ANDIAMO is a handsome and well-kept Sabre 38 Express Cruiser that delivers the style, build quality, and seakeeping reputation that have made this model a perennial favorite in the Downeast express market. Located in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, she has benefited from meaningful cosmetic and mechanical updates, including new hull paint in 2024 and deck paint in 2025, helping her stand out as an especially appealing example for the buyer seeking a classic New England express with modernized presentation.
Powered by twin 440 HP Yanmar 6LY2A-STP diesels with approximately 1,171 hours, ANDIAMO offers dependable performance for coastal cruising, weekend trips, and island runs. The Sabre 38 is known for combining practical operation with a refined helm deck layout, and this boat is equipped accordingly with a Side-Power bow thruster, Sea Star hydraulic steering, Bennett trim tabs, Glendinning engine controls with synchronizer, and updated Garmin electronics including dual GPSMap 5212 displays, radar, autopilot, dual VHFs, and a Simrad multi-display.
Her helm deck and cockpit are arranged for easy entertaining and relaxed day use, with Stidd helm and companion seats in Ultraleather, bridge deck lounge seating with folding table, wet bar, U-Line cockpit refrigerator with icemaker, aft-facing cockpit lounge seat, teak decking on the helm deck, and a fiberglass swim platform with ladder. Practical cruising and dockside features include a Lewmar windlass with helm controls, Delta anchor, searchlight, transom shower, windshield washers and wipers, saltwater washdown, and foredeck sun cushions.
Below, ANDIAMO offers the warm, traditional atmosphere that Sabre buyers expect, with a gorgeous cherry interior and teak-and-holly cabin sole. The layout includes a forward centerline queen berth with storage below, generous drawer and locker storage, and an ensuite head with separate stall shower and additional companionway access. In the saloon, the L-settee converts to a double berth and sits beside a well-equipped galley with Corian countertops, Princess two-burner cooktop, microwave, deep stainless sink, and Dometic refrigerator/freezer. She is also well suited for extended weekends aboard thanks to four MarineAir reverse-cycle air conditioning units, an Onan 9 kW generator in a sound shield, battery charger, and satellite television receiver.
For the buyer looking for a proven Downeast express with timeless lines, quality joinery, and recent investment in both appearance and upkeep, ANDIAMO is a compelling opportunity. She has clearly been used and maintained as a practical owner's boat, not just a dockside showpiece, and her blend of Sabre pedigree, twin-diesel power, and sensible upgrades makes her an attractive option in this size range.
