Description

Due to some sudden health issues, the owners have decided to list Solace at an extremely low asking price in hopes of finding a buyer sooner than later. You will not find another at this price. She has been loved by this family for over 20 years and kept on a lift at the owners home. They just had her interior refreshed, cleaned, and varnished her interior woodwork. This is a great opportunity for someone to get into a Sabre at a remarkable price point.

Full Details

Design specs

  • The 2002 Sabre 36 Flybridge Sedan is a masterful blend of traditional New England craftsmanship and modern cruising performance. Built in Maine by Sabre Yachts, this luxury Downeast-style cruiser is highly regarded for its timeless lines, rugged construction, and elegant finish. Engineered on a high-performance deep-V hull with a substantial 18-degree transom deadrise, the boat delivers an exceptionally smooth, dry, and stable ride even when navigating rough coastal waters. Powered by reliable twin Yanmar diesel engines (typically 315 hp or 370 hp), it effortlessly reaches a comfortable cruising speed in the mid-20s and tops out near 30 knots, offering true sport-yacht capability disguised in a classic aesthetic.

  • Elevated Visibility: The open-air flybridge serves as an ideal secondary command station, complete with dual adjustable helm seats, expansive electronics space, and an aft bench for guests to enjoy unobstructed 360-degree views.

  • Social Cockpit: The aft cockpit features a standard wet bar, a wide transom door for easy swim platform access, and deep under-sole lazarette storage on gas struts.

  • Safe Walkways: Wide side decks paired with sturdy, high stainless-steel rails ensure secure footing when moving forward to handle the anchor or lines.

Accommodations

  • The Sabre 36 Flybridge Sedan offers a comfortable cockpit, wide side decks with high rails all around, steps with a gentle grade for ease climbing to the flybridge, wet bar in cockcpit and door that leads you into her main salon. Her salon is surrounded by large windows which gives one the impression of a much larger vessel. Beautifully finished Cherry wood cabinetry and aft to port is a comfortable L-shaped dinette with a hi-lo table, adjustable to coffee table or dining table height. Opposite to starboard is the entertainment center with attached heom seat. To port and forward of the dinette is a cabinet for glassware and bottle storage/liquor cabinet. The cabinet top can also serve as a navigation station or serving table for hors d 'oeuvres. Recessed overhead lighting and accent lighting is proveded in the valance boxes. All the way forward to starboard is the inside helm station. Sight lines from the lower helm are excellent, providing a comfortable steering station when the weather is too nasty to be on the flybridge. Full controls and space are provided for all the yachts systems and navigational electronics.

  • Down a few steps in the U-shaped galley to port. This is a lovely working galley with all that is needed for extended cruising. Sabre's design of the galley allowed an open concept galley to the main salon so the chef does not feel alienated from the rest of the group and yet keeps it separate from the salon allowing for a better space for entertaining or just relaxing.

  • Opposite the galley to starboard is the large head compartment, There is a private door from the master cabin and a Day head door from the galley area. There is also a large separate shower stall with a revolving plexiglass door, shower seat and wet locker. Custom teak shower grate, and electric shower sump pump. The head area is lined with fiberglass and has Corian counter tops for ease in cleaning.

  • The Master Stateroom is located in the bow with an island queen berth. Storage both port and starboard as well as drawers under the berth. Cedar lined hanging locker is aft to port. There is a step up on either side of the berth for ease getting in and out of the queen berth. Large hatch overhead as well as opening ports give lots of light and natural ventilation.

  • Her interior is warm and inviting. She has teak and holly cabin sole that is protected by carpet in the salon. Curtains and blinds give privacy withn needed. Flag Blue cushions in the salon as well as custom bedspread and shams, sheets, and mattress pad by Yacht Interiors of Annapolis.
