This vessel was just surveyed, all minor deficiencies remedied, and she’s absolutely ready to go. Price just reduced and owner says sell now!


This beautiful Sabre 38 has had only two owners and the current owner has doted over her to a very high level. When she was purchased by the current owner in 2017, a number of significant upgrades were made and almost every year there have been improvements. She also has an impeccable history of service. Take these upgrades, strong service history along with one of Sabre's most popular models and this becomes a boat that needs to be seen! She was Awlgripped Flag Blue in 2021 and just looks great!  Mechanical services are up-to-date, including servicing of aftercoolers and heat exchangers along with new turbos. This boat should not last long on the market!

Manufacturer Provided Description

The Sabre 38 Salon Express represents the latest in design and naval architecture. Her exterior profile still says "downeast" and she is built in the tradition of Maine boat building: beautiful, strong, steady, reliable and very seaworthy. Yet below her skin, technology is everywhere: from her resin infused laminates, to state of the art systems, to her pod propulsion drive. Her hull lines are the latest thinking in vee-hulled motor yachts and are specifically designed for the installation of pods, allowing fuel economy, quiet running and a pleasant dry ride.

The pod drive train of the Sabre 38 offers excellent fuel economy, an important consideration in these days of uncertain diesel prices. Pods also lower noise by pushing out exhaust through the propeller stream and importantly allow confident boat handling when docking or maneuvering in tight spaces.

In her interior the Sabre 38 Salon Express provides an open design which will suit a day's outing with friends as easily as a longer cruise. Her cockpit is raised to a level just 5 inches below the main salon so as to connect these two important social spaces, and the aft end of the house opens with drop down windows and a swing door.

In her main salon a large, U-shaped settee with fold over table will seat up to three couples, while the forward end of the settee can be oriented forward to provide a comfortable perch when underway. To starboard, aft of the Stidd helm seat, is a long cabinet housing an LED television on an electric lift and storage compartments for the owners gear.
