When it comes to making a statement at a major boat show, Eyachts is not holding back for 2026. The company's display at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, running from 21 to 24 May, is set to be its most ambitious to date, spanning vessels from 29 to 45 feet and drawing together high-performance adventure boats, hybrid cruisers, and luxury day yachts under one banner. Australian premieres of the Axopar 45 Cross Top, the Axopar 38 Cross Cabin, and the Axopar 29 CCX headline the occasion, while Pardo Yachts will make its Queensland boat show debut through Eyachts, the brand's exclusive distributor across Australia and New Zealand.
The full lineup on display will include the Axopar 29 range, the Axopar 38 Cross Cabin, the Axopar 45 range, the Greenline 39, the Greenline 40, and the Pardo 43, giving visitors a rare opportunity to step aboard some of the most forward-thinking designs currently available on the market.
Peter Hrones, Managing Director of Eyachts, described the scale of what the company is bringing to the show: "Our 2026 display at Sanctuary Cove is truly our most diverse and exciting yet. From the premiere of the Axopar 38 to the groundbreaking Greenline hybrid range and the introduction of Pardo Yachts, we are bringing together some of the most innovative boats in the world. We look forward to showing Australian boaters how these vessels can transform their time on the water."
At the heart of the Eyachts stand sits the Australian premiere of the Axopar 38 Cross Cabin, the newest chapter in a lineage that has built a fiercely loyal following among adventure boaters around the globe. It is not a minor update to a familiar formula but a genuinely meaningful step forward, delivering a platform that is more refined, more capable, and more versatile than anything that has carried the name before.
The engineering foundation is a redesigned twin-stepped deep-V hull developed with hydrodynamics, weight distribution, and drivability as the primary concerns, with the onboard experience built outward from those principles. In practical terms, the result is a boat that sits composed at rest, holds a clean line at speed, and generates noticeably less noise underway, something achieved through extensive engineering work and acoustic testing. It is built for owners who want to venture further and stay out longer without trading away comfort or confidence to do so.
The enlarged wheelhouse gives the Axopar 38 Cross Cabin much of its character, offering real shelter for skipper and guests while preserving a genuine connection to the experience of being on the water. Improved airflow and a thoughtful relationship between the interior and the aft deck give the protected space a social quality, reinforced by details like the opening aft window that allows the wheelhouse and aft deck to effectively merge. Below decks, the configurable saloon bed adapts with equal ease to entertaining, relaxed cruising, or more purposeful adventure use.
For Australian conditions in particular, the Axopar 38 Cross Cabin presents a compelling argument. It handles long days across variable weather, transitions comfortably between seasons, and provides genuine protection from wind and spray, all while holding on to the open, social character that sits at the core of how Australians use their boats.
Alongside the Axopar 38 Cross Cabin, the complete Axopar 29 range will be on show, comprising the Axopar 29 Sun Top, the Axopar 29 Cross Cabin, and the Axopar 29 CCX, the last of which will also be making its Sanctuary Cove premiere.
The Axopar 29 CCX is the brand's response to the modern centre console crossover, pushing the range into serious fishing territory without letting go of the adventure credentials that define Axopar's identity. Maximum deck space, strong fishability, and open-air freedom are its core strengths, yet it remains equally comfortable on watersports runs, island-hopping trips, and relaxed days out with friends. A walkaround layout, smart storage integration, and a configurable aft deck give it genuine crossover appeal across the sport fishing and high-performance adventure categories. Developed with extensive input from owners, the Axopar 29 CCX pairs a fresh design language with measurable improvements in usability, comfort, and on-water functionality.
The Axopar 29 Sun Top and Axopar 29 Cross Cabin round out the trio. The Axopar 29 Sun Top leans into open-air social boating, with generous deck space and shade provided by the T-top, while the Axopar 29 Cross Cabin offers a fully enclosed helm and saloon for those who regularly face less predictable conditions. The three models show how much can be achieved within a single 29-foot platform configured to suit markedly different boating lives, all while maintaining the offshore performance, intelligent design, and adaptability the brand is built on.
The Axopar 45 range will feature prominently at the display as well, with both the Axopar 45 Sun Top and the Axopar 45 Cross Top on show. The Axopar 45 Cross Top will be appearing at Sanctuary Cove for the first time. Built around Axopar's signature twin-stepped hull, the Axopar 45 is engineered for owners with the ambition to go further offshore and stay out longer, pairing confident performance with a notably smooth and efficient ride even when conditions deteriorate.
The Axopar 45 Sun Top brings expansive open deck space and a sleek profile suited to everything from relaxed entertaining to energetic summer days on the water. The Axopar 45 Cross Top introduces a distinctive raked windscreen and extended hardtop, adding meaningful protection from wind and spray while preserving the walkaround feel and open character that make the platform so appealing. The two models together present the full breadth of what the Axopar 45 can be, depending on who is driving it and where they want to go.
Sustainable boating takes a prominent place in the Eyachts lineup through the Greenline hybrid range, with both the Greenline 39 and the Greenline 40 on display. These cruisers integrate hybrid or fully electric propulsion with large solar panel arrays, making it possible to move through the water silently and without emissions, entirely independent of shore power or onboard generators.
The Greenline 39 has built a strong reputation for practical comfort, bringing together a spacious layout, a sheltered cockpit, and bright, liveable interiors that create a genuine home afloat. The Greenline 40 takes the concept further with more refined design, greater solar capacity, and modern living spaces that bring a sense of luxury to environmentally conscious cruising. Both models suit the extended coastal exploration that Australia's waterways invite, offering a way to experience those environments while leaving a lighter footprint behind.
The other significant debut at the 2026 show is the Sanctuary Cove arrival of Pardo Yachts, represented by the Pardo 43. The Italian brand steps into Queensland boat show territory through Eyachts, and the Pardo 43 brings with it a strong international reputation as a walkaround dayboat that balances striking design with genuine on-water performance.
Crafted with the kind of attention to detail for which Italian boatbuilding is known, the Pardo 43 is celebrated for its spacious walkaround decks, elegantly finished interiors, and spirited performance that makes it a compelling choice for owners after a sophisticated day yacht that delivers at sea. Eyachts will also be sharing information at the show about the next-generation Pardo 43, due to arrive in Australia in late 2026, which introduces a redesigned hull, expanded living spaces, and advanced technology that develops the model further still.
With vessels covering adventure boating, luxury day yachts, and hybrid cruising across the full 29-to-45-foot range, the Eyachts presence at the 2026 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show shapes up as one of the standout displays of the event. The show runs from 21 to 24 May 2026 at Sanctuary Cove Marine Village, Queensland, with the Eyachts display located at the E Arm Entrance, opposite Georges Restaurant. Visitors are encouraged to register in advance to arrange a dedicated walkthrough of their preferred vessel with the Eyachts team.
