The 2023 Sabre 48 Salon Express is a Downeast-style motor yacht built in fiberglass with a beam of 15.33 feet. Twin Volvo Penta diesel engines deliver 1,100 horsepower combined. The boat features a galley-down layout that prioritizes open social space in the main salon, where an L-shaped settee and convertible high-low table create flexible seating and sleeping options. Large windows and a stainless-steel framed door open the interior to the cockpit.
The master stateroom spans the beam athwartship, with the bed oriented side-to-side rather than fore-and-aft, creating an open feel and flat cabin floor. Two additional cabins and two heads complete the accommodation plan. Beneath the salon sole sits a dedicated utility room with crew quarters and a separate berth, plus washer and dryer units and a built-in Vitrifirigo freezer/refrigerator drawer with storage drawers below.
The twin Volvo Penta engines are configured with joystick control and dynamic positioning capability, making docking and maneuvering straightforward in varying conditions. With only 119 hours of operation, the engines remain well within their service life.
