The Saga 409 is truly a breakthrough design! The designer, Tony Castro, has taken a no compromise approach to combining cruising comfort and safety with powerful performance and offshore seakindliness. She will set standards for yacht designers well into this century.  The 409 represents the 2nd generation of the breakthrough Saga series, and takes to another level the intent of the original Saga 43, to be a fast passagemaker!  

Below decks the 409 features an expansive, bright main saloon with fine cherry joinery and leather upholstery. With her many large windows, portlights and hatches, the living spaces are among the most open, bright and cheery of any sailing yacht!
