2013 Sabre 48 Salon Express

Searching for a salon express cruiser that has the features and comfort to accommodate owners, family, friends who may be cruising north-south, to the Bahamas and Caribbean...well you might want to take a closer look at this newly listed pre-owned 48 Salon Express.  Arguably one of the best 48s on the market today.

Built new for the current owners in 2013, many ideas were implemented in her design and overall build.  For instance, the lower utility room was designed for extended cruising which features a side by side washer/dryer, custom pantry with adjustable shelving, a work bench with storage, large freezer for stocking up on frozen foods to go on the Magma grill and a 400 GPD watermaker.  In the main salon, her custom designed settee conveniently converts into a large double berth sleeping area for adults, family, friends and grandchildren.  Her fore deck has a removable sunpad for relaxing in the sun.  The cockpit has a custom removable sunfly shade to keep the area cooler on the hot sunny days.  Her main salon windows are treated with UV window tint to help mitigate heat and keep the interior cooler.  The upgraded oven in the galley opens up possibilities for the chef.  The helm suite boosts a powerful electronics package by Garmin.  Entertain your AV system with its KVH M5 satellite  and Fusion sound system.  Feel like exploring to that remote island or up a quiet creek to bird watch, no problem with a AB 10' aluminum tender onboard, explore away.  And she offers so much more.

Important to note...from June to November in 2014, 2015 and 2018 she was stored inside an air conditioned climate-controlled building.  All systems were flushed with fresh water (engines, genset, a/c) before storage each of those seasons.
