The Saxdor 200 Pro Sport has been described as a personal watercraft that combines a jet ski’s convenience and ease of use with the safety and comfort of a compact boat.
However, there’s a lot more to this boat that makes it something exceptional.
Kiwis are certainly not unfamiliar with this style of European boat; it’s just that until a few years ago, they were not available in New Zealand.
They are the sort of boat you like or don’t. They are far from a traditional Kiwi style runabout, and that’s what makes the Saxdor 200 so interesting. Over the four days that I had the boat, I was amazed at the favourable comments I got, from fueling at the gas station to stopping for lunch on the way to our test venue, Lake Rotoiti (North Island). Parked up at the VR Resort on the shores of the lake or at the hot pools, the boat attracted a lot of attention. I found myself being a quasi-salesman. How much? Where is it built? Can I fish from it? Why that strange bow? Well, I managed to answer most of the questions and even convinced our very sceptical video man after a day’s shooting that this was actually a great boat. He admitted to liking it.
