    DESCRIPTION:

    Songbird is a shining example of Sabre Yachts’ legendary craftsmanship and attention to detail. Built in Maine, Sabres are known for their high-quality construction, elegant lines, and exceptional performance. The 36 Express model is a sought-after Downeast cruiser that blends traditional styling with modern amenities and seaworthy performance.   With her solid fiberglass hull, elegant lines, she’s the perfect choice for anyone looking to cruise the Chesapeake or beyond in style and confidence.

    The interior is warm and inviting, with American Cherry woodwork throughout. The U-shaped settee converts to a berth, and the forward stateroom features a centerline queen berth with a custom mattress (2021). The galley is fully equipped with a propane stove/oven, microwave, and a Vitrifrigo refrigerator (2020). The head includes a VacuFlush toilet and wet shower.

    This Sabre 36 has been meticulously maintained and upgraded, especially in 2024, with a focus on mechanical reliability and cruising comfort. From her freshly serviced Caterpillar engines to her upgraded generator and electronics, Songbird is ready for serious cruising.

    This Sabre 36 Express is not just a boat—it’s a lifestyle. With her recent upgrades, classic lines, and proven performance, Songbird is a rare find for discerning cruisers. She’s turnkey, thoughtfully updated, and ready to take you wherever your next adventure leads.
