Yorktown, Virginia

$1,349,000

The Mar-Kat is a wonderfully appointed Sabre 48 that was custom built by her Great Loop veteran owners. She has been impeccably maintained by her owners and has had lots of fresh water use, including spending this past summer in the Great Lakes. She has the full 3rd stateroom with head, a custom grill cabinet in the cockpit and tender and tender lift on the swim platform. All fluids and filters have just been changed and she is ready for her new owners.

Manufacturers Descriptions
Sabre 48 Salon Express: An Ideal Combination of Evolution and Revolution.

The 48 Salon Express has a traditional exterior profile that belies her contemporary performance. She cruises at 29 knots and, and at wide open throttle, she'll attain more than 32 knots. Pod drives and joystick controls give every owner-operator the confidence to dock her in the most difficult of circumstances, and remarkably low sound levels while underway allow for a more pleasant experience while cruising.

Featuring a standard configuration of two cabins and two heads, the 48 Salon Express is supplemented by a utility space forward of the engine room that is laid out as additional crew quarters and head. Designed with our customers in mind, her galley-down layout doesn't compromise on space and light, making food and drink preparation a pure pleasure. Unique to the Sabre 48 design, her master berth and en-suite head have an athwartships orientation, allowing for flat cabin sole on all side of the spacious island queen.
