Introducing The Sabre 51 Salon Express

The Sabre 51 Salon Express: Cruising, Redefined.

If you’re passionate about coastal cruising — but also crave comfort, style, and effortless performance — the Sabre 51 Salon Express might just be the yacht of your dreams. This impressive new 51-foot motor yacht from Sabre Yachts blends classic Downeast lines with cutting-edge marine technology to deliver a cruising experience that’s as thrilling as it is refined. 

A Yacht Designed for Life on the Water 

From the moment you step aboard, the Sabre 51 Salon Express feels like a special place — one that was crafted for owners who love both adventure and relaxation. On deck, the layout is thoughtfully designed for socializing and enjoying the view - and can be customized to your liking. An expansive cockpit features multiple seating areas, while the foredeck welcomes you with a forward bench and stowable sunpad that invites you to soak up the sun.

At the helm, intuitive joystick controls and Volvo IPS propulsion systems make handling this yacht a breeze — whether you’re cruising at speed or docking with precision. The advanced Sabre Connect™ digital system puts control of onboard amenities right at your fingertips.

Performance Meets Practicality 

Comfort and Community Below Deck 

Performance on the Sabre 51 is the product of nearly five decades of refinement. Every element reflects lessons Sabre has been perfecting since the late 1980s—an experience few builders can truly claim. Rather than allowing performance to limit design, or design to compromise performance, the Sabre 51 achieves a rare balance between the two. 

With an overall length of 57′ 5″, a beam of 15′ 11″, and a deep-V hull, this yacht strikes a balance between seakeeping and efficiency. Its fuel capacity of 600 gallons and robust Volvo Penta IPS800 drives mean you can cruise confidently and comfortably across long distances.

Sabre also engineered the 51 to meet stringent safety and build standards — including CE Category B, NMMA, ABYC, and USCG certifications — ensuring peace of mind whether you’re exploring calm bays or open waters. 

Comfort and Community Below Deck 

Inside, the Sabre 51 Salon Express feels bright, open, and expertly crafted. The galley-down layout ensures the salon remains spacious and welcoming, perfect for lounging with family or entertaining guests. Large windows and tasteful finishes bring warmth and style to every corner.

Below deck, the master stateroom and VIP stateroom each come standard with their own ensuite heads, while an optional third stateroom can be configured with an additional ensuite head—providing flexible, private accommodations for owners and guests alike.

The Classic Sabre Feel, Reimagined 

What truly sets the Sabre 51 Salon Express apart is its effortless blend of classic style and modern innovation. The iconic Sabre profile — known for graceful lines and Downeast character — is honored here, while contemporary features like digital systems and IPS pod drives keep this yacht firmly in the 21st century.

Whether you’re sharing a sunset cocktail with friends, exploring new cruising grounds, or simply enjoying the quiet rhythm of the ocean, the Sabre 51 is crafted to elevate every moment. It’s more than a boat — it’s a sanctuary on the water.
