"The Dark Side" is an absolutely stunning example of the well respected Sabre 48 Salon Express. Her Claret hull sets her apart from the rest, and she exhibits extremely good care from her knowledgeable owners. If you are considering this design, you simply must see her.
Accommodations
When entering from the spacious cockpit, you enter the light and bright salon. To starboard is a settee that accommodates 4 people and a sliding settee opposite that seats 2. Dinner for 6 is no problem!
Opposite the Stidd helm seats is an "L" shaped settee that is raised, allowing 3 people comfortable, raised seating.
The helm, with it's double Stidd seats, is comfortable for long passages and affords easily seen gauges. There is also a door outboard of the helm area which allows quick access to the side deck during docking.
Down a few steps and to port is the galley, and opposite is the owner's cabin with private head and shower
Forward through a passageway is the guest cabin with private head and shower.
The really interesting part of this overall design is the living space/workroom that is forward of the engine room. It is accessed by sliding the port settee in the salon forward, revealing a stairway to this area. There is a bed, for crew, if you like, and work space. Very unique!

Galley
The galley on The Dark Side is midships, down several steps and to port. It is very light and bright, with great counter space.
Master Stateroom
The placement of the Master stateroom makes perfect sense. Being amidships, the motion of the boat is much more subdued, lending to a more restful area.
• Master stateroom is amidships with queen island berth
• Sabre signature Shoji style doors and trim....just beautiful
• Ensuite master head has Corian sink, cherry framed mirror, ceramic tile sole and shower stall with glass divider and glass tile decor.
• Storage is located below the queen berth and in two hanging lockers and multiple drawers
• The cherry interior is particularly of note in this cabin. Just beautiful...
Guest Stateroom
Moving forward you find the guest/day head to port.
Past the entrance to the guest/day head, you enter the guest cabin. It is light and bright during the day, and cozy in the evening. A delightful cabin for your friends and family.

The Dark Side has always been cared for by the excellent marina where she is docked. There are inspections performed when she is being commissioned and decommissioned. Battery checks and oil samples are done. During one of these inspections in 2023, leaks around the shaft seals were discovered. The gear cases were torn down, prop shaft hubs removed and she was given new shafts, and completely serviced. She has been monitored since and all is well.
Also, later in 2023, due to a possible lightning strike a distance away, she had an auto pilot module, CCM module and J Box replacement. Again, she was sea trialed, thoroughly tested and used...and works perfectly.
All this to say that she receives excellent care and monitoring.
