Purchased in the spring of 2019 after an exhaustive search of the 48 Sabres on the market, the ex: “Family Ties” was selected as the cleanest and best equipped of the 48 Sabre Express salon models available.

Believed to be the only Wasabi Green 48 Sabre, “AMITY” received compliments from the Florida Keys to Montreal on her two year East Coast odyssey.

Owned by a very experienced yachtsman, “AMITY” is offered fully serviced and ready to go!

Boarding via the port or starboard cockpit steps, the cockpit has L-shaped seating aft with a folding cockpit table, seating facing aft to starboard and the entry door to port. An electric hatch in the sole gives access to the engine room.
