2015 Sabre 48 Salon Express “MYSTIC ADVENTURE”

Sabre 48 Salon Express Options And Upgrades
Design and Performance



As an early adopter of pod drive systems, Sabre Yachts has a clear understanding of how these revolutionary drives can best be used to increase efficiency, maximize ease of operation and owner confidence. The Sabre 48 Salon Express is our fifth pod driven model and she takes full advantage of this technology in both her performance and in her interior accommodation plan.



The 48’s traditional exterior profile belies the contemporary performances of her vee-hull. She cruises at 27 knots 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 quiet that one experiences at cruise speeds. Less than 75 Dba makes her one of the quietest motoryachts available today. The joystick and Skyhook operations give every Captain the confidence to dock her in the most difficult of circumstances.



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 systems. While underway the raised settee to port of the Stidd helm chair is a perfect place for the crew to enjoy the ride. And when docking, a standard side deck door serves her helmsman and crew, well. The two cabin, two head layout is supplemented by a living space forward of the engine room, accessed through the salon sole.

Owners’ Stateroom



I am not aware of any other vessel with a mid-ship stateroom for the owners. There should be more. It is absolutely the best use of space, being the widest part of the boat. It creates a true walk around queen with ample storage and great access to the private head and shower as well as just opposite the galley for the midnight snack. Between the overhead hatch, side deck ports, reading lights and dimmable recessed lighting the cabin feels open and warm. It gives you an easy adjustment to living aboard without sacrifice.

Main Salon



Entering from the aft deck through the glass bi-fold door, you notice how accommodating Guardian’s salon is. You could easily entertain six or seven guest for drinks and snacks. Dinner around the gorgeous high gloss cherry and birds eye maple table would be best with four, but you could slide in a fifth. You have 360 degree views, but blinds for all surrounding window when you want your privacy. Covers for the front three windows. You even have a large skylight for the star gazing. Between the elegant runner, teak and holly sole, leather cushions and all the satin varnished cherry, you will feel warm and at home. With the comforts of air conditioning the Fusion stereo and extra cushion you have no need to leave until you feel like cruising to a new harbor.
