"Sabre’s 40 Sedan melds the best of the new with tried and true. Classic down east lines ride a modern planing hull. Sophisticated coring and vacuum-infusion techniques provide great strength with minimal weight. Twin 380 hp Cummins Zeus pods deliver efficient cruising speeds from 15 to 30 mph, with sportscar-like acceleration and maneuverability to make an old salt grin like a kid. Not bad for a classy-looking 40- foot cruising “lobster yacht” that shows off plenty of teak." ~ Boating

New Zeus Drive lower units were installed in July of 2024 with 1 year Warranty from Mercury through July of 2025.

     Tempest is a well-maintained example of the Sabre 40 Sedan. With detailed records and a recent survey (February/March 2022) this boat should represent very good value on today's market. This is a second owner vessel that has detailed service history and has seen a strong level of maintenance.

Details

  “At Sabre Yachts our goal has always been to fulfill the dreams and wishes of our boat owners by listening carefully to their requests and blending their ideas into exciting designs. We consider our owners and potential owners to be valued members of the Sabre Design Team. The Sabre 40 is the result of our observation that our clients want to enjoy the same levels of personal luxury and comfort that they have come to expect in their homes and in their automobiles. To that end we have developed a style of sedan, available with or without fly bridge, that permits boaters to operate from the comfort of the yacht's interior or from the openness of an optional fly bridge. Technology is advancing rapidly, and our owners have come to expect that if there is a new technology available, we will employ it in our designs. We have dramatically changed the way we build our yachts and the way in which they are propelled. Traditional values such as fine craftsmanship and great looks remain, as our owners have come to expect, but below the surface things are state-of-the-art. 

     The new Sabre 40 Sedan is quieter, more fuel efficient and more maneuverable. She also offers more of the touches that make your boating experience exceptional. The Sabre 40 allows you to enjoy the same levels of personal luxury and comfort that exist in your homes and automobiles. To that end, we have designed and built a new style of motoryacht… Exceptionally low wind, vibration and noise levels allow for a very pleasurable boating experience.” ~ Sabre 40 Sedan Brochure

 “Our fiberglass shop has changed to infusion molding, a process that is greener as it uses less resin, and cleaner with lower emissions levels. The hull and deck are lighter allowing the yacht to run faster and use less fuel. Unlike traditional hand lay-up, all materials are loaded dry into the mold stack, and then, infused with resin. This creates a stronger part with higher glass to resin ratios.” ~ Sabre 40 Sedan Brochure
