Since 2020, Nautika Centar Nava has proudly represented Saxdor Yachts, a brand that has quickly gained international recognition for its innovative approach to boat design and performance.
The Partnership with Saxdor Yachts
The partnership between Nautika Centar Nava and Saxdor Yachts began at the prestigious boot Düsseldorf 2020, where Dario Marijan, owner and founder of Nava, recognized the exceptional potential of this emerging brand. At the very center of Saxdor Yachts is its visionary founder, Sakari Mattila, a renowned figure in the yachting world with an impressive track record of success.
Before Saxdor, Mattila founded Axopar, Paragon, and Aquador – all revolutionary boat brands that changed how people viewed modern motorboats.
With Saxdor, Mattila aimed to create a range of boats that would combine a jet ski’s simplicity and agility with a small yacht’s comfort and versatility. His deep understanding of customer needs and passion for innovation has driven Saxdor’s rapid development and success.
Eleven Innovative Powerboats
The journey of Saxdor began with the launch of the Saxdor 200 in 2020, a watercraft that set the tone for the brand’s commitment to accessible performance and innovation. The compact yet powerful Saxdor 200 quickly became a favorite, offering an unbeatable combination of speed, stability, and affordability.
In 2021 Saxdor then launched the 320 series, signaling its ambition to take a leading position in the market. GTO was the first model, launched in February, followed by GTC in July, of the same year. In 2023 Saxdor introduced the GT variation. These models showcase the brand’s signature T-top design, wide-open side terraces, and economical hull technology, which ensured smooth rides even in challenging sea conditions.
Expansion of the Fleet
The Southampton International Boat Show 2022 featured the premiere of the Saxdor 205, a next-generation version of the original SX200. It further refined the design with added features and improved maneuverability, making it a versatile choice for boating enthusiasts. The next edition of Southampton introduced the 270 GTO and the GT soon followed.
These vessels brought a new level of comfort and functionality to the mid-sized category. They were designed with fuel efficiency in mind, without sacrificing the thrilling performance that Saxdor is known for. Their ergonomic layouts, spacious decks, and advanced technology catered to both adventure seekers and leisure cruisers alike.
New Innovations
In Cannes 2023, Saxdor unveiled the first Saxdor 400. It was the open version – GTO and at boot Düsseldorf 2024 the closed GTC model, expanding its reach into the luxury performance sector. And Saxdor is not stopping there. With the announced Saxdor 460 GTC and the highly anticipated 340 GTWA, the brand continues to evolve and push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of boating. The 340 GTWA is premiering at Cannes Yachting Festival 2024, and promises to deliver even more innovations.
For instance, the full walk-around concept, advanced navigation systems, enhanced fuel efficiency, and more customization options for owners who want a boat tailored to their specific tastes.
Saxdor in Croatia
Nautika Centar Nava has played a key role in introducing Saxdor to both Croatian and international customers. Nava has showcased the brand at local events such as Biograd Boat Show, Nautika Boat Show in Zagreb, Dalmatia Boat Show, and Croatia Nautic Show. But participating at prestigious international exhibitions, like the Cannes Yachting Festival and boot Düsseldorf, has enabled Nava to keep up with impressive lineups and interact with a global audience.
Mia Marijan, CEO of Nautika Centar Nava, adds: ‘Each Saxdor model combines speed with comfort, and every vessel outperforms the competing brands. Our partnership represents a union of two visionary boating brands, dedicated to delivering exceptional experiences at sea.’
Looking Ahead
While Saxdor Yachts may not aim to be the lowest-cost option on the market, the brand’s competitive pricing ensures that boaters receive exceptional value for money. Each model offers a unique combination of affordability, luxury, and superior performance, positioning Saxdor as a major player in the mid-tier luxury yacht segment.
As the 2025 boat show season approaches, Saxdor continues to look ahead, with plans for further expansion and new releases. With a steady focus on innovation and quality, boaters in Croatia and beyond have much to look forward to as this partnership between Nautika Centar Nava and Saxdor Yachts continues to thrive.
Saxdor Yachts is a rapidly growing brand known for its innovative design that redefines modern boating with each new model.
