2017 Sabre 48 Salon Express

The 2017 Sabre 48 Salon Express is a 48-foot Downeast cruiser built with a fiberglass hull in a deep vee configuration. Twin Cummins QSC 8.3 diesel engines produce 550 horsepower each, delivering a cruising speed of 27 knots and a maximum speed of 32 knots. The boat is outfitted with joystick control and an electric windlass for handling, along with trim tabs for enhanced performance and comfort.

The interior layout includes four cabins and two heads. The open salon design prioritizes comfort for extended cruising, with a cruising range of 347 miles. Accommodation is available for a large group of guests.

Recent maintenance includes servicing of the Zeus pods and coolers, annual Cummins engine service, and bottom paint completed in November 2025. In April 2026, the aftercoolers were replaced, the cooling system was serviced, and a pre-season inspection was completed by Southeast Marine Power.
