2021 Sabre Yachts 45 Salon Express For Sale

Single-owner, low-hour, and exceptionally well equipped, TWILIGHT is a 2021 Sabre 45 Salon Express set up for extended cruising in the Pacific Northwest.

Powered by twin Volvo IPS 600 engines with just 431 hours, she cruises comfortably at 27 knots. Her cruising equipment includes a Spectra watermaker, diesel heat, separate washer and dryer, deep freezer, additional house batteries, ISO Boost transformer, and FreedomLift—a package designed for longer stays aboard and cruising beyond the marina.

Her owner has continued to invest in TWILIGHT, adding Starlink in October 2025, along with a new EPIRB, life rafts, life preservers, dock lines, and a full tool set. In September 2026, the bottom, propellers, and drives were refinished.

The Sabre 45 Salon Express offers a two-stateroom, two-head layout with a dedicated utility space between the engine room and guest stateroom. On TWILIGHT, this space accommodates the separate washer and dryer and deep freezer, preserving valuable storage throughout the boat.

For a buyer considering a Sabre 45 Salon Express, TWILIGHT offers a strong combination of single-owner history, low hours, extensive cruising equipment, and recent upgrades.
