Classic and timeless.
by Capt. Tom Serio
With classic interior accommodations and timeless exterior lines, the Sabre 58 Salon Express is an elegant cruiser with speed and range to back her up.
The partially covered aft deck can be further shaded by an electric awning. Dual staircases from the swim platform flank the transom bench.
Surrounded by full side windows, a triple-pane windshield, glass bulkhead doors and electric sunroof, the salon is bright and airy, with great views from any seat. Enjoy meals at the U-shaped settee to port with a varnished wood dining table. Relax across the way on the sofa while watching the 43-inch LED TV.
Locating the galley aft puts it mid-way on the main deck, making it easy to serve those aft or in the salon. Low-profile appliances, including drawer-style fridge/freezers, maintain an open feel.
For the cruising couple, twin seats at the helm, a starboard-side deck door and Volvo Glass Helm assist in easy operation. A viewing bench seat is to port.
Below, a full-beam master is midship with a walk- around king berth, multiple lockers, ensuite head with shower stall and a desk/vanity. Forward is the VIP with a queen berth, and the third stateroom has separate twin berths that convert to a double berth.
Power comes from a pair of standard twin Volvo- Penta D11 IPS2 950 engines, pushing 725 hp each. At 2300 RPM, the cruising sweet spot, the yacht runs at 26.7 knots, drinking a mere 57 gph. More notable is the interior noise level — or lack thereof. Even at wide-open throttle, the 58 tops out over 31 knots with helm noise measured at just 64 dBA.
“These sound levels set a new industry standard for boats this size, and we couldn’t be more proud of our design, engineering and production teams for their gold-star performance,” says Bentley Collins, VP of marketing and sales at Sabre Yachts.
For a perfect lake or Loop yacht, the Sabre 58 Salon Express needs to be on your short list.
