Saxdor 400 GTO

Onboard the Saxdor 400 GTO

The Saxdor 400 GTO is built for the day-boat crowd who want to move fast between the Gulf's anchorages without the overhead of a full crewed yacht. Rated for 11 guests and fitted with 2 cabins, it sits between a straightforward day boat and something you could reasonably overnight on if the plan calls for it — useful on a base like Saint-Tropez, where the appeal is often about covering ground between the town anchorage, Pampelonne's offshore mooring line and the quieter bays further along the peninsula rather than staying tied to one berth.

On board, the layout favours guests who want deck space and sun exposure over enclosed cabin living: a boat this size handles a group split between swimming, sunbathing and short tender-style hops to shore with less fuss than a larger motor yacht, and the two cabins give the option of a genuine overnight stop — Port Grimaud's canal marina, for instance, is close enough to make that practical — without needing to commit to a superyacht-scale booking.

It suits parties who know exactly what they want from a day on the water: a small family group headed toward Cap Taillat for a swim stop, friends running out to Nikki Beach or Club 55 for lunch with the boat anchored off Pampelonne, or a compact corporate outing where the point is privacy and mobility rather than entertaining at scale. Capacity is set at 11 guests, so groups should check that number against their own headcount before booking rather than assuming a boat this size stretches further.
