THE BRAND
With an HQ in Helsinki and an impressive new 10,000m² shipyard in Poland, Saxdor Yachts has been on a fast track to big things since day one.
Founded in 2019, this bright young Finnish brand already boasts a dealer network spanning 37 countries and a raft of prestigious international awards – and much of that success is down to the know-how of founder and designer, Sakari Mattila. He has already helped mastermind several celebrated sportsboat brands, including Axopar, Paragon, Aquador and XO, and Saxdor is arguably his most impressive to date. By channelling his respect for “Italian design, American functionality, German quality and French pricing”, and dovetailing that with the advanced ergonomics of the “Scandinavian way of boating”, Saxdor boats has already become known for its engaging looks, quality of finish, custom-friendly layouts and high-performance hulls.
THE RANGE
Compact though it might be, Saxdor’s five-model fleet is bursting with design intelligence.
Available in Sport and Sport Pro variants, the original 200 model marries the manageable proportions of a personal watercraft with the layout and practicality of an outboard-powered 20ft runabout. And at nearly 34ft with a 10ft beam and an expandable aft deck, the Saxdor 320 ramps up the versatility even more. Available in open (GTR), hardtop (GTO) and pilothouse (GTC) variants, it uses the same twin-stepped hull form as the 200, but with the optional twin 300hp outboards it is capable of pushing well beyond the 50-knot mark.
With four additional models in development, including a GT variant of the 320, plus a trio of new 400 line models, the acclaimed Saxdor fleet looks well placed to add plenty of fresh trophies to its awards’ cabinet.
