When Sabre Yachts launched its 45 Salon Express, which has 49 feet of resin-infused biaxial E-glass and a modified-V hull form, the builder presented a downeaster with high-end amenities and luxury finishes.
The yacht has a two-stateroom layout with a guest stateroom to starboard and a master forward. The galley has what the builder calls a “half-up” arrangement, meaning it’s two steps down from the salon and two steps up from the accommodations.
At press time, there were 10 Sabre 45 Salon Express boats available, ranging from $959,000 to $1.29 million.

“Some 15 knots of wind and a soaking rain nearly canceled my sea trial of the Sabre 45 Salon Express, given the bay’s shallow contours and an opposing tide and wind. Five minutes after we cleared the breakwater and opened upthe throttles on the pair of 435 hp Volvo Penta D6 diesels coupled to IPS600 drives, the weather was an afterthought.”
