The Sabre 42 Salon Express is one of the most successful models in Sabre’s Downeast lineup, combining classic Maine styling and beautifully finished American cherry joinery with the performance, maneuverability, and efficiency of Zeus pod propulsion.
OFF-PISTE is an appealing example that has benefited from substantial upgrades and continued investment under her current ownership since 2022. Highlights include new Garmin electronics with twin 16″ multifunction displays, Starlink HP in-motion satellite internet, solar panels, Siren Marine remote monitoring, updated batteries, refreshed interior soft goods, and extensive mechanical service.
Mechanically, her owners have continued to address the important systems aboard. Recent work includes a major engine and raw-water cooling service in 2025, propeller balancing and tuning, replacement raw-water pumps and additional cooling and charging-system work through 2026.
With her two-stateroom layout, spacious salon, mid-level galley, large cockpit and excellent all-around visibility, OFF-PISTE is equally comfortable cruising New England for a weekend or spending extended time aboard.
Currently dockside and available for inspection by appointment.

Navigation & ElectronicsA major improvement over OFF-PISTE 's original electronics package is the 2024 Garmin helm upgrade
The bright, beautifully finished salon is a defining feature of the Sabre 42 SE. Large windows provide excellent visibility while Sabre's American cherry joinery gives the interior a warm, traditional New England feel.
The salon features an L-shaped settee to port with storage beneath, a high-gloss folding hi/lo table, starboard settee and concealed television lift. Twin Stidd helm chairs provide comfortable seating for captain and companion.
OFF-PISTE's interior has been significantly refreshed with:
OFF-PISTE offers the desirable two-stateroom arrangement.
The forward owner's stateroom features an island berth surrounded by cherry cabinetry, abundant drawer and locker storage, cedar-lined hanging locker, teak-and-holly sole and Shoji-style privacy door.
The second stateroom provides a double berth along with drawers, cabinetry, nightstand and additional storage, making the Sabre 42 an excellent choice for cruising couples who regularly entertain family or guests.
The head includes a separate circular shower stall with seat, solid-surface vanity, stainless-steel undermount sink and substantial storage.
GalleyThe mid-level galley remains connected to the salon while providing excellent working space and storage.
The cockpit provides comfortable seating and easy access to the water while maintaining the traditional proportions and practical deck layout for which Sabre is known.
Notable equipment and recent additions include:
OFF-PISTE represents an excellent opportunity to purchase a well-equipped Sabre 42 Salon Express whose current owners have continued to improve the boat rather than simply maintain the status quo.
Since 2022, significant attention has been directed toward the systems that matter most to today's cruising owner: propulsion and cooling-system maintenance, updated Garmin navigation electronics, Starlink connectivity, solar charging, remote vessel monitoring, batteries, and refreshed interior and exterior soft goods.
The result is a Sabre 42 that retains everything that made this model so successful — classic Downeast styling, excellent visibility, quality Maine craftsmanship, two private staterooms, and joystick-controlled pod performance — while incorporating a number of significant upgrades that a new owner would otherwise need to undertake after purchase.
