2001 Sabre 36 Express

It is hard to find a more updated and upgraded Sabre 36 Express MKII than Cricket, she's in excellent condition and has been obviously well-cared-for with no expense spared by her experienced owner. The recent work list is comprehensive; highlights include a new Garmin electronics suite, bow thruster, generator, aft cockpit teak deck, all new exterior canvas and soft goods and Yanmar 1000 hr+ service. Prior to the current ownership, Cricket was full-time captain maintained and even received a full exterior paint job including hull topsides, cabin and decks. The gelcoat crazing that is prevalent on most production boats from the late 90s-early 2000's is very minimal on this vessel.

The enclosed, climate-controlled pilothouse with custom hardtop and teak entry door on Cricket allows for cruising far North or South in complete comfort. Ideal for couples cruising with the center-island berth, full head, and large settee down below.

Cricket is in the water, on the dock and ready for the Fall cruising season. Contact the listing broker for more information and to schedule a showing. Indoor heated storage in Portsmouth, RI could convey with the sale of the vessel if needed/desirable.
