Saxdor Brings 340 GTWA and 320 GTO to Cannes 2026

Saxdor Yachts used the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival to present five models at Port Canto, including the 340 GTWA and 320 GTO. Both boats sit comfortably inside Leisure Boat Guide’s under-12m scope and represent two distinct approaches to performance day boating.

The wider display also included larger Saxdor models, but the 340 GTWA and 320 GTO are especially relevant to owners seeking compact boats that combine high speed with flexible deck layouts. They also make it easier to compare enclosed and open configurations within the same brand.

340 GTWA adds an enclosed walkaround layout

The Saxdor 340 GTWA combines a fully enclosed pilothouse with walkaround side decks and panoramic glazing. Sliding doors allow the helm area to open up in good weather while retaining the protection needed for colder or more exposed conditions.

That layout can suit owners who want year-round usability without moving into a much larger cabin cruiser. Buyers should still consider berth width, side-deck access and ventilation because enclosure changes how a boat feels in warm-weather use.

320 GTO keeps the experience open

The 320 GTO takes a more open approach and is built around a transformable cockpit and twin-stepped hull. Saxdor says the model is capable of speeds above 50 knots depending on engine choice and loading.

Its seating can change from a forward-facing arrangement while under way to a lounge-style setup at anchor. That makes the boat attractive to buyers who prioritise social day boating and performance over an enclosed helm environment.

Two models show different routes below 12m

Seeing the two models in the same range highlights how much layout choice is now available without increasing overall length. One focuses on enclosed protection while the other retains a more open, performance-led character.

For LBG readers, the comparison is useful because hull length alone does not define how a boat will be used. Weather protection, cockpit flexibility and driving style can matter just as much when choosing between similarly sized boats.
