Downeast quality, class and style.

The Sabre 43 Salon Express (SE) is the result of the collaboration between owners, designers and engineers that’s been refined and perfected since 1989, when the first of its motoryacht range was launched.

“People are never surprised by the quality of a Sabre but they are always surprised by their performance. The Sabre 43 SE has an impressive cruise speed of 31 knots with a WOT of 35 knots (with the Volvo Penta IPS 650 engine package) and a range of over 300 nautical miles,” says Bay Marine’s Mark Felhofer.

Her distinctive profile and classic exterior lines are steeped in the Maine approach to boat-building and Downeast good looks. Step aboard and be greeted by teak and holly interior decks, American cherrywood furniture, roomy and comfortable accommodations, and more than enough storage spaces.

The main salon features a seating/dining area to starboard with additional seating space opposite. The helm, with individual seats for driver and co-pilot up on their own beautifully fashioned console, presents the fine craftsmanship and excellent woodwork Sabre is known for. The fully found, half-up galley is opposite the helm, and forward and down a short staircase is the forepeak primary, head and convertible lounge, which can double as a guest berth. Rounding things out is an all-purpose utility room beneath the salon sole for side-by-side washer/dryer units or additional storage.

“For the cruising couple who likes to entertain guests occasionally, the Sabre 43 SE has the proper live-aboard extended range capabilities with a hull that’s designed to comfortably handle rough seas,” Felhofer adds.

The Sabre 43 SE will provide many nautical miles of comfortable and safe travel (she is built to CE Category B standards) for a cruising couple or family. With a full list of standard equipment and options including a Seakeeper 6 gyro, FreedomLift tender lift and a power sunroof with sunscreen, your Sabre 43 SE will be a personal statement of ownership.
