Sabre Yachts Review

Summary

Sabre Yachts is a United States based yacht builder, located in Raymond, Maine. In the last 40 years since Sabre opened for business, over 2500 yachts have been built. The yachts are hand assembled by 175 workers who staff the facility. The company was originally founded by Roger Hewson in 1970. Though many models have been produced over the years, there are three sailboat models and six motor yacht models in production today, ranging from 36 feet to 47 feet in length. Though these are smaller yachts in comparison to others available on the market today, they are incredibly efficient and the boating community loves them. Well known and respected industry leaders such as Yanmar, Lewmar, Hall Spar are suppliers for Sabre because of their high quality products.

Pricing

New pricing information is not publicly available as it is determined by the features and the dealer. We were able to find used models ranging anywhere from $12,000 for older models to over a million for the newer models.

Pros

• The yachts are hand built which tends to lead to higher quality.
• There are both sailing yachts and motor yachts.

Cons

• The hand built boats are typically more expensive than machine made boats.
• There is not an extensive list of model options. These power boats are much smaller than others available on the market today.

Featured Models

Sabre produces both motor yachts and sailing yachts. The motor yacht models are: 34 Express, 38 Express, 40 Sedan, 42 Express, 42 Sedan, and the Salon Express 52. The sailing yachts are: the Spirit, the 386 and the 426.

Conclusion

All yachts are put through a rigorous inspection after production is complete before they are sold to an individual or sent to a dealer for sale. We can see through the 40 years that the company has been around that it is focused on quality and pleasing its customers. There’s even a blog where the company discusses important things such as maintenance, and pretty much anything related to boating including building a motor yacht, boating shows, and more. There is a lot of talk about the company within the boating community because everyone seems to be greatly impressed with their boats, as well as their experiences associated with purchasing the boats. Those who are interested in purchasing one of the Sabre boats can contact a local dealer to get a quote or more information. The website has plenty of specifications and downloadable literature so buyers can educate themselves before ever picking up the phone.
