Sabre Yachts
Sabre Yachts
Sabre Yachts was founded by Roger Hewson in 1970. The company began with Hewson’s 28-foot sailing yacht, built with production line methods and fiberglass technology. A sister company of Back Cove Yachts, Sabre Yachts builds sail and motor yachts at its two facilities in Raymond, Maine. Sabre currently manufactures three models of sailing yachts ranging from 36 to 45 feet
In 1989, Sabre expanded its market with a tri-cabin motor yacht, the first Sabre 36 “Fast Trawler”. Sabre’s motor yacht model line is available in Salon Express and Fly Bridge styles, ranging from 38 to 54 feet. Currently, more than half of Sabre’s production is dedicated to powerboats.
