Overview
The all-new Sabre 48 Salon Express is their fifth pod driven model and she takes full advantage of this technology of this technology in both her performance to maximize ease of operations and in her interior accommodation plan.
The 48's traditional exterior profile belies the contemporary performances of her vee-hull. She cruises at 27 kots 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 quite that one experiences at cruise speeds.
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 center. While underway the raised settee to port of the Stidd helm chair is a perfect place for the crew to enjoy the ride. This boat is built with a crew quarters and head arrangement.
This boat comes equipped with electric sunroof with sunscreen, teak decking in aft cockpit, central vacuum system, wet bar in salon, upgraded upholstery in the salon and many other features.
