Endless Possibilities: From Relaxed Coastal Adventures to Ambitious Voyages

Whether your vision of life on the water means easy weekends moored at Catalina, laid-back getaways among the Channel Islands, or leisurely escapes up to Monterey Bay, these yachts are designed to fit right in with the California cruising lifestyle. Spacious and thoughtfully laid out interiors offer the ambiance of a luxury beach house, ideal for gathering with friends and family for multi-day stays close to home. The emphasis is on comfort, flexibility, and setting your own pace—kick back, take in the sunsets, and make every moment aboard uniquely yours.

But the versatility doesn’t end at the local horizon.

Planning a bucket-list trip like the Great Loop? The customizable stateroom configurations, generous storage, and thoughtful amenities make longer journeys possible without sacrificing comfort.

So whether you’re dreaming of impromptu overnighters, scenic hops up the coast, or venturing further afield across bluewater passages, your yacht can adapt to suit your cruising ambitions. Each model is crafted to deliver both dependable performance and a welcoming retreat—no matter the journey ahead.

Tailoring Your Yacht: The Semi-Custom Process

The magic of Schaefer’s semi-custom approach is all about giving you the freedom to truly make your yacht your own. Instead of squeezing your dreams into a pre-set template, our team starts with a blank canvas and works with you to design a space that fits your lifestyle—whether you’re planning family getaways with bunk beds for the kids, or envisioning dual ensuite staterooms for hosting friends in total comfort.

This level of personalization is possible thanks to Schaefer’s unique manufacturing process. Every piece, from the cabinetry to the upholstery, is crafted in-house, ensuring both quality and flexibility. If you prefer sleek, contemporary styling or a classic yacht atmosphere, our skilled designers and craftsmen can create interiors that bring your vision to life—right down to details like custom hardwoods and locally sourced materials.

With access to advanced technology such as five-axis CNC milling and exclusive resin infusion techniques, our team can deliver innovative features and robust designs without compromise. Side balconies that open up the deck space, bespoke layouts tailored to your daily routines, and a range of propulsion options are all within reach. Simply share your vision, and our engineering experts will fine-tune the design to perfectly integrate both aesthetics and functionality.

Ultimately, this hands-on, semi-custom process means you get the exact yacht you’ve been dreaming of—no compromises, just your style, your way.

Seamless Customization for Your Unique Vision

What truly sets this yacht apart is the remarkable flexibility in the ordering and delivery process—tailored to match your every need. Forget about the limitations of a standard layout. With a semi-custom build, interior spaces are essentially your blank canvas. Want a dedicated stateroom with bunk beds for the kids? Or perhaps you prefer two luxurious suites with private baths instead of three smaller rooms? The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Engine and interior options are impressively extensive, allowing you to specify everything from layout configurations to propulsion systems. The design team works hand-in-hand with you, transforming ideas into reality with precision engineering and attention to detail.

Despite all this adaptability, the process remains surprisingly streamlined. Skilled shipbuilders use existing hull molds, ensuring structural excellence, while interiors are crafted to fit your individual requirements. Years of expertise mean you get a yacht that not only meets your vision but also performs flawlessly.

And here's the best part: this level of personalization doesn’t equate to endless wait times or inflated costs. By connecting directly with the factory, you enjoy more attractive pricing—often in line with standard production models. Additionally, select preordered yachts are available, so you may not have to wait for a brand-new build slot to open up. The result is a refreshingly simple path to a yacht that’s truly your own.

Flexible Propulsion Choices for Every Lifestyle

Customization is at the heart of every Schaefer motoryacht, extending well beyond the layout and finishes to include a wide array of propulsion and engine options. Whether your focus is on maximum efficiency, innovative technology, or raw power, the process is designed to adapt to your vision.

During the initial design phase, you'll collaborate with engineering and design experts who use advanced tools—such as 3D CAD modeling—to ensure your preferences integrate perfectly into the yacht’s structure. Hull molds are prepared to accommodate varying engine configurations, so nearly any arrangement is possible within the crafted space between bow and stern.

Propulsion Systems

You may select from:

• V-drives for classic inboard performance.

• Surface-piercing drives for those seeking higher speeds and sporty handling.

• Volvo Penta IPS drives, renowned for maneuverability, efficiency, and smart use of engine room space.

• Outboards, now a popular alternative, especially in models like the Schaefer 400—ideal if you value easy maintenance and evolving technology.

Each propulsion style pairs with your choice of power output, typically ranging from robust 600 to 800 hp Volvo Penta diesels in larger vessels, or triple outboard arrangements for agility in smaller models.

This tailor-made approach ensures that whether you crave spirited cruising, extended range, or whisper-quiet operation, your Schaefer yacht can be equipped to deliver precisely the experience you seek.

Exceptional Warranty for Lasting Peace of Mind

When it comes to your investment, peace of mind matters. That’s why, in addition to unmatched craftsmanship and attention to detail, each yacht features robust warranty coverage—including a 10-year warranty on the hull. This extended protection underscores our commitment to quality, ensuring years of confident cruising on the water as you create unforgettable memories.

Distinctively Brazilian Design and Craftsmanship

Schaefer Yachts stands apart by infusing each vessel with a distinctly Brazilian sense of style and practicality. Rather than imitating the yacht designs found in Europe or North America, Schaefer crafts boats that genuinely reflect Brazil’s own vibrant boating culture and unique coastal demands. The designs take into account local weather patterns and rugged seas, resulting in hull shapes and construction techniques that ensure both safety and a smooth ride—no matter the conditions.

But the Brazilian influence isn’t limited to performance. Schaefer’s three advanced shipyards, located well south of Rio de Janeiro, embrace a vertically integrated process—meaning virtually every element, from elegant cabinets to plush upholstery, is crafted in-house. Local materials play a starring role, adding an unmistakable warmth and personality to each interior. Schaefer even manages its own hardwood supply, tailoring wood finishes to match each owner’s taste—whether it's a bold, modern look with contemporary lines or the timeless appeal of a classic motor yacht.

The result? Yachts that are unmistakably personal, brimming with chic and exotic materials, and exuding an atmosphere that is as inviting and lively as Brazil itself. Each vessel is a showcase of local artistry and ingenuity, created for owners who value both style and individuality.

Certifications & Safety Standards

Every Schaefer Yacht is engineered with safety and peace of mind at the forefront. Each vessel meets rigorous international standards, earning CE Class “A” certification for open ocean voyages—one of the highest distinctions in yachting. This means your yacht is tested and rated for long-distance, offshore cruising in challenging sea conditions.

Additionally, Schaefer models are crafted in compliance with NMMA certification and constructed to meet ABYC guidelines, ensuring adherence to some of the most stringent safety, structural, and manufacturing benchmarks in the industry. Onboard, you’ll find quality not just in luxury and innovation, but in a steadfast commitment to reliability and security for every journey.

Proven Experience and Versatility

Over the years, Schaefer Yachts has crafted and delivered more than 3,500 vessels, a testament to their expertise and commitment to quality. Their impressive range includes sleek cruisers from 33 feet all the way up to expansive 81-foot models, ensuring there’s a perfect yacht for every style of adventure on the water.
