Sabre Yachts For Sale

Sabre Yachts are perhaps one of the most well-known downeast-style boats on the water today. The classic Maine "Lobster Boat" as they were once called, are designed to handle choppy seas while keeping the captain and guests comfortable to enjoy their day on the water.

Since 1970, Sabre Yachts have been crafting some of the most luxurious downeast yachts in the industry. Based in Maine, the company’s founder, Roger Hewson, set out to build the finest 28-ft sailing yacht, which enabled him to produce 29-45 foot sailboat models for the next forty years.   In 1989, the “Fast Trawler” was introduced and made the Sabre name become a prominent one. In 1995, Sabre then obtained North End Composites of Rockland, Maine – a large manufacturer of marine molds and fiberglass parts. Having this relationship allowed Sabre to produce powerboat models from 38 to 66 feet with Salon Express and Fly Bridge variations using up-to-date technology and production line methods. Now Sabre acquires two boat yards, one in Raymond and the other in Rockland connected by their sister company, Back Cove Yachts.

Sabre and Back Cove employ what they call “boat parents” – these are employees who follow each boat through the manufacturing process and act as the eyes of the consumer. In order to correspond to this process, all boats are given a 600-point inspection over six separate stages, which ends with a twelve-page report to be inspected. This cycle led to the Sabre name having a reputation – a company that values its product to the most extremes. Throughout the years Sabre has become a well-known and established name by listening carefully to its owners and dealerships. Continuously refining their product, Sabre has taken pride in designing and manufacturing boats that make sense to boaters. Offering cruise speeds of 25 knots with top end speeds in excess of 30 knots, Sabre models have established themselves to have top quality features and innovative designs.

From her functional foredeck to her top-of-the-line deck hardware, the 66 Dirigo is the largest and most luxurious Sabre motor yacht to date. Debuting in 2015, the 66 is the first American-built Downeast-style motor yacht of this size. Making great impressions for any boat goer, the 66’ offers a spacious and comfortable cockpit that is suitable for any social gathering. Entering the saloon via two glass sliding doors with stainless frames, you will see an unusually open floorplan with light shining in from the glass doors aft, three windshield panes forward, and the super-sized skylight. Cherry cabinets and fine granite countertops are placed throughout making every detail catch the eye. The helm deck is elevated with a three-person L-shaped settee, which is made with classic blue leather. Below deck in the accommodations, you can find a surprising amount of standing headroom within the midships master and a VIP stateroom with a walk-around queen bed. Underway, this model powers along, smooth and strong making it a lovely ride in any condition. Crafted by boat builders with decades of experience, her systems are modern and functional making this model one of the best from Sabre Yachts.

54 Flybridge

Sophisticated and welcoming, the 54’ Flybridge was created to offer not just a boat, but also a truly luxurious experience. Completed with a L-shaped settee and captain and mates seating, the 54’ creates an enhanced cruising experience for any boat owner. Featuring three berths, two heads, a half-up galley, and a spacious salon – this model is perfect for those looking for that weekend getaway or cocktail cruise with some friends. The cherry joinery in the salon glows from the effects of the outdoors coming in. Among the salon sits the galley a few steps down, which features clean lines and top appliances that can be seen with the light pouring through. Plenty of stowage can be found in the forward stateroom, with an opening overhead hatch and an ensuite head with a circular door. Not only are the accommodations appealing, but the engine room features gelcoat interior and diamond plate sole. Easily accessible, the engine room displays state-of-the-art equipment, and most notably has low noise. This model is no stranger to those who appreciate high standards for a downeast-style boat and will provide a smooth, enjoyable cruise.

48 Salon Express

An ideal combination of evolution and revolution, the 48 Salon Express is most notably known for its exterior profile that gives credit to her performance. Cruising at 27 knots with an open throttle, the 48 can even reach up to 32 knots comfortably. Low sound levels make this model easily enjoyable while cruising, while the pod drives and joystick controls give every boat operator confidence to dock her in any condition. Designed with light and space in mind, the two cabin, two head layout is supplemented by a utility space forward of the engine room that can be used as additional crew space. The galley-down layout allows guests to enjoy preparing food and drink for any gathering. The cockpit also offers a welcoming surprise by displaying a one-level arrangement that works extremely well for entertaining and allows for a seamless transition from the swim platform to the salon. Additionally, the 48’ does a superb job in creating the feeling of openness by including an optional sunroof that can be opened with the aft window lowered – offering plenty of breeze flying and saltwater aroma from the outdoors. Every detail included works perfectly creating a timeless, elegant, yet contemporary design.

