Using Younite Showroom for the world’s first virtual yacht launch
Overview
Virtual Yacht Launch at Cannes.
Saxdor Yachts, the world’s fastest-growing premium boat brand, is a privately owned company headquartered in Helsinki, Finland.
With 150 locations on five continents throughout the dealer network, the company has built a strong global presence.
In September 2025, Saxdor carried out the world’s first virtual yacht launch at the Cannes Yachting Festival, unveiling the new 460 GTC model digitally.
This launch showed how new yachts can now be explored and even purchased before the physical boat is completed.
The Challenge
How can we reach customers and showcase our products without physical boats?
Saxdor wanted customers to experience their boats even when no physical demo was available.
Operating across a global markets meant it was unrealistic to have every model physically available in each location, limiting how their dealer network could present upcoming models, and slowing down decision-making.
Saxdor also sought new ways to engage customers beyond traditional showrooms and events.
Our Solution
Younite Virtual Showroom for Saxdor Yachts
Saxdor adopted Younite Virtual Showroom, an immersive platform that enables customers to explore boats in realistic detail from anywhere.
The solution allows the dealer network to present every model digitally, even before production is complete.
It creates an engaging and accurate experience that supports both sales teams and customers throughout the buying process.
Results
Tangible Business Impact*
Successful Digital-First Sales
Saxdor Yachts has sold multiple yachts using the Digital Showroom as the primary sales tool, both during and after the Cannes Yachting Festival, despite the models existing only digitally at the time of sale.
Dealer Adoption
Within the first three months, 30 dealers were actively using the Digital Showroom as part of their daily sales work.
Accelerated Sales Timeline
Digital presentation of the yachts enabled sales discussions and customer engagement months before physical launch and production.
*Launched in September 2025 at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the Digital Showroom has already delivered tangible impact across sales and physical customer environments.
Erna Rusi
CEO, Saxdor Yachts
We have 150 locations on five continents through our dealer network. It is unrealistic to expect that you could have a demo boat of each model in each location. So when the client wants to experience the boat prior to purchasing, Virtual Showroom enables them to do so.
