New to market in San Diego, LEGASEA is a 2018 Sabre 48 Salon Express that her current owner brought to the West Coast for extended cruising. After a brief run of cruising on the East Coast and in Mexico, a change in plans now brings her to market in Southern California.
Her main level is made for entertaining. The cockpit, salon, and helm all share one level, and an electrically operated drop-down window opens the salon to the cockpit. Seating is plentiful, with an L-shaped settee in the cockpit, an L-shaped settee to starboard and a bench settee to port in the salon, and an L-shaped mate's lounge beside the helm. Fusion audio runs separate inside and outside zones, and Samsung TVs in the salon and both staterooms round out the entertainment. The cockpit features Sabre's factory-upgrade fiberglass cabinet with electric grill, sink, and refrigerator, along with teak decking and a SureShade telescoping awning. Below, both staterooms offer a queen island berth and a dedicated head with stall shower.
Her current owner keeps her on a thorough preventative service schedule, continuing the standard set by her previous owner. Both Volvo D8-700 engines and IPS pods were serviced in February 2026, followed by full service of both cooling systems with new heat exchangers and oil coolers, plus new raw water pumps and intake hoses. The Cummins Onan generator was serviced with new exhaust hoses, and she has new AGM house batteries, a new Xantrex inverter/charger, new shore power transfer switches, and Starlink.
Twin Volvo D8-700s with IPS pods deliver a smooth 27 knot cruise, while joystick control with dynamic positioning, auto trim, and a Seakeeper 5 keep her easy to handle and comfortable at anchor and underway. Navigation runs through dual Volvo/Garmin 8617 glass displays with Garmin radar and autopilot.
She is located at Safe Harbor Sunroad Resort on Harbor Island. Call or email us today to schedule a private showing.
