The Ultimate Layout for the Cruising Couple

This Sabre 48 was the first iteration Sabre commissioned with a custom salon and utility room. The original owners worked with the Sabre design team to create a unique, custom salon that feels materially bigger than the standard layout. It includes comfortable recliner seating, larger retractable HDTV, hi-low dining table, built-in ice maker, settee extension for additional sleeping and more. The totally re-imagined utility space improves storage, functionality and access without imposing on the salon. It includes a full size washer and dryer plus ample storage for spare parts, provisions for extended cruising, golf clubs, tools and supplies ---this utility space can hold it all!

 UPDATES:

  • New AB 10 ALX with Garmin display, transducer and custom Sunbrella cover-April 2024

  • Extensive Garmin Electronics, Intellian SAT TV, WIFI and antenna and router.
  • Complete with long list of factory and custom options designed for cruising comfort and functionality.

Quickly becoming a popular alternative layout to the traditional Sabre 48, "MiMi" was the first to reimagine use of space, and arguably still the best and most well equipped to date.
