In-the-water and ready for sea trials
The only Zeus powered flybridge Sabre available for summer 2011 delivery
A whole new day: quieter, more fuel efficient, more maneuverable and more of the things that make your boating experience exceptional.
At Sabre Yachts, the goal has always been to fulfill the dreams and wishes of our boat owners by listening carefully to their requests and blending their ideas into new and exciting designs. They consider the owners and potential owners to be valued members of the Sabre Design Team. The Sabre 40 Flybridge Sedan is the result of our observation that our clients want to enjoy the same levels of personal luxury and comfort that they have come to expect in their homes and in their automobiles. To that end they have developed a new style of sedan, available with or without fly bridge, that permits boaters to operate from the comfort of the yacht’s interior or from the openness of an optional fly bridge. Technology is advancing rapidly and the owners have come to expect that if there is a new technology available, Sabre will employ it in our designs. Sabre has dramatically changed the way they build their yachts and the way in which they are propelled. Traditional values such as fine craftsmanship and great looks remain, as their owners have come to expect, but below the surface things are state-of-the-art.
In July of 2008 they launched the first Sabre with Zeus Pod drives and the result of that boat’s sea trials told Sabre that everything has changed and nothing will remain the same. Smaller engines using vectored thrust propel the boat at higher speeds using less fuel. And when maneuvering in tight spaces, a joy stick makes child’s play of docking.
We are proud to offer the newest model of the Sabre family, the 2011 Sabre 40 Flybridge Sedan.
