The Schaefer V44 is a standout 44-foot yacht in Schaefer Yachts’ V-line that combines contemporary design, spacious living areas, and versatile performance for both day cruising and overnight voyages. It builds on the success of the smaller V33 with a larger footprint and more accommodation while preserving the brand’s signature blend of style and functionality.
Measuring about 13.61 m (44 ft 8 in) with a beam of 4.17 m, the V44 has a striking single-level cockpit that opens to the sea, perfect for entertaining. Standard on the model are two large hydraulically-operated balconies (each roughly 8 ft long) and an optional hydraulic swim platform, creating expansive deck space and a dramatic beach-club style outdoor area.
Below deck, the yacht comfortably accommodates up to four people overnight with a convertible bow lounge and twin mid-ship berths that can become a king-size berth, plus a full galley, enclosed head with shower, and generous storage throughout.
For propulsion, owners have flexibility: configurations include triple Mercury V10 400 hp outboards, higher-powered triple V12s, or dual Volvo Penta diesel or IPS drives, offering a range of performance profiles from spirited cruising to efficient touring.
Overall, the Schaefer V44 blends innovative layout, premium comfort, and adaptable power options, making it appealing for families, social boaters, or couples seeking luxurious yet practical sea experiences.
