SAXDOR ANNOUNCES NEW 460 GTS AHEAD OF IT’S WORLD PREMIERE AT CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL 2026
Building on the success of the 460 GTC, Saxdor introduces a new open flagship model designed to meet the demands of today’s evolving boating lifestyle.
Saxdor Yachts, Europe’s fastest-growing boatbuilder, has unveiled the all-new Saxdor 460 GTS, the latest addition to its flagship range, ahead of its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026.
The announcement follows the highly successful launch of the Saxdor 460 GTC earlier this year, the model that introduced the brand’s new flagship platform. The 460 series has already generated strong demand across Europe and the United States, with all production slots for the current year fully booked.
Expanding the flagship lineup, the new 460 GTS offers a more open interpretation of the same award-winning platform. While the 460 GTC is designed around the comfort and protection of an enclosed wheelhouse with generous interior living spaces, the 460 GTS caters to owners seeking a greater connection with the outdoors without compromising the practicality, versatility and premium features expected from a flagship yacht.
As modern boating continues to evolve, owners are placing greater value on the experiences enjoyed on board from entertaining family and friends to spending long weekends cruising or relaxing at anchor. The Saxdor 460 GTS has been developed around this lifestyle, combining spacious social areas, seamless movement throughout the yacht and the engaging driving characteristics that define the Saxdor brand.
Traditionally, open yachts have often required owners to choose between performance and onboard comfort. With the 460 GTS, Saxdor aims to eliminate that compromise by pairing the freedom of an open design with the comfort, innovation and functionality of a true flagship. Optional sliding doors provide additional protection when conditions change, while the expansive deck layout creates a highly adaptable space for socialising and relaxation. Staying true to the brand’s DNA, the yacht also delivers efficient performance, excellent stability and precise, intuitive handling.
“2026 has been a landmark year for Saxdor and represents an important milestone in our growth,” said Erna Rusi, CEO of Saxdor Yachts. “Driven by continuous innovation, a clear long-term vision and a strong commitment to our customers, we have expanded our presence in the premium segment with a completely new generation of yachts. The launch of our flagship family, first with the 460 GTC and now the 460 GTS, demonstrates our ambition to continue redefining the modern boating experience.”
Founded in 2019, Saxdor Yachts has rapidly established itself as Europe’s fastest-growing boat brand, earning recognition for combining distinctive design, exceptional craftsmanship and high performance. The company’s portfolio now spans models from 20 to 46 feet, with larger yachts already in development.
Innovation remains central to Saxdor’s strategy, with the company introducing technologies that simplify and enhance boat ownership. These include Saxdor AI, the industry’s first AI-powered co-skipper, and the Digital Showroom, an immersive virtual platform that enables customers to explore and configure their yachts before purchase.
Since delivering its first boat in 2020, Saxdor has launched ten models, achieved an annual production of approximately 700 boats, and grown its workforce to around 1,000 employees. The company also supports the future of the marine industry through the Saxdor Academy, which provides specialised education and training for the next generation of boatbuilding professionals.
Headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, with production facilities in Elk, Poland, and Larsmo, Finland, Saxdor operates through a global dealer network of more than 180 locations across over 70 countries and territories.
Since March 2026, Saxdor has been part of Malibu Boats Inc. (NASDAQ: MBUU), the U.S.-based publicly listed company recognised as a global leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of recreational powerboats.
