Sabre Yachts

Founded in 1970 by Roger Hewson, Sabre Yachts has been crafting luxury Maine-built yachts for over five decades, earning recognition as one of the finest yacht builders in America. Beginning with the successful Sabre 28 sailboat, the company evolved into a premier manufacturer of downeast-style motor yachts when they introduced their revolutionary “Fast Trawler” concept in 1989.

Handcrafted in Raymond and Rockland, Maine, by over 350 skilled craftspeople—many with decades of experience—each Sabre yacht embodies the centuries-old boatbuilding tradition of Maine. The company’s motto, “Crafted in the Maine Tradition,” reflects their commitment to exceptional artistry, dedication, and craftsmanship that honors Maine’s maritime heritage.

Today’s Sabre lineup features award-winning Salon Express and Fly Bridge models ranging from 38 to 58 feet, all powered by revolutionary Volvo IPS dual pod drives for superior performance and handling. Known for their iconic American cherry woodworking, classic downeast profiles, and meticulous attention to detail, Sabre yachts combine timeless elegance with cutting-edge technology. As the parent company of Back Cove Yachts and the largest recreational boatbuilding company in Maine, Sabre continues setting the standard for luxury yacht construction.
