Unveiled at the Southampton International Boat Show 2022, Saxdor Yachts – the Finnish boat brand – introduced a groundbreaking product in the under-30-foot sports boat category: the Saxdor 270. This is the only model in its segment equipped with both a wet bar and a dining area for six, along with a forward cabin. The Saxdor 270 is an ideal choice for day cruising, relaxing with family and friends, and hosting celebration parties right on the boat.

Honored with a Prestigious Yacht Industry Award in 2024

The Saxdor 270 GTO has proudly won the “Under 30 ft Sports Boat” award at the 2024 Motor Boat Awards, one of the most esteemed accolades in the yachting industry. Judged on criteria such as performance, design, features, amenities, and fuel efficiency, the Saxdor 270 GTO has demonstrated excellence and innovation in every detail, earning this distinguished title.

Let’s explore the key features of the Saxdor 270 GTO to gain a better understanding of the comfort and performance that this stylish weekender offers.

Day Cruiser Boat

Unlike the 270 GT tailored for sun enthusiasts who love boating under the sun, the 270 GTO boasts a T-Top canopy for you to comfortably enjoy the fun with your loved ones in any weather conditions. The Saxdor 270 GTO is not just a sports boat; it's the perfect companion for day trips. Equipped with all the amenities you need, including a wet bar with an electric stove, sink, and refrigerator, as well as a convenient dining area for five, it ensures a wonderful experience on every journey.

Signature Hull Design

Saxdor’s signature Step Hull design enhances speed performance and fuel efficiency. The "Very deep V Sharp entry hull" allows the boat to cut through waves smoothly, reducing vibration and conserving energy, providing a comfortable ride even in choppy waters.

Mercury Verado Engine

The impressive performance of the Saxdor 270 GTO comes from three Mercury Verado engine options. These premium engines offer quiet operation, high overall performance, and are equipped with advanced technologies and electronics to optimize the driving experience. With the 300 horsepower engine option, the 270 GTO can reach a top speed of up to 45 knots. At a cruising speed of 30 knots, it achieves an impressive fuel consumption rate of 47 liters per hour. Additionally, small side ports and a rear glass panel ensure safety for children and pets on board.

Modern Helm Station

The Saxdor 270 GTO features a modern helm station with a 12-inch Simrad display and convenient storage compartments. An additional 12-inch Simrad screen is also available, providing advanced functions to make piloting the boat easier and more enjoyable. The extended glass on the sides of the cockpit not only improves visibility of the water but also enhances safety while moving around the boat.

Sofa Layout

For guests who enjoy sunbathing and relaxing on the boat, there is an option for a layout with two large sofa seats, providing a spacious dining area for six people. The backrests can be folded down to convert into a large bed that extends across the entire cockpit space.

Wetbar & Dining Area

In the center of the cockpit, there is a height-adjustable dining table, with two swivel helm seats that can be turned around to create a dining area for five people, allowing guests on the 270 GTO to enjoy meals and gatherings right on the boat. The wet bar at the rear is equipped with an electric stove, sink, refrigerator, and cup holders, making it convenient for picnics and outings.

Full Beam Sunbed

The bow of the boat features a full-beam sunbathing cushion designed for three people, complete with cup holders. The two side handrails are cleverly integrated into the sides of the boat to ensure safety and stability while underway. At the front, the anchor locker is lined with soft flooring and can be used as additional seating.

Forward Cabin & Toilet

One of the significant differences between the Saxdor 270 GTO and its predecessors, like the Saxdor 200 and Saxdor 205, which lack a cabin, is the inclusion of a forward sleeping cabin. The forward cabin of the 270 GTO features a comfortable bed for two, along with a cleverly concealed toilet and sink area hidden under an elegant cushion cover. The skylight and side windows provide natural light, creating a spacious and comfortable environment, perfect for extended cruising trips.

Conclusion

The Saxdor 270 GTO is an outstanding under-30-foot sports boat known for its amenities and performance. With its intelligent design and advanced features, it stands as a top choice in the sports boat segment. The Saxdor 270 GTO promises an optimal experience for users, offering strength, modern amenities, and safety while navigating on the water.