42 Salon Express

Established as being an excellent day boat and coastal cruiser, the Sabre 42’ offers panoramic views and was built with comfort in mind. The Sabre Salon keeps the spacious layout in the interior and on deck – giving owners comfort, luxury and ample options for entertaining and socializing. Surrounded with windows, the salon features cherry wood and fiberglass walls throughout the main cabin, which is exposed with light through the triple-paned windshield and large side windows to the aft. From the captain’s chair, there is a 360-degree visibility making it easily manageable and enjoyable. The 42’s aft deck will not disappoint with its L-shaped settee that includes an oval table and two-person bench settee that can seat up to six guests. Storage space can be accessed through the galley, that includes stainless drawers and granite counter tops. Below deck, you can be transported into the world of traditional New England craftsmanship and sensible design. Satin varnish and quality woodwork raises the level of luxury throughout the cabin. This model begs its owners to enjoy the cruising life as well as appreciate those fine details that Sabre is known for.

The Sabre story began in 1970 when the company's founder, Roger Hewson, set out to build a 28-foot sailing yacht in the small town of South Casco, ME. Introduced in 1971 at the Newport Boat Show, the Sabre 28 was a resounding success; during the next fifteen years 588 Sabre 28's were built. With the decline of the sailing industry in the late 1980s, in 1989 Sabre sought to broaden its market and created the first Sabre 36 “Fast Trawler”. The success of their first model led to the introduction of the Sabreline 34 in 1990. Today more than half of Sabre’s production is dedicated to power boats ranging in size from 38' to 52' in length. Sabre’s manufacturing facilities are located in Raymond, ME, 25 miles north of Portland. Sabre Yachts has been producing sail and motor yachts for 40 years, and has built over 4,000 hulls to date.

The company dates back to 1970, and is headquartered in Raymond, Maine, slightly northwest of Portland.

The first sailboat offered by the company was the venerable Sabre 28, a Jim Taylor design that set the foundation for the company’s sailboat line, as well as reasonably high customer expectations, for good-looking, moderate displacement performance cruisers that satisfied the needs of cruising sailors looking for a sailboat that hits all the buttons. Sabre’s sailboats were perfect for weekend coastal cruising for couples and small families and came with all the cachet of being hand-built in Maine. The boats have enough hardwood in their interiors to meet the demands for that traditional Downeast  look, and the company used quality hardware, spars, and rigging to satisfy experienced sailors. Almost 600 Sabre 28s were launched. 

Sabre Yachts founder Roger Hewson came out with several updated versions of the Sabre 28, each better, faster, and offering a better sailing experience. The company also built on its success by introducing new models, including the Sabre 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 42, 425, and 452 models. Several of these boats were successful enough that the builder kept improving them in subsequent versions, incorporating the inevitable advances in construction and technology that the sailing industry came upon during the years. All Sabre sailboats are traditional masthead sloops, perfect for cruising and racing on the weekend circuit.

In 1989 the company introduced its first powerboat, the Sabre 36, a “fast trawler” which made a splash into the growing interest from the trawler cruising community. Its standard twin diesel engines provided the faster cruising speed many were looking for, in a practical design that embodied enough of the Maine influence that has been synonymous with Sabre since 1970.

In 1994, the company acquired North End Marine of Rockland, and the new company, renamed North End Composites, focused on producing fiberglass hulls and decks for the company’s line up, which by the mid-2000s had moved to the powerboat-only segment of recreational boating. 

Living through changes in the recreational market, Sabre Yachts survived during the decline of consumer demand for sailboats, and ultimately decided to get out of the sailboat business entirely. The company looked to the horizon, and then focused its development, production, and marketing efforts on a new line of traditional Maine-inspired, Sabre-designed Downeast Cruisers. These new powerboat models would offer comfortable and luxury accommodations in a faster cruising boat that retained all the elements of a Maine-inspired cruiser, keeping with traditional interiors and profiles. In short order, Sabre Yachts made the successful switch from sailboat manufacturer to builder of quality cruising powerboats that offer higher speed with all the comforts of the trawler lifestyle. 

