There’s nothing quite like the perfect day out on the water when you get to truly unwind, relax and forget about all cares. However, anyone who has owned and operated their own large yacht knows those days can be few and far between. Whether at the dock or away, there’s usually something to troubleshoot or logistics to be anxious about. Easing and eliminating some of those worries are where the Sabre Connect system comes into play.

Now available on all of Sabre Yacht’s models between 43 and 58-feet, Sabre Connect is a digital networking system that puts owners in complete control of their yacht, whether onboard or miles away from her. Through multiple interfaces—your yacht’s built-in Multifunction Displays (MFDs), an included iPad Mini, or the Sabre Connect app on your smartphone—you have real-time access to crucial systems such as tank levels, battery voltages, AC power, lighting systems and operation of the bilge pumps.

At Your Fingertips

The heart of Sabre Connect is its digital switching and monitoring system, which centralizes control over the yacht’s operations. With just a few taps, you can adjust settings, receive instant alerts, and ensure everything is running (or shut off) as expected. Gone are the days of worrying about unattended systems or not knowing the status of your vessel.

‘Did I leave the engine room lights on? I wonder if the bilge pump is running?’ There is no longer any need to walk back down the dock to answer these questions. Simply pull out your smartphone and open the Sabre Connect app to view real-time conditions, control onboard systems, and enjoy peace of mind, anytime, anywhere.

One of the standout features of Sabre Connect is the ability to receive real-time alerts for system alarms. You can be notified through the app for many parameters including low battery voltage, high bilge water, onboard temperature and humidity extremes, lost shore power connection and more. With this advanced monitoring, you can take action long before a minor issue becomes a full-fledged dilemma.

Controlling all lighting, both individually and as preset “scenes” tailored to different activities are standard features within the Connect app. Nighttime Navigation, Onboard Overnight, Night Boarding and Service Mode, are all predefined options allowing you to increase comfort and security with a single tap. Similar to these lighting presets, you can easily toggle between HVAC modes, simplifying control of onboard temperature and humidity settings.

Also included standard is the ability to monitor important auxiliary systems such as the engine room fan and air conditioning water pump. Owners who upgrade to Sabre add-ons such as a gyro stabilizer or oil change pump will be able to digitally control those options as well.

Security & Savvy

New to the world of Sabre ownership? Sabre Connect makes the transition smoother than ever. Designed with both new and experienced boaters in mind, this connected system is intuitive and easy to use. Whether you prefer controlling everything from the multifunction display or using the mobile app, getting started with Sabre Connect is designed to be a breeze.

The benefits do not end at simple monitoring and control—Sabre Connect offers security too. With password protection and emergency protocols in place, you can rest easy knowing your yacht is protected. Once familiar with Sabre Connect, you’ll discover advanced features like Geofencing, which triggers alerts when your yacht enters or exits a designated area. Plus, with automatic data logging, you can keep track of performance and maintenance activities, collecting valuable documentation that can be used to help inform mechanics and increase your boat’s resale value.

With the innovative Sabre Connect system, yacht owners can enjoy a new level of convenience, security, and control. Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or a new yacht owner, Sabre Connect empowers you to do what’s most important—maximize your time and enjoyment while on the water.
