2019 Sabre 45 Salon Express Boat in Oxford, MD US

2019 Sabre 45 Salon Express

New to market

Classic Downeast Elegance. Modern Performance. Exceptional Cruising Versatility.

Beautifully appointed example of the highly sought-after Sabre 45 Salon Express, one of the most admired Downeast cruising yachts in her class. Combining Sabre's renowned Maine craftsmanship, timeless styling, and thoughtful design with the efficiency and maneuverability of Volvo Penta IPS propulsion, she offers an exceptional balance of performance, comfort, and cruising capability.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 diesel engines rated at 435 HP each, She delivers a comfortable cruising speed in excess of 24-25 knots, with the responsive handling, joystick maneuverability, and ease of operation that make the IPS system so desirable. Whether cruising the New England coast, exploring the Chesapeake Bay, heading south for the winter, or embarking on an extended coastal adventure, she is a remarkably capable and versatile yacht.

The Sabre 45 Salon Express is particularly well regarded for her intelligent use of space and exceptional accommodations. Her beautifully finished cherry interior, bright and inviting salon, and practical half-up galley create a welcoming environment for entertaining and extended time aboard. Two private staterooms, each with access to a full head and separate shower, provide comfortable accommodations for owners and guests alike.

A distinguishing feature of the Sabre 45 is her dedicated utility room, an unusually practical space for a yacht of this size. She takes full advantage of this arrangement with separate, side-by-side washer and dryer units, providing a level of convenience more commonly associated with substantially larger cruising yachts.

Her spacious cockpit, complete with teak decking, an electric SureShade awning, and a dedicated grilling station, offers an inviting outdoor entertaining area. The salon flows naturally into the cockpit, while the large electric sunroof and opening windows provide an open, airy atmosphere underway or at anchor.

She is further distinguished by a desirable collection of factory options and equipment, including a Seakeeper 6 gyroscopic stabilizer, Volvo/Garmin Glass Bridge navigation displays, teak cockpit and swim platform, and upgraded onboard electrical systems.

With her manageable size, comfortable accommodations, capable performance, and premium equipment, she is equally suited to weekend escapes, extended coastal cruising, and possibly even the Great Loop.

She represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-equipped example of one of Sabre's most successful and desirable modern Downeast designs.
