1998 Sabreline 36 Fast Trawler

Step aboard and you’ll notice how Sabreline squeezed big-boat livability into 36 feet without feeling cramped. Wide side decks, tall rails, and stout handholds make line handling and docking feel secure, even with kids or guests aboard. The salon’s large windows flood the interior with daylight, and opening ports plus overhead hatches keep fresh air moving on warm afternoons. Below, the joinery is classic Sabre—warm, satin-finished wood, solid latches, and thoughtful storage everywhere you look. The semi-displacement hull gives you an easy, level ride at a range of speeds, while the lower helm offers a snug, protected place to run the boat when the weather turns or the sun gets too intense.

This Sabreline 36 Fast Trawler is particularly well suited to the mix of open water and protected cruising grounds in this region. The hull is happy loafing along efficiently at displacement speeds for long river or lake runs, yet those powerful diesels let you outrun a squall or cover serious distance in a single day. The flybridge height gives excellent visibility for navigating busy harbors and tight marinas, while the moderate draft opens up access to shallower anchorages and quieter coves. Generous tankage, reliable Caterpillar power, and comfortable accommodations make it an appealing choice for extended seasonal cruising and spontaneous weekend getaways alike.
