We are proud to announce that the new Saxdor 320 GTC has been nominated for the European Power Boat Of The Year 2022. After a highly successful first year with a total of three prestigious awards and nominations for our first boat Saxdor 200, we did it again! The winner will be announced in January 2022.
At the recent Southampton Boat Show, MBY editor Hugo Andreae took the chance to tour the Saxdor 320 GTC, which was making its UK debut. What we can tell you is that Saxdor’s talent for innovation shows no signs of slowing. The full-beam design makes for a surprisingly roomy wheelhouse with a door at the forward end giving access to the bow. It does mean losing the walk-around decks (you can just about shuffle along with both side decks thanks to a concealed handrail in the roof) but other than the slight hassle of deploying fenders from either end or…

When evaluating the Saxdor 320 GTO, the professional jury of the Dutch Powerboat of the Year 2021, sees a versatile and accessible boat with a refreshing, innovative design. The boat appeals to a young audience and offers various inventive solutions that optimize the space onboard with its modern design. For example, the benches in the open cockpit can be folded in different ways so that passengers can watch the sailing direction with several people, dine from the back or create a large sunbed. Furthermore, a fold-out section on either side of the hull makes the open cockpit one meter wider…
The Saxdor crew is proud to announce that Saxdor 320 GTO is one of 2021 Best Of Boats Award finalists in the category of “Best for Fun” The Saxdor 320 GTO is a daring motor boat capable of impressing everyone; not surprisingly, her futuristic designs convinced the Best of Boats 2021 jury, which rightly nominated her in the “Best for fun” category. The judges were delighted by the sleek and spacious design. And it certainly is. Just what the market is searching for can be found on the Saxdor 320 GTO, where the trend has been completely reinvented, providing new proportions that…
Founded in 1977, the Cannes boat show takes place in the beautiful French city every September and showcases almost 600 boats, including motor yachts, super yachts, catamarans, tenders and sailing yachts. As Saxdor Yachts has a strong presence in Cannes we exhibited our Saxdor 200, Saxdor 320 GTO, and the Saxdor 320 GTC outboard, which has already been a great hit this year. We welcome the high quality of visitors together with the Saxdor dealer network, the high number of people who visited the event with clear intent. We showed many interested parties around and were pleased to confirm orders both…
Any concerns that the start-up Finnish brand’s second boat might not live up to the hype were soon blown away during Hugo’s exclusive test of an early pre-production version of the Saxdor 320 GTO… It doesn’t seem right to start a review of something as dynamic and stylish as the new Saxdor 320 GTO with something as dry and unsexy as a price tag but when that figure is £105,626 inc VAT for one of the coolest 33ft boats we’ve ever clapped eyes on, it’s rather hard to ignore. It’s not even as if that’s for a stripped-out special with…
Saxdor, for such a young company, certainly isn’t resting on its laurels and has launched the 320 GTO in the wake of collecting a Highly Commended prize for its entry-level 200 Sport at the 2021 Motor Boat Awards. The starting price (with a single 300hp Mercury outboard) is eye-catching enough but then there’s the twin-stepped hull, intelligent cockpit design and the standard-fit folding balconies. Plenty of time has clearly been taken by the design team lead by Sakari Mattila, previously of Aquador and Axopar amongst other brands, to ensure not an inch of space has gone to waste. With an extended sunpad on the foredeck…
This year for the first time, the “European Powerboat of the Year 2021” award took place virtually. ”Sporty, agile, and safe to drive: The Saxdor 200 Sport is a newcomer in the motorboat market and a really fun toy.

Saxdor 320 GTO is the second model in a new range from the Finnish company Saxdor Yachts.

With the Saxdor boats, of which there are currently two extremely popular 20-foot versions, four 32-footers worth seeing are in the starting blocks and three 40-foot models with an elegant Nordic feel are in the planning stage, wanted and one will put an exclamation mark. The motto is obviously to be different from the competition. In view of the 5.94 x 2.29 m measuring Saxdor 200 Sport, which is always delivered to customers in a package with a Mercury outboard, it can only be said, mission accomplished! The wedge-shaped plastic racer has an optimally balanced twin-step hull, which especially plays…
Saxdor 200 SPORT Saxdor Yachts is the “scooter” boat for all budgets, the latest idea of the Iconic designer Sakari Mattila. The seats, undoubtedly recall a scooter.

The Saxdor 200 Sport model for beginners to get: with the 100 hp Mercury engine (alternatively: 115 hp) and ready-to-drive, functional equipment. The Saxdor 200 Pro Sport, which is intended for the more experienced boater, not only has sophisticated, more elegant equipment with a sports steering wheel, trim tabs, and a soft anti-slip coating on the foredeck but also has sportier engines between 150 and 175 hp in its repertoire. Regardless of the variant – the Saxdor already makes a good impression on the jetty and looks almost like a shrunk mega-yacht tender. As an alternative to the standard jockey…

This 33ft 8in (10.3m) cabin cruiser, which uses the same twin-stepped hull and engine line-up us the previously announced 320 GTO, offers year-round usability thanks to its fully enclosed wheelhouse with sliding roof and multi-function aft doors with a section that drops down into the deck.
