About Saxdor
Saxdor was founded in 2019 by Sakari Mattila, a Finnish boating entrepreneur, with headquarters in Helsinki and a production shipyard in Ełk, in northeastern Poland. The brand set out to bring fresh design and clever use of space to the smaller end of the market, and it grew quickly across Europe and beyond.
Its boats are recognizable for their bold, angular styling, walk-around decks and versatile layouts, many of them outboard-powered. Model names follow a clear system: GTO for open boats, GTC for cabin versions and GTS for sportier or more enclosed models, with the number indicating the size class. Interiors are simple and practical, designed for days on the water rather than long passages, which keeps the boats light and easy to run.
In 2026 Saxdor became part of Malibu Boats, the American boat group, while continuing to operate as its own brand under its existing management. Saxdor is a series-production builder rather than a yacht yard, and its boats are most often used as day boats, weekenders or tenders.

Saxdor yachts for sale
Saxdor yachts change hands both publicly and privately. There may be no Saxdor in the current Reel Deal Yachts selection, but Daniel can search the wider market, including yachts that are not publicly listed.
Discuss a Saxdor yacht →Buying a Saxdor yacht
Because Saxdor is a young brand, most boats on the pre-owned market are only a few seasons old, and differences often come down to specification, engines and use. A buyer should check outboard hours and service records, the hull and deck for any impact damage, and the condition of cushions, canvas and electronics. A sea trial is the best way to judge handling and noise. It is also worth confirming which engine package a boat carries, since the same hull may have been offered with several outboard options that affect performance and running costs.
As a tender, a Saxdor can suit yachts that need a lively, versatile boat for guests. Weight, dimensions and lifting points must match the mother yacht's garage or crane, and Daniel can check those details as part of the buying process.
Selling a Saxdor yacht
The Saxdor market moves quickly, with well-specified, lightly used boats attracting steady interest. Daniel prices from recent sold comparables for the same model and engine package, rather than from list prices, and a private valuation gives a realistic starting point.
Marketing reaches cooperating brokers in the United States and Europe and owners of larger yachts seeking a tender. Presentation matters on a boat bought partly for its design: a clean deck, fresh upholstery and full service records make the difference. In Florida, the Miami and Fort Lauderdale show season is the natural moment to reach American buyers, while spring suits the Mediterranean and northern Europe.
Why work with Daniel Grant
Daniel works between Miami, New York and the Mediterranean, and he can advise whether a Saxdor is best sold locally or in another market. As an independent broker with Reel Deal Yachts, not a Saxdor dealer, he offers candid advice with the support of an established Miami brokerage and personal, discreet service throughout.
For owners who are moving up to a larger yacht, Daniel can also manage both sides at once, selling the Saxdor while searching for its successor, so that timing and budget are handled together.
