Vessel Walkthrough:

Stepping aboard St. Bonaventure from the extended swim platform, you're welcomed into a spacious cockpit designed for both entertaining and comfortable cruising. The SureShade retractable awning provides shade on demand, while the cockpit seating, ice maker, and easy access to the engine room create a functional space for relaxing at anchor or enjoying a day underway.


Entering the salon through the stainless-steel sliding door, you're greeted by Sabre's signature handcrafted cherry interior, large windows, and an open, inviting layout. Twin Stidd helm seats overlook the Garmin electronics suite, Zeus joystick controls, and bow thruster, while the custom salon seating and fully equipped galley make this an ideal space for extended cruising. Below, the desirable three-stateroom, three-head layout offers comfortable accommodations, featuring a full-beam master suite, a forward VIP stateroom, and a private guest cabin, all finished with premium joinery and abundant storage.


Wide side decks lead safely forward to the foredeck, where stainless-steel rails, teak accents, and the electric windlass provide secure and convenient access when anchoring or handling lines. Powered by twin Cummins QSC 550-horsepower diesel engines with Zeus pod drives and Skyhook positioning.


Backed by an exceptionally detailed maintenance history and continuous preventative care, St. Bonaventure reflects an ownership philosophy centered on reliability, performance, and pride of ownership.
