“We are excited for such a great opportunity to introduce an innovative and upcoming brand in the world’s biggest boating market.

It’s also a remarkable step in the growth story of Saxdor that we are thrilled to be a part of,” summarizes Chuck Cashman, MarineMax Chief Revenue Officer and Executive Vice President.
The Saxdor boats will be first presented in the MarineMax stores in Florida and coming to other locations during the year of 2022.

It has successfully launched the Saxdor 200 and Saxdor 320 models available in multiple deck-variant on all its markets. An extension of the model line-up has been teased to be introduced in 2022 and 2023. With over 700 produced boats and the production sold out for the next model years, Saxdor is growing at an impressive pace.
In order to meet the growing demand for its products in the US market Saxdor has also entered into a production agreement with a shipyard in the United States.
