The 48 Sabre Salon Express is now on the books as one of Sabre Yachts most successful models in its 50 plus year history!
The 48 Salon Express has a traditional exterior profile that belies her
contemporary performance. She cruises at 28 knots and, and at wide open throttle, she'll attain more than 31 knots. Volvo IPS 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.
She features a configuration of two cabins and two heads, along with a flex space forward of the engine room that is laid out as additional crew quarters. 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.
"Not for Sail," #179 of 200 built, is an excellent example of the venerable model. Some of her notable features include:
- Seakeeper 9
- Sunroof
- Hydraulic Platform
- Starlink
- Awlgrip Topsides Kingston Gray
- Custom bedding
Just hitting the market, the listing and photos are preliminary, but will be updated shortly. "Not for Sail" is worth your consideration and our discussion. Call the listing agent today for details.
