48' Saga 2004

Designed by Bob Perry, this is an exemplary vessel that never fails to turn heads.

Well thought out, and based on years of experience, this lightly used boat has been designed for fast passage-making by a cruising couple. The highest quality materials have been used in the construction of this vessel, and it has proven to be a sturdy and durable boat.
