First introduced in 2000, the Sabre 42 has become the standard for performance cruising motoryachts. She is offered with and without bridge and a hard top extension which covers the cockpit is a popular option. The extension, when equipped with a dinghy lift is an ideal place to store a hard bottom inflatable dinghy.

Her deep-vee hull offers cruising speeds from 20 to 27 knots depending on engine choice. With the largest engine option she can sip fuel at an economical 1.1 gallons per mile at 25 knots.
