If you've been waiting for a late-model Sabre 48 Salon Express, then PIPER should be at the top of your list!
PIPER presents exceptionally well and reflects the kind of ownership every buyer hopes to find. She has been meticulously maintained and cared for.
The exterior finishes show beautifully, and the interior retains the warm, refined appearance expected from Sabre's Maine craftsmanship.
More importantly, the same level of care extends beyond what you can see. Machinery spaces and systems show as new, and routine maintenance has been taken seriously.
The 48 Salon Express design remains one of the most appealing combinations in the Downeast market: timeless styling, excellent visibility, comfortable entertaining spaces and a layout equally well suited to a day on the water or extended cruising. Sabre combines traditional Maine-built craftsmanship with modern propulsion and systems in a package designed to be comfortable, quiet and easily handled by an owner-operator.
Late-model Sabres in genuinely exceptional condition are difficult to duplicate. If you are considering a late model 48, this represents an opportunity to step into a well-sorted, well maintained vessel today.
She deserves serious consideration from anyone looking for a premium Downeast yacht and, importantly, will not disappoint when seen in person.
If condition and maintenance history are at the top of your list, then PIPER is the one to see!

The 48 Salon Express has a traditional exterior profile that belies her contemporary performance. She cruises at 30 + knots and, at wide open throttle, she’ll attain more than 36 knots. Pod drives and joystick controls give every owner-operator the confidence to dock her in the most difficult of circumstances, and remarkably low sound levels while underway allow for a more pleasant experience while cruising.
Featuring a standard configuration of two cabins and two heads, the 48 Salon Express is supplemented by a utility space forward of the engine room that can be laid out as additional crew quarters. Designed with our customers in mind, her galley-down layout doesn’t compromise on space and light, making food and drink preparation a pure pleasure. Unique to the Sabre 48 design, her master berth and en-suite head have an athwartships orientation, allowing for flat cabin sole on all side of the spacious island queen.
