2018 Sabre 48 Fly Bridge Sedan

The 2018 Sabre 48 Fly Bridge Sedan combines Downeast styling with the open sightlines and comfort of a flybridge design. Twin Volvo diesel engines rated at 1,100 horsepower deliver a cruising speed of 29 knots and a top speed of 33 knots. The fiberglass hull measures 48 feet in length with a 15-foot beam, providing a stable platform for extended cruising or entertaining.

The flybridge features a full hardtop with three-sided fiberglass enclosure and built-in lighting, creating a sheltered entertaining space. A second helm station with joystick control sits forward, with seating for five to six guests and unobstructed views in all directions. Spiral stairs with full steps and handholds connect the flybridge to the cockpit below. The main deck cockpit includes L-shaped seating with a table, a retractable electric Sureshade, teak flooring on the stairs and platform, and a Freedom Lift tender davit. Wide side decks lead forward to a bow lounging pad with storage lockers and windlass access.

The salon centers on an L-shaped lounge to starboard with teak inlay table and helm station featuring dual Stidd seating and full Garmin electronics. A raised mini settee opposite the helm offers a second vantage point underway. The galley includes a stand-up refrigerator, convection microwave, stainless steel sink, and glass cooktop. Three cabins sleep six: the master suite features an athwartship queen berth with Shoji doors and ensuite shower; the forward guest cabin has a centerline queen with recessed and natural lighting; a third cabin below the salon provides additional bunk space alongside a washer and dryer unit. Two heads serve the accommodations.
