What this builder is
Saxdor Yachts Oy was founded in 2019 by Sakari Mattila and is headquartered at Tammasaarenkatu 1 in Helsinki; in six years it has become one of Europe's fastest-growing boat builders, with more than 2,000 boats produced, nearly 1,000 people across Finland and Poland, and a network of over 180 dealer locations in more than 70 countries. Since March 2026 the company has been part of Malibu Boats Inc. The Saxdor Shipyard's four facilities at Ełk and Olecko in Poland cover almost 21,000 square metres, and two yards at Larsmo on Finland's west coast build the boats of 40 feet and up. The range is six size classes on vacuum-infused GRP twin-stepped hulls, all with outboard power: the 200 and 205 at 20 feet, the 270 GTO, the 320 GTC (enclosed all-weather cabin) and 320 GTO, the 340 GTWA walkaround, the 400 GTC, GTO and GTS, and the 460 GTC and GTS flagships with up to 1,275 hp on the transom. Every model page prints length, beam, draft excluding engines, certified passengers by design category, tanks, the outboard power range and a cruising or maximum speed range. Awards include the Best of Boats Awards 2025 (340 GTWA), the Yacht Style Awards 2025 (400 GTC and 460 GTC) and Japan Boat of the Year 2024 (320 GTC).
Who sails them
Saxdor owners are first-time and stepping-up powerboaters who want a modern, easy-to-drive outboard boat with a big-boat feel — Nordic and Mediterranean families, day-boaters and weekenders — who value fold-down terraces, walk-around decks, an enclosed wheelhouse on the GTC models and a price that a configurator and a published starting price make transparent.
Signature models
The 320 GTO, the boat that made the name, and the 320 GTC with its enclosed wheelhouse define the brand; the 400 GTC brought the full-beam wheelhouse to 40 feet, the 340 GTWA won Best of Boats 2025, and the 460 GTC and GTS are the 14.4-metre flagships.
Strengths
Saxdor is known for twin-stepped deep-V hulls, vacuum-infused GRP construction, outboard power from 115 to 1,275 hp, fold-down side terraces, walk-around decks and enclosed GTC wheelhouses, a configurator with published starting prices, rapid growth to more than 2,000 boats in six years, and a string of international awards.
Considerations
Only one 'Length' is printed per model and it is taken as length overall, draft is stated excluding engines, the smaller models print a cruising speed range (32 – 45 knots) rather than a single figure, the 400 GTS names its outboards only as 'Mercury V8 and V10' and the 460 GTC gives only a maximum engine power, the 460 GTS prints passengers without a design category, no page states displacement or engine count, and the 340 GTWA page prints no draft.