The ongoing evolution of Sabre’s Downeast powerboats are seen in today’s lineup of Salon Express cruisers that combine very comfortable, somewhat traditional accommodations with the performance offered by having twin Volvo IPS drives. The models range from the Salon 38 Express up to the flagship 58-foot Express.

Sabre sailboats are still popular and boats that have been lovingly cared for are still in demand. People who own or search for a Sabre 38 Mark II, for example, appreciate the timeless, classic look of a traditional sailing yacht, and know they can expect continued customer support from the company for parts, service, and information. The attractive 38-footer offers a layout with two staterooms, 6’4” headroom throughout, three keel options (from 6’6” deep keel to 4’11” wing keel), in an easily-driven, moderate displacement hull with a 31’5” waterline. The boat has a very comfortable 8-foot-long cockpit outfitted with the best hardware for spirited sailing and occasional racing. 

The profile of all Sabre sailboats says it all about the classic beauty of the company’s design program. The Sabre 38’s standard 35hp diesel engine and the boat’s fuel and water tankage are more than adequate for successful weekend cruising along the coasts, particularly in New England waters where the boats are seen everywhere.

Sabre’s Downeast-style yachts all have the performance of a contemporary motor yacht. The standard design includes twin engines to provide cruising speeds in the 20-knot range, and the deep-vee hulls typically top out near 30 knots, depending on optional power. When combined with the unmatched maneuverability of the IPS propulsion system, operating one of these beauties is something all boaters need to experience.

The Sabre 43 is a good example of this Downeast powerboat line. It has a sleek look instantly recognizable as a Sabre, and the interior proportions and accommodations closely match those of other Downeast cruisers of this size. A large island berth is a standard feature of Sabre’s forward stateroom, while the saloon shares space and storage with both helm and galley, each of which are well sized for a yacht of this size and outfitted to meet the demands of any yachtsman. The Sabre 43 is also commissioned as a fully networked yacht and all controls and functions can be controlled and monitored from either the helm displays or one’s iPad. Remote monitoring of critical systems is certainly a glimpse into the future of powerboat cruising and Sabre intends to stay at the cutting edge of this technology.

Sabre Yachts has come a long way in the past 50 years, while remaining true to its Maine roots. Its staff of talented craftsmen are very experienced and stay on top of new production techniques and technology. Sabre sailboats are still easily recognized, and stand out in any anchorage or yacht club outing. Sabre’s powerboats showcase fast yacht performance and efficiency as they pass most all other boats on the waterways.

While some lament the demise of the company’s sailboat line, the future is all about convenience, technology, and lasting value. Sabre Yachts feels its powerboats embody these essential qualities rather well.

This makes the company well positioned for today and many years to come. Sabre's sister company is Back Cove Yachts .

About sabre yachts.

Inspired by the traditional lobster fishing boats of Maine, Sabre Yachts has always specialized in Downeast-style vessels. Founded in 1970 and located in Raymond, Maine, this company is proud to maintain a tradition that stretches back to the 17th century yet builds its yachts with the most modern methods and the latest in cutting-edge nautical equipment.

More About Sabre Yachts

Roger Hewson started Sabre Yachts in 1970 with the intention of building the finest Downeast-style yachts in America. His first model was a 28-foot, fiberglass sailing yacht that was launched at the 1971 Newport Boat Show. The boat was an immediate success with critics and buyers alike and the firm went on to sell 588 of these vessels over the next 15 years. In 1989 Hewson decided to move into the world of motorboats, and launched the Sabre 36, a fast tri-cabin trawler yacht with the durability of bluewater vessels and the sparkling charm of a Maine lobster boat.

When Hewson retired from yacht building in the early 1990s the company was acquired by current joint chairmen Daniel Zilkha and Ed Miller. Zilkha was a founding partner at a Geneva-based investment bank, while Miller was vice-president of Rothschild Inc, but both were living in Maine at the time and wanted to get involved in the state’s rich heritage of boatbuilding. This move proved highly fortuitous. Since the company changed hands, Sabre Yachts has grown exponentially, constantly innovating and introducing new models, and selling vessels to owners who are now located in all four corners of the globe. In 1994 Sabre acquired North End Marine, a Maine builder of molds and production fibreglass, to ensure their ability to keep up with unprecedented consumer demand. In 2003, meanwhile, Sabre launched Back Cove yachts, a subsidiary that focuses on the production of smaller motorboats. Since their founding, the firm has manufactured over 4,000 yachts across dozens of models.

