The Sabre 43 Salon Express ushers in a modern take on Downeast style—its sleek pilothouse, expansive windows, and gently sloped deck rails are unmistakably Sabre yet confidently forward-looking. Fully networked systems let you monitor and control lighting and key functions from the helm or remotely via Sabre Connect™.
Step aboard and you’re set up to entertain inside and out. The cockpit features a large L-shaped settee with table plus twin aft-facing seats flanking the salon door. A transom door opens to the broad swim platform, and wide, secure side decks to port and starboard make line-handling easy.
Inside the salon, the 43 feels a class larger with opposing six-foot settees and forward twin helm chairs. Because the engines are set farther aft, a flexible utility space lives beneath the salon—ideal for an optional washer/dryer or extra gear.
Just a few steps down is the “half-up” galley to port: open to the salon for great sightlines yet tucked down for optimal workspace. To starboard, a versatile U-shaped lounge serves as a dining nook, quiet retreat, or converts to a guest berth. Forward, the owner’s stateroom carries Sabre’s signature warmth with an island berth, abundant storage, and private access to the head.
Powered by Volvo Penta IPS—standard D6-440s or optional D6-480s—the 43 SE delivers easy joystick maneuvering and confident performance, capable of 30+ knots with a comfortable cruise in the high-20s.
