of operators across a wide range of conditions. Axopar reports that over 50 Axopar 37 units are in active governmental use in the UAE alone, and the model has become a recognised choice as a superyacht chase boat in multiple markets. That operational breadth is relevant when you are specifying a vessel that may need to perform reliably day after day, season after season, with rotating crew.
The sustained demand also supports resale value. A thin secondary market drives depreciation; a deep one with consistent buyer interest does the opposite. Axopar cites low depreciation as a feature of the 37's ownership proposition, and the volume of registrations supports that claim more credibly than any marketing statement could.
What the hull offers in practice
The 37 is available in three body configurations - XC Cross Cabin, Sun Top, and Spyder - which means your programme can match the superstructure to the operating environment rather than accepting a one-size compromise. The outboard installation keeps the transom clear for water-toy deployment and simplifies maintenance cycles in remote locations where inboard servicing infrastructure may not be available.
Axopar describes the cruising band as 20-40 knots, with fuel economy cited as best-in-class across that range. That is a practical corridor for a superyacht tender: fast enough to run guests to shore or collect provisions efficiently, economical enough that the fuel bill does not become a daily point of friction. The gullwing door arrangement on the cabin variants opens the forward section to the deck, which translates to useful flexibility when loading passengers or equipment at a swim platform.
The Iconic Edition
In 2025 Axopar introduced the Iconic Edition variant of the 37 range, offering additional specification content, revised colour options, and revised value positioning. The Iconic Edition does not alter the underlying hull or drivetrain; it is a specification tier added in recognition of the model's market position. Captains evaluating new-build options should confirm current Iconic Edition availability with their regional Axopar dealer, as the model sits alongside - rather than replacing - the standard 37 range.
Manufacturer context
Axopar is a Finland-based manufacturer that designs in Finland and builds in Poland. The company has delivered over 7,500 boats since founding in 2014, operates a dealer network across more than 50 countries, and reported a group turnover of 197.2 million euros in 2024. North America is cited as its largest single market, which gives the US sales leadership figure additional weight: this is not a niche performance in a secondary territory.
