The Sabre 38 Salon Express is extremely popular among cruising couples with the occasional need for guest accommodations. She is a comfortable yacht, easily handled in close quarters with joystick control and DPS.
The Sabre 38 is a capable cruiser with some uniquely innovative design features that make her a well thought out vessel! She has a second helm bench to port that is designed to also convert into salon seating by easily flip-flopping the back cushion forward. This is very versatile feature which maximizes seating for cruising and also at rest.
Down below in the accommodation area this 38’ Sabre features a spacious master stateroom forward with en suite head and separate stall shower. The galley is just aft of the master stateroom and features a pass through electric privacy panel. This pass through can be closed up if other guests are staying onboard or if you would like to access the TV in the master cabin.
In addition, the lower salon just aft of the galley features an L-settee that pulls out into a berth, perfect for an extra couple to stay for a few nights.
The Sabre 38 Salon Express is able to cruise relatively fast and efficiently with approximate cruising speeds of 25 and 27 knots burning about 20 to 24 GPH, respectively.
The Sabre 38 Salon Express: Elegant, Strong, Reliable, Seaworthy.
Her classic profile, energetic performance, precise controls, and low sound levels make the Sabre 38 Salon Express an icon of nautically sensible design. Pod drives and joystick controls provide masterful control, secure handholds wherever they are needed lend security and comfort, and 360-degree sightlines at the helm allow for optimal awareness while underway. All of these features wrapped up in classic Downeast lines make the Sabre 38 Salon Express “a boat that boaters recognize.”
The interior of the Sabre 38 Salon Express is an open design which suits a day’s outing with friends as easily as it does a longer cruise. Below, her galley, lower lounge, and master berth benefit from abundant daylight while providing a luxurious oasis for owners and guests. The roomy and versatile cockpit is the perfect outdoor space to compliment her equally clever salon.