Today Sabre concentrates their abilities on motor yachts in both Flybridge and Salon Express models, ranging from 38 to 66 feet in length. Their top performing vessels clock in top speeds of over 30 knots, and benefit from Sabre’s proprietary planed, vee-hulls. Every Sabre yacht is also built with luxury and comfort in mind, and their spacious interiors are finished with the highest level of craftsmanship. The company partners with top range suppliers to source materials for their yachts, which can be decked out in glazed teak, cherrywood and cedar. Sold as new cost, these yachts between $700,000 and $3.5 million, so appeal to both the dayboat and luxury cruising market. Sabre owners are known to head out into the Atlantic and Caribbean for longer journeys but are just as likely to be found cruising the passages and inlets of New England or Washington State’s Puget Sound.

The company now runs two boatyards, one in Raymond, Maine and another upstate in coastal Rockland, Maine, where a dedicated team of more than 350 associates and skilled employees build their yachts with VIP resin infusion technology. Sabre Yachts benefits from a low turnover in staff, allowing the company to establish a strong business ethos based on trust and experience. Staff at this company give every yacht launched by Sabre a 600-point inspection plan across the entire manufacturing process to ensure the final product is as safe, reliable and high quality as possible. Based on production output Sabre is now Maine’s largest builder of recreational boats and yachts, no mean feat given the rich and vibrant boat-building tradition of the Pine Tree State. The company has also garnered plenty of prizes and titles down the years, including an impressive six “Boat of the Year” awards from Cruising World and Sailing World magazines.

SABRE MODELS

Sabre Dirigo Salon Express 66

Sabre’s largest yacht by length and one of the largest Downeast-style yachts ever launched in America, the Dirigo Salon Express 66 measures almost 74 feet when including the rear swimming platform. The name Dirigo is Latin for “I Lead”, a reference to Maine’s official motto, highlighting Sabre’s ties to this most maritime of states. The yacht also happens to be one of Sabre’s most luxurious and well-built models ever put to water. Launched in 2016, it boasts a helm dash finished in cherry with a wood-trimmed, stainless steel wheel, a spacious main salon with U-shaped sofa to port, starboard lounge chairs and a fully equipped bar deck. The yacht’s three staterooms are sumptuous affairs, with cherrywood ceilings and wall-panels, accent lighting, plush queen-sized beds and climate control. The galley is large enough for full kitchen facilities including microwave, induction cooktop and convection steam oven, ideal for owners who wish to take their vessel out to sea for longer journeys. The yacht also excels when it comes to performance, with dual Volvo IPS engines delivering top speeds of around 30 knots and a cruising range of up to 900 miles.

Sabre Fly Bridge Sedan 42

It was Sabre’s loyal customer-base who provided the impetus for the creation of the Fly Bridge Sedan 42. Time and again the company would hear that buyers wanted that open air and elemental experience on their yacht, and so decided to create a refined, high-performance vessel topped with a sublime flybridge. The bridge is fitted with all navigational and cruising controls required to steer this vessel to distant coves and hidden bays, but is also a superb place for al fresco entertaining, with a rear L-shaped sofa and pair of pilot’s seats. The yacht is fitted with Cummins Zeus inboard pod-drives for a top speed of around 33 knots and a quiet and responsive ride, while interior spaces retain Sabre’s signature lavish and sedate styling.

Sabre Salon Express 38

This reliable and seaworthy vessel is the most compact yacht currently sold by Sabre at 41 feet in length, and is perfect for those who use their vessels for day trips and leisurely weekend cruises. 360-degree sightlines at the helm are designed for owner-operators who want to chart their own course, while Volvo Penta engines will rocket this yacht to top speeds of 36 knots. At the lowest cruising speeds the Sabre Salon Express 38 has an oceanic range of over 1,000 nautical miles, while guests can rest overnight in the spacious master-stateroom V-berth which is large enough to accommodate a double-bed and ample storage. At night relax under the stars on the aft deck which is fitted with a comfortable transom sofa and console table, or enjoy a spot of underwater snorkelling during the day from the yacht’s retractable swimming platform.
