Forty-five knots from a boat you can tow home afterwards.
The standard Mercury V6 225 gives the 270 GTO real pace, and owners who want more can step up to a V8 300 or the supercharged Verado 350 without changing the hull beneath them. Cruise settles at 30 knots, with a genuine 45 knot top end on the strongest option, figures drawn from a twin step, vacuum infused hull that Mattila refined specifically for this size of boat. A 300 litre fuel tank supports a 200 nautical mile range, enough for a full day of exploring a coastline and the run home besides. Few boats this compact deliver speed with so little drama at the helm.
Sakari Mattila does not draw a boat twice, and the 270 GTO proves it.
Having founded Saxdor after shaping the Axopar range, Mattila brought the same sharp, uncluttered language to a smaller hull, and the 270 GTO reads as a boat from a size class above. Her beam is held to 2.6 metres, deliberately kept under the 2.9 metre road legal towing limit shared by the UK and Europe, a constraint most builders in this bracket ignore. The result sits neatly between rivals like the Axopar 25 and 28, wider and more capable than the first, sportier and more affordable than the second. Every line above the twin step hull earns its place rather than simply following fashion.
The cockpit does the entertaining, the cabin does the resting.
A wet bar and forward sunbed turn the deck into a genuine gathering space for the eight guests she can carry by day, while a T-top keeps sun and spray off anyone at the helm. Walkaround decks mean moving to the bow to anchor or swim never means squeezing past seated guests. Below, a compact cabin sleeps two and includes its own heads, enough for a couple to stay aboard overnight without asking the 270 GTO to be something she is not. It is a small footprint used with intent, nothing wasted, nothing missing for a weekend spent mostly on the water rather than in it.
Two hundred nautical miles is a genuine cruising range, not a brochure figure.
A 300 litre fuel capacity carries the 270 GTO 200 nautical miles at cruise, plenty for a coastal hop between anchorages without planning the day around a fuel dock. A shallow 0.9 metre draught opens up shallower bays and beaches that deeper hulled cruisers have to pass by, adding practical range in a different sense: places reached, not just miles covered. Combined with her light overall weight, the 270 GTO covers ground efficiently rather than simply carrying enough fuel to compensate for a heavier hull. For an owner who plans to actually use the boat rather than admire it at the dock, that efficiency matters more than any single number.
At 115,000 euros, the 270 GTO undercuts her performance by a wide margin.
Saxdor’s own engineering team built the boat around Mattila’s design without adding the weight or cost a more elaborate structure would demand, and it shows in the price against the specification. No crew is required to run her, and a layout that welcomes eight for the day and sleeps two overnight suits an owner who wants to handle everything personally. She sits at an accessible point in the range, more boat than her closest rivals at a similar figure, and a credible first step for anyone drawn to the performance and pedigree of the larger Saxdor models before committing to one.
