The Schaefer 400 is a 40‑foot express cruiser from Brazilian builder Schaefer Yachts that expertly merges luxury, performance, and livability in a versatile pleasure craft. Designed by Marcio Schaefer, it stands out with bold exterior lines, a refined hardtop, and an open main deck that flows seamlessly from the helm to the generous aft cockpit, creating a social space perfect for entertaining or family outings.

Measuring about 12.25 m (40.2 ft) in length with a 3.88 m beam, the Schaefer 400 comfortably accommodates up to 14 people by day and five overnight in its cabin layout. It’s the only yacht in its size category that offers two suites with private heads, giving it an edge for extended cruising and overnight comfort.

Performance is a key part of its appeal. With a deep‑V hull and a cruising speed around 25 knots (and top speeds near 33 knots), the 400 balances spirited handling with smooth ride quality. Fuel and water capacities support longer excursions, while joystick controls and modern electronics make docking and navigation intuitive.

Below deck, the interior feels spacious and well‑appointed, with high ceilings, a fully equipped galley, comfortable salon, and thoughtful amenities that elevate onboard living. Overall, the Schaefer 400 offers a luxurious yet practical boating experience, ideal for owners seeking an expressive cruiser that performs as impressively on the water as it does in style.
