Saxdor debuts 460 GTC at boot Düsseldorf 2026
Saxdor Yachts, the fastest-growing brand in the global boating industry, is thrilled to announce the upcoming world premiere of the new Saxdor 460 GTC at boot Düsseldorf 2026, taking place from 17th to 25th January. The launch of the new model stands as a defining milestone in the Finnish brand’s development, supporting its official entry into the 45–50 ft yacht segment.
“The 460 GTC is the next stepping stone in Saxdor’s path of entering a new segment,” said Erna Rusi, CEO of Saxdor Yachts. “It’s where our design thinking, technology, and engineering come together on a larger scale. We didn’t set out to simply build a bigger boat, we focused on creating an unmatched experience all around while staying true to Saxdor’s DNA. We’re thrilled to see the reaction of our audience when we reveal the model at boot Düsseldorf.”
Building on experience gained across its fleet and from valuable owner and market feedback, Saxdor has developed the new 460 GTC as a natural evolution of the successful 400 series by elevating the brand’s signature strengths and introducing new features and solutions that create a level of comfort and refinement usually found on larger yachts.
At the heart of this evolution is the model’s closed-open concept: the enclosed, all-season wheelhouse opens seamlessly to the exterior, ensuring uninterrupted circulation from the bow lounge to the aft deck. Dual-opening side doors allow the wheelhouse to merge naturally with the outdoors, while a large galley enhances the onboard experience with ample facilities for cooking and entertaining. Forward of the galley, an innovative two-part door solution provides access to the large convertible foredeck lounge through an upper section that lifts and slides into the roof enabling the lower section to hinge open. Aft, a half-height window paired with a port-side door opens the saloon to the expansive open-air cockpit, enhancing the sense of space and connection with the water.
This seamless connection between interiors and exteriors is reinforced by the yacht’s outdoor living areas, designed to complement the interiors and offer new ways to relax and gather on board. Saxdor’s signature “private island” feeling is enhanced through the largest fold-down terraces in this class, which create a generous open platform directly above the water. New elements across the terraces introduce fresh ways to enjoy the outdoors, bringing added versatility and comfort to life on board. The aft deck has also been refined with new configurable options, opening up additional space for relaxing, gathering, and entertaining.
Scaling up in size without compromising performance, the 460 GTC remains unmistakably Saxdor. A wide range of Mercury power options, from triple V8-300 engines up to twin V12-600s, allows owners to tailor the 460 GTC’s performance to their needs, with top configurations also offering the advanced Fathom® e-power system from Navico. Saxdor was in fact the first boatbuilder outside the U.S. to adopt this integrated lithium-ion auxiliary power management solution, which sets a new benchmark in onboard energy efficiency.
The new 460 GTC has been thoughtfully designed to appeal to today’s varied boating lifestyles: from boaters looking to upgrade, experienced owners seeking a more agile and owner-operated yacht, to those who value social, comfortable time on the water, the 460 GTC delivers the space, refinement, and effortless usability that define the next generation of Saxdor range.
