This is a well owned, turn key Sabre 42. With many thoughtful upgrades like a beautiful Blue Steel Awlcraft paint job thatwill turn heads, recent electronics updates, comprehensive engine work, and more - this is a boat to trust!
The Sabre 42 has often been considered the ideal express cruising boat. With striking Downeast lines the boat will turnheads in any marina or mooring field. The true magic on the Sabre 42 is how well the bridgedeck blends with the cockpitand interior - giving you a boat that doesn't feel like you are "inside" while on the water because of its 360 degrees ofvisibility. Connectivity to entertaining features and an open back that allows for an "on the water" feel when you want it,but will easily enclose and be conditioned when the weather dictates mean your boat will work for any occasion.
Through the companionway you will find a large galley and salon with a generous settee and dining table. The primarysuite is forward with en-suite access to the head with separate shower. Your guests will have a comfortable private suiteand plenty of storage room.
Getting to your destination is fast, quiet and efficient with the Cummins QSB engines powering Zeus drives allowing forjoystick docking in a tight spot. These engines and drives have been very well maintained and are ready to go for theirnext adventure.
If you’re choosing a Sabre 42, you’re already prioritizing craftsmanship, performance, and a refined cruising experience. Zeus Pods elevate all three—turning an exceptional boat into an effortless one.
Zeus Pods with joystick control transform close-quarters handling. Side-slip, pivot, or walk the boat into a tight slip with fingertip precision—no stress, no theatrics. For owners who cruise short-handed or dock often, this is a game-changer. The Skyhook dynamic positioning system keeps the boat stationary while you arrange fenders/mooring lines or are waiting for a fuel dock.
Pod drives deliver quick acceleration, exceptional fuel economy, a flatter running attitude, and crisp response. The Sabre 42 already feels nimble for her size; Zeus enhances that agility while maintaining the smooth, composed ride Sabre is known for. With a half load of fuel and water, More Mojo cruises at 30mph while burning less than 30gph.
With engines mounted farther aft and optimized thrust angles, Zeus Pods reduce vibration and noise. That means quieter conversations at cruise, a calmer helm, and a more relaxing experience underway—exactly what a premium express cruiser should deliver.
Zeus Pods free up room in the engine compartment, improving access for service and allowing Sabre’s designers to maximize storage and livability. It’s not just about performance—it’s about smarter use of every inch onboard.
A Sabre 42 is about confidence, elegance, and ease. Zeus Pods align perfectly with that philosophy—making the boat simpler to run, more enjoyable to cruise, and more valuable to own.
If you want a 42-footer that feels intuitive instead of intimidating, Zeus Pods aren’t just an option—they’re the right choice.
