Saxdor has arrived at Boot Düsseldorf 2026, the world’ biggest indoor boat show, with an all-new and bigger-than-ever display. Not only does it include all eight models in the Finnish brand’s premium sports cruiser and compact day-boat portfolio, but also the world premiere of its stunning new just-launched flagship, the 460 GTC.
The 460 GTC…
The 460 GTC takes Saxdor’s winning formula to the next spectacular level and marks this fast-growing brand’s continuing push into the premium cruiser segment. Outwardly the brand DNA is all there. There’s the same plumb bow, sporty raked-aft windshield and, as with Saxdor’s other ‘cabin’ models, a generous full-beam walk-through wheelhouse complete with both a sliding sunroof and skylight, and large fold-down platforms, not to mention all the usual clever solutions and technical innovations that make all this brand’s models so popular.
Open or enclosed, the Saxdor 460 really is a boat for all seasons, the best of both worlds in one fabulously versatile package, whether you need a smart day-boat or comfortable cruiser for weekends or longer spells.

SAXDOR
Saxdor’s biggest Boot Düsseldorf (January 17-25) presence yet includes the debut of its all-new 460 GTC flagship and a full-eight model line-up
When up, the 460 GTC’s platforms partially conceal exceptionally large sliding glass doors set on either side of the cabin, but when down and with those side doors, cockpit doors and sunroof open they transform what is otherwise an enclosed all-weather wheelhouse with 360-degree views into a very open fun-in-the-sun cockpit space. And those fold-down sections are perfectly flush with the rest of the cockpit decking, so expand the normal maximum beam of 4.11m (13ft 6in) seamlessly and practically by another 1.2m (4ft) or so.
Given much of the cockpit is open to the water on both sides when those bulwark sections are down, the connection with the sea is very special. They become side decks that serve as two huge side bathing platforms and are the principal access to the water given the engines are actually fenced off safely behind a low-slung glass balastade.
Beneath the cabin roof, there’s a well-specified galley module to port and to starboard an inviting L-booth. Leaving room to walk by to port, the bridge console is also offset to starboard and is addressed by a row of three bolstered seats with the wheel at the outboard one. The low-profile dashboard there can have up to three 16in Simrad multi-functional display screens.
Saxdor always sets the bar high as regards performance and the 460 certainly won’t disappoint. It’s the first Saxdor to have a triple rack. With three 300hp Mercury V8s motors, the maximum speed should be getting on for 40 knots, but with three of the latest new 425hp Mercury V10s, the maximum allowable 1,275hp, she will likely top out around 50 knots.
The handling and driving experience will undoubtedly be just as exhilarating as the smaller models. She has a similar twin-step deep-vee hull geometry and is built just as ruggedly. The hull, superstructure and hardtop are all vacuum-infused.
Open or enclosed, the Saxdor 460 really is a boat for all seasons, the best of both worlds in one fabulously versatile package, whether you need a smart day-boat or comfortable cruiser for weekends or longer spells.
The two forward-cabin areas will sleep up to four. The owner’s double is immediately beneath the foredeck and then there is a twin-bed cabin amidships. Plus there’s a good-size shared head and shower compartment between them on the starboard side.

As with the 460 GTC’s smaller sisters, the portside of the windshield incorporates a lift-up section and a walk-through gate that leads out to a big bowrider-style foredeck lounge, one complete with inviting wraparound seating and a pedestal table.
There are plenty of extras to enhance those areas too, not least bimini shades, hammocks and on-deck and underwater lighting. Inboard of the helm console there’s a sliding hatch and short companionway down to the principle accommodation space. A step up for the brand in terms of refinement, the interior vibe is calm, bright and contemporary. Accommodation spaces feature carefully selected veneers, clean linear cabinetry and further enriched by light-palette upholstery and soft LED lighting.

However, there’s also the option of another snug double berth further aft. It has its own discreet access beneath a sunpad module, which would be in place of the standard aft-deck seating and table. Without the third cabin, the space would otherwise be a lazarette.
Also on show at Boot Dusseldorf 2026 will be the full Saxdor 400 series — the 400 GTC, 400 GTO and the recently introduced 400 GTS. Plus the Saxdor 340 GTWA, the brand’s innovative walkaround wheelhouse design, as well as the best-selling Saxdor 320 GTO and its closed counterpart 320 GTC, and an updated range baby, the 270 GTO.
