Axopar Powers Ahead in Florida with Major U.S. Expansion

By Sophia Spanton

Finnish adventure boat builder Axopar Boats is making waves once again, announcing a bold new phase in its U.S. expansion with five new Florida dealership locations in partnership with OneWater Marine Inc. The move cements Axopar’s footprint across one of the world’s most influential boating markets, bringing its award‑winning fleet even closer to the heart of America’s boating lifestyle.

With thirteen OneWater‑operated retail sites now spanning the state, Axopar’s momentum in Florida is nothing short of impressive. From Miami to Marco Island, every new dealership enhances accessibility for customers eager to experience the brand’s unmistakable blend of Scandinavian design, performance innovation, and outdoor adventure.

This announcement builds on Axopar and OneWater Marine’s successful 2025 collaboration, which first brought the Finnish brand’s distinctive boats to a wider U.S. audience. The extended agreement now positions OneWater as Axopar’s representative across Florida, supported by an expanded network that includes Walker’s Marine in Fort Myers and Marco Island, and Sundance Marine in Miami, Pompano Beach, and Jensen Beach.

Each new location will deliver an immersive Axopar experience, from hands‑on sea trials to tailored service, expert maintenance, and a truly connected ownership journey. It also promises faster delivery times, stronger post‑sales support, and a unified retail presence that ensures Florida boaters have easy access to everything Axopar stands for.

'Florida is one of the most dynamic boating markets in the world, and this strengthened partnership with OneWater Marine allows us to serve customers across the state with greater efficiency and consistency,' said Kari Kulojärvi, CEO of Axopar Boats. 'We’ve listened to our customers and partners, and we know that seamless access to Axopar, supported by knowledgeable teams and reliable service, is what truly elevates the ownership experience.'

Since its founding in 2014, Axopar has redefined what modern adventure boating looks like, blending Nordic minimalism with offshore capability and an enduring sense of discovery. Its fleet now spans 7 to 13.5 metres, including two all‑electric AX/E models, each engineered for versatility, efficiency, and pure exhilaration.

Paired with the scale and expertise of OneWater Marine, one of the United States’ fastest‑growing premium marine retailers, Axopar’s next chapter in Florida represents more than expansion, it’s a celebration of innovation, lifestyle, and the freedom to explore.
