Day Yacht · 38 ft · Up to 13 guests
A 38 ft open day boat with a bow sunpad, a table in the cockpit and a cabin below, for up to 13 guests on Biscayne Bay.
The Axopar 38 is a 38 ft open day boat for up to 13 guests, with a white hull, dark trim and a T-top roof over the helm. She suits a group that wants wide-open deck space and the skyline within sight: friends on a weekend, a birthday afternoon or visitors seeing Miami from the water.
Walk her from the bow. A cushioned sunpad with teak trim spreads across the foredeck, ahead of a curved windscreen. In the cockpit, a white table stands between the bench by the helm and a lounge of tan cushions at the stern. Two outboard engines sit on the transom, with a teak swim platform and a ladder beside them. Below deck, a cabin holds a double berth under skylight hatches, plus a sofa and a wood-grain cabinet.
Four hours ($1,400) fit a loop past Star Island with the skyline behind you. Six hours ($1,900) leave time for a swim stop at the Haulover sandbar, and eight hours ($2,500) stretch to Monument Island and a slow run home as the light goes.
Compare with other speed boats in Miami or see the sandbars around Miami.
Almost everything happens on one open level: a sunpad on the bow, a table in the cockpit and a lounge across the stern, with a T-top for partial shade. A cabin below deck adds a double berth and a sofa.
The bench beside the helm and the stern lounge take most of the group around the table. The bow sunpad seats more in the sun, and the cabin sofa holds a few who want to be out of the wind. Guests move between the three areas as the day goes on.
The cabin has a double berth with pillows under skylight hatches, a sofa along one side and a wood-grain cabinet. It suits a change of clothes, a rest or a few minutes in the shade.
Four hours work for a single loop with the skyline and one stop. With six hours there is time for a long swim at a sandbar and the run back before dark. Eight hours add a second stop, for example the sandbar and then a slow cruise along the islands.
The T-top covers the helm and part of the cockpit, so the table area is partly shaded. The bow sunpad is open to the sun, and the cabin below deck gives full shade when guests want it.
