The 2013 Sabre 48 Salon Express "Next Chapter" is an exceptional example of one of Sabre's most sought-after models, blending timeless Downeast styling, quality craftsmanship, and impressive cruising performance. Meticulously maintained with an outstanding ownership history, she presents in remarkable condition and is ready for her next owner.
From 2013 through 2020, Next Chapter was kept exclusively in the freshwater of the Great Lakes and stored indoors for approximately six months each year. Since arriving in Florida in 2020, she has been used only seasonally from November through March before being stored in a climate-controlled indoor facility. In December of 2024, she was shipped back up to the Great Lakes, where she has been cruising during the summer season since. With limited environmental exposure and a stringent maintenance program, she shows far newer than her age.
Powered by twin 550 HP Cummins QSC 8.3 diesel engines with Zeus pod drives, Next Chapter cruises comfortably in the mid-20-knot range and reaches top speeds in the low 30s. Joystick controls provide effortless docking, while the pod-drive system delivers a smooth, quiet ride.
Below deck, she features a full-beam midship owner's suite and forward VIP stateroom, both with private en suite heads, along with an optional crew cabin offering a double berth, en suite head, washer/dryer, and additional storage.
The open salon, helm, and fully equipped galley create a bright, inviting space for entertaining or extended cruising. Offering the comfort of a much larger yacht while maintaining the ease of handling of a 48-foot express cruiser, Next Chapter is a truly turnkey opportunity.
