About this tender
The Axopar 45 Cross Top sits at the top of the Finnish yard's current production range and represents the open-deck configuration of the 45 platform - no full cabin forward, but a structural cross-top hardtop that provides meaningful shade and a mounting surface for electronics and lighting without closing the boat in. For a superyacht programme that wants a capable day tender or coastal-water chase boat that a crew can operate and maintain without specialist support, the format is a sensible one.
The 45 Cross Top shares its hull with the XC Cross Cabin and Sun Top variants, so the platform's underlying geometry is consistent across the range. What differs is the superstructure: the Cross Top's hardtop runs across the beam rather than as a full enclosure, preserving sightlines and cockpit airflow while giving helm and guests overhead cover. We'd put it alongside other Finnish and Scandinavian production builds in the 13-14 metre class where the value proposition is robust construction and a wide dealer network rather than bespoke yard customisation.
The source page for this model is primarily a navigation and brand page; Axopar has not published full dimensional or performance specifications within the scraped content. Buyers and captains should request a full specification sheet directly from an Axopar dealer before making purchasing decisions. We have noted all confirmed facts below and omitted figures that cannot be verified from the manufacturer's own published content.
Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
The defining feature of this variant is the structural cross-top hardtop, which spans the beam to provide overhead protection at the helm and guest positions without enclosing the cockpit. It is the middle ground in the 45 range, sitting between the open Sun Top and the full XC Cross Cabin.
At 45 feet, this is the largest platform Axopar currently offers in its conventional engine range. That gives it a meaningful advantage in deck volume and sea-keeping over the 37 and 38 series, which matters when the brief includes extended coastal passages or a larger guest count.
The 45 platform is offered in three configurations - XC Cross Cabin, Cross Top, and Sun Top - all sharing the same hull. For a programme evaluating the range, this means the naval architecture and structural engineering are common; the choice of variant is primarily about cockpit environment and intended use.
