But just what makes this model the choice of royalty?

The Saxdor 400 GTO is the Finnish boatmaker’s flagship design, and features more of the innovative hallmarks that fans of the boatmaker have come to expect. 

Modular and spacious – a nod to the “private island” concept that inspires its design – the 400 GTO certainly achieves an open-plan boating experience. An expansive open wheelhouse extends to the full beam of the boat for optimum living space and is fitted with stylish plush seating.

After a day’s sailing, guests are invited to drop anchor and lower down five-metre-long side terraces to trail their toes in ocean waves before, perhaps, venturing up to sunset drinks at a well-appointed bow seating area. 

The Crown Prince will no doubt enjoy spending time with his guests on a full-sized sunpad on the aft deck and appreciate the generous boost to deck space allowed by twin cockpit balconies that extend halfway along the boat’s total length of just over 40ft. 

Able to accommodate five guests comfortably, the cruiser features a forward double cabin with a separate bathroom, an additional mid cabin, and, tucked under companionway steps, room for an added children’s cabin. 

Up to 42 knots can be achieved in the 400 GTO model.

Saxdor’s CEO Erna Rusi, alongside a senior team, assembled to oversee a smooth handover to the prince and was clearly excited. “We cannot wait to see His Highness enjoy the incredible features of this boat,” expressed Rusi. 

And, features there are many. His Highness is known for a discerning taste and high regard for fine craftsmanship. In the Saxdor 400 GTO he will be well able to bask in a boat that offers both style and speed.
