Saxdor, the Finnish builder known for its fast, seaworthy and competitively priced boats, is adding a model to its 400 series. The new 400 GTS will debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September.
The 400 GTS is the new sibling to the GTO, a hardtop model, and the GTC, a more traditional cruiser with cabin. The GTS is an open-air option for day boaters who don’t need a large enclosed space belowdecks for overnighting.
This 40-foot, 8-inch model incorporates Saxdor’s signature folding terraces, which expand entertaining space in the cockpit when the boat is at anchor. Also in the cockpit are two settees, a wet bar and a sunpad. There’s another social zone in the bow, where a dinette converts to another sunpad.
The boat’s lightweight construction and twin-stepped hull allow for sporty performance and good fuel efficiency, according to the builder. Rated for up to 850 horses and powered by twin Mercury outboards, the 400 GTS will reportedly reach speeds up to 50 knots. Fuel capacity is 250 gallons.
“With its fully open deck with a T-top roof, semi-walkaround layout, signature fold-down terraces, and versatile lounging solutions, the 400 GTS is designed for those who want to feel fully connected to the sea while enjoying the comfort, social spaces, and usability that define Saxdor boats,” wrote Saxdor in a press statement.
