Saxdor 400 GTO

Onboard the Saxdor 400 GTO

The Saxdor 400 GTO reads as a proper sport yacht rather than a scaled-down cruiser: a walkaround deck that lets guests move from bow to stern without cutting through a cabin, twin engines that carry the hull to a cruising speed near 45 knots, and lines built for confident handling rather than pure display. At 12.4 metres she wears her power openly — low freeboard, an uncluttered cockpit, and a bow platform that turns into usable deck space the moment the anchor is down.

For a single day on the European coast, this is a boat built to cover distance without losing the point of being on the water. Guests can leave one bay mid-morning, make the run to a second anchorage before lunch, and still have the afternoon free for a swim stop — a pace a slower, heavier yacht cannot match. With two cabins below, the layout also holds up if the day stretches into an overnight rather than ending at sunset.

Eleven guests is the practical ceiling on board, which keeps the boat suited to a family split across generations, a small group of friends, or a couple who want the speed and open-deck feel of a sport yacht without the scale of a larger crewed vessel. Because a day boat of this size runs on different cost logic than the bigger yachts in the fleet, fuel and any additional charges for the day are worth confirming directly at the time of booking.
