Best Priced Sabre 48 Salon Express on the market!!!
This is an extremely rare opportunity to buy a Sabre 48 Salon Express for under $500,000! This vessel has been in climate controlled storage for nearly 3 years. We have just completed a thorough engine, generator, and pod service, full professional interior cleaning throughout! The invoice was $26,000, which included fuel tank cleaning. The vessel has been sea trialed by a certified Cummins Tech and all systems are go! The interior is mold free, and in good condition. The hull will need painted.
The owners put her into storage before returning to Europe and never came back to use it. There is a clear title for immediate sale.
As an early adopter of pod drive systems, Sabre Yachts has a clear understanding of how these revolutionary drives can best be used to increase efficiency, maximize ease of operation and owner confidence. The all-new Sabre 48 Salon Express is our fifth pod driven model and she takes full advantage of this technology in both her performance and in her interior accommodation plan.
The 48's traditional exterior profile belies the contemporary performances of her vee-hull. She cruises at 27 knots and at wide open throttle she'll attain more than 32 knots. With the Zeus pod drive system, turns at speed are as exciting as they are in a fine sports car but perhaps even more exhilarating is the quiet that one experiences at cruise speeds. Less than 75 Dba makes her one of the quietest motoryachts available today. The joystick and Skyhook operations give every Captain the confidence to dock her in the most difficult of circumstances.
Her raised cockpit sole brings together the social aspects of the cockpit and main salon and the aft end of the house opens up fully to connect the spaces. Her main salon offers ample seating surfaces for entertaining or simply relaxing to read or enjoy the standard entertainment systems. While underway the raised settee to port of the Stidd helm chair is a perfect place for the crew to enjoy the ride. And when docking, a standard side deck door serves her helmsman and crew, well. The two cabin, two head layout is supplemented by a mechanical space forward of the engine room. Optionally, this space can be laid out as a crew quarters with berth and head unit.
