About

BLUE HERON is an excellent example of the highly regarded Sabre 34 engineered and built in Maine to the highest level of quality. This handsome design is just the right size to excel as both a dayboat and pocket cruiser, thanks to multiple seating areas, a fully equipped galley up, a spacious couple’s suite, and a separate shower stall. She is also well equipped with upgraded direct drive twin Volvo D6 370hp diesels for 24 knot cruise and 30 knot max speed, plus bow thruster, generator, dual zone air conditioning and many desirable factory options noted herein. 

Recent upgrades include all new electronics, Awlgrip Flag Blue topsides paint, 1000-hour engine cooling service, and “as new” upholstery in helm deck and cockpit. Further upgrades in 2023 include new helm deck canvas, Victron inverter/charger and new upgraded house batteries.
