Saxdor is the latest brand from Sakari Mattila, the Finnish entrepreneur behind Axopar and XO Boats. His formula this time pairs Finnish design with Polish production across a range spanning roughly 20 to 46 feet, with an entry price that, at the time of writing, starts under A$120,000. For buyers weighing up Saxdor yachts for sale in Western Australia, there is now a single official channel: Motoryachts Australasia (MYA), the brand’s official WA dealer, operating from the North Fremantle marina in the Rous Head Harbour precinct.
This guide covers the thinking behind the brand, the six series that make up the current range, indicative pricing at the time of writing, why these boats suit the way Western Australians actually use the water, and what official dealer backing looks like once the boat is in your pen.
The Saxdor story: designed in Finland, built in Poland
Track record counts for a great deal in boatbuilding, and Mattila’s is unusual. Before Saxdor he founded Axopar and XO Boats, so the brand arrives with two generations of design thinking already behind it rather than starting from a blank sheet. For a buyer, that pedigree matters: refinement in a boat tends to come from iteration, and Saxdor’s founder has been iterating on the same core ideas across three brands.
The structure of the company explains its pricing. Design is done in Finland, a country with a long tradition of building practical boats for demanding northern waters. Construction happens in Poland, one of Europe’s significant boatbuilding centres, where production scales efficiently. Splitting design from build is how Saxdor holds its prices down without outsourcing the thinking that makes the boats worth buying.
There is a quiet benefit in that Baltic origin for buyers here. Boats drawn for cold, windy northern waters are designed around chop, spray and short steep seas; brought to a climate like ours, that conservatism reads as reassurance rather than necessity. The result is a brand with a clear identity — Nordic design discipline, sharp production economics, and a founder whose previous brands will be familiar to anyone who has followed the day-boat market over the past two decades.
The Saxdor range: six series from 20 to 46 feet
At the time of writing the line-up spans roughly 20 to 46 feet across about 11 models, organised into six series: 200, 270, 320, 340, 400 and 460. The series numbers track loosely with length, which means the range steps up in usefully even increments — from a compact boat in the low twenties, through the high twenties and low-to-mid thirties, to genuine cruising length at 40 feet and beyond.
Several series offer more than one configuration. Our stock at the time of writing includes both GTO and GTC versions of the 320, and the model we currently feature is the 400 GTS, which sits toward the top of the range and gives a good sense of how far the brand’s thinking stretches beyond compact day boats. Which variant suits you comes down to how you will use the boat, and that is a conversation better had standing on the deck than reading a brochure.
The practical effect of a range this wide is that Saxdor rarely forces a compromise on size. There is a model near whatever length your boating calls for, and a clear path up the range as your plans grow. The full line-up, with current availability for Western Australia, lives on our Saxdor page.
Saxdor yachts for sale in Perth: pricing at the time of writing
Indicative pricing from our current new-boat stock gives a sense of where the range sits:
- Saxdor 205 — from approximately A$119,990
- Saxdor 270 GTO — approximately A$269,000
- Saxdor 320 GTO — approximately A$529,000
- Saxdor 320 GTC — approximately A$549,000
- Saxdor 400 GTO — price on application
All figures are at the time of writing and will move with specification, options and delivery timing, so treat them as a starting point and confirm current numbers with us directly. New Saxdor stock is listed alongside our other arrivals on the new yachts page.
Availability works two ways. A boat in stock can be inspected, purchased and put to work this season. Ordering, by contrast, buys you control over specification at the cost of a wait — a normal trade-off with any new boat, and one we can map out against factory timelines once you know which model fits.
Those numbers are also worth reading against the second-hand market. Our brokerage carries around 30 listings at the time of writing, priced from roughly A$7,000 to A$995,000, and buyers regularly cross-shop a new Saxdor against pre-owned stock in the same bracket. Because we sell both, we have no reason to push you either way; the right answer depends on how you weigh warranty coverage and specification control against immediate availability.
Why Saxdor suits Western Australian waters
Perth boating has its own rhythm. The Swan River rewards boats that are compact and easily handled. The coast off Fremantle opens up on the right morning, and Rottnest sits close enough for a day trip yet far enough offshore that seakeeping matters. The season runs long, the afternoon sea breeze is reliable, and many owners run their boats short-handed — often solo or as a couple.
A range that starts around 20 feet and finishes around 46 covers nearly all of that brief. The smaller series suit river work and coastal days. The mid-range opens up Rottnest weekends. At the top, the 400 and 460 series reach the length where overnighting stops being a compromise and starts being the point of the boat.
There is also the question of use. A boat that sits in its pen loses money quietly, and simpler, easier-to-run boats get taken out more often — a pattern any walk along a marina confirms. Saxdor’s range is concentrated in exactly the sizes that go boating on a Tuesday afternoon, not only at Christmas.
Owning a Saxdor in Perth also means the dealer, the service workshop and the lifting infrastructure all sit in one precinct at Rous Head. That matters more than any single line on a specification sheet, because it shapes every year of ownership after the first.
What official WA dealer backing means after the sale
MYA was founded in 2021, carries more than 80 years of combined marine experience across the team, and is a member of the DCH Marine network. Saxdor sits alongside our Sunseeker dealership and our Sealegs appointment, which means the business is structured around long-term brand representation rather than one-off transactions.
After-sales is where an official appointment earns its keep. We are an authorised Mercury Marine dealer with Mercury-specialist technicians and factory authorisation for service, maintenance and warranty work. Ownership support runs from tailored maintenance programmes and authorised warranty repairs — completed to factory standard with genuine parts — through to a 24/7 technical support line, engine servicing, mechanical and electrical work, plumbing, antifouling, and detailing to concours standard. The full offer is set out on our service page.
The infrastructure matches the intent. Our office is attached to SFM Marina at Rous Head, so lifts, sheds, hardstands and pens connect directly to the office. The SFM recreational facility runs two lifters rated to 200 tonnes, accepts vessels to 10 metres of beam — catamarans and tri-hulls included — and operates 7am to 4pm daily with qualified mechanics, electricians, shipwrights and engineers on site. For a fuller picture of how sales, servicing and lifting work together here, see our guide to Perth yacht brokerage and servicing.
And when your boating grows past your first Saxdor, the same office handles brokerage, so the boat you own now becomes part of the path to the one you want next. It is one of the quieter advantages of dealing with a full-service operation: the relationship does not reset with each boat.
