Saxdor

Saxdor Yachts is a Finnish boat builder founded in 2019 and headquartered in Helsinki. It designs and manufactures premium adventure dayboats, with production based in Finland and Poland. The company was created by Sakari Mattila, who had previously founded or co-founded several other boat brands.

Saxdor began in 2019 as a new brand created by Sakari Mattila, a Finnish boat designer and entrepreneur with a long background in the marine industry. The company’s first boats entered production in 2020, and Saxdor established manufacturing in Poland while keeping its headquarters in Helsinki. Public company material says Saxdor has since grown rapidly and employed a large workforce across Finland and Poland. The brand has been presented as a Finnish premium boat manufacturer rather than a charter operator or broker.

Saxdor builds motorboats in the adventure dayboat segment, with models designed for recreation, day cruising and watersports. Its range has included the Saxdor 200, the 320 GTO and the 400 GTO, which reflect the brand’s focus on compact, performance-oriented hulls and practical deck layouts. The first model, the Saxdor 200, brought the brand early attention and helped establish its market position. Saxdor’s identity is closely tied to Scandinavian styling and efficient use of space.
