2013 Sabre 48 Salon Express

The 2013 Sabre 48 Salon Express is an exceptional vessel, designed with both performance and luxury in mind. Powered by twin Cummins 500hp diesel motors and equipped with Zeus pod drives, it offers superior handling and efficiency. With only 1167 hours on the engines, the boat is still in prime condition. The joystick control system makes maneuvering in tight spaces effortless, providing peace of mind even in challenging docking situations.

Onboard, the Fusion radio system ensures entertainment for all, while the advanced navigation setup, featuring two Garmin GPS Map 7215 units, guarantees precise and reliable direction. The well-appointed galley includes a Cuisinart microwave and a Vitrifrigo fridge, making meal prep a breeze. Comfort and convenience continue with a Splendide washer and dryer combo, a Beam built-in vacuum cleaner, and a Cummins Onan generator for power needs while at sea. The aft section is equipped with a SureShade, providing extra comfort for outdoor relaxation.

An added bonus is that the seller will be replacing the teak flooring in the salon by October 15, 2024, ensuring the interior is in pristine condition. 

Sabre Yachts, a pioneer in pod drive systems, has used this technology to enhance the vessel's efficiency and ease of use. The 48 Salon Express combines a traditional exterior with modern performance, cruising comfortably at 27 knots and reaching speeds of over 32 knots at full throttle. Thanks to the Zeus pod drive system, the boat handles with the precision of a high-performance vehicle, and its remarkably quiet operation—less than 75 dBa at cruising speed—adds to the luxurious experience.

The layout of the Sabre 48 prioritizes socialization and comfort, with a raised cockpit sole that seamlessly connects the outdoor spaces with the main salon. The salon offers plenty of seating, perfect for entertaining or relaxing while underway, with a raised settee providing a great view next to the helm. The Stidd helm chair ensures a comfortable position for the captain, with a side deck door for easy access during docking. Below deck, the two-cabin, two-head configuration offers ample living space, supplemented by a mechanical area forward of the engine room. This vessel is a perfect balance of performance, luxury, and practicality, making it an ideal choice for any discerning yacht owner.

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.
