Schaefer Yachts is preparing a major presence at the Marina Itajaí Boat Show 2026. From 2 to 5 July, the Santa Catarina shipyard will present seven vessels to the public, representing different moments of its range: Schaefer V34, Schaefer 380, Schaefer V44, Schaefer 510 GT, Schaefer 600, Schaefer 660 and Schaefer 770.
Held at Marina Itajaí, the nautical show reaches its fourth edition bringing together shipyards, engine manufacturers, equipment companies, accessories, services and experiences related to the nautical world. The event takes place in an environment integrated with the Itajaí-Açu River and is presented by the organisers as the biggest gathering of the sector in southern Brazil.
Santa Catarina technology with an international presence
With 32 years of activity, Schaefer Yachts has become one of the main representatives of the Brazilian marine industry. According to the shipyard's own figures, the company generates more than 700 direct jobs and has already delivered almost four thousand vessels in different markets. Its current range brings together models between 30 and 86 feet.
Its production is marked by the in-house development of projects, the use of a five-axis CNC machine, the in-house manufacture of components and the vacuum resin infusion process applied to the fibreglass parts of the larger vessels. The company also reports holding certification from the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), related to the technical and safety standards required in the North American market.
Schaefer V34 opens the selection
The Schaefer V34 will be the entry-level vessel of the display. At approximately 10.33 metres in length, the model combines a sporty profile, outdoor areas for socialising and a daytime capacity for ten people. The interior layout allows two people to sleep on board.
Schaefer 380 bets on integrated spaces
At 11.80 metres in length, the Schaefer 380 features two retractable balconies, a stern area integrated with the cockpit and an internal passage to the bow. The interior has headroom of up to 1.90 metres, while capacity is 14 passengers during the day and four people for overnight stays.
Schaefer V44 favours outdoor living
The Schaefer V44 adopts the walk-around concept and concentrates much of its distinctive features in the outdoor areas. The boat has a cockpit and beach club on a single level, two side balconies 2.40 metres long with electric operation, plus a submersible stern platform. At 13.61 metres, the model can host 14 people during the day and accommodate four overnight.
Schaefer 510 GT gathers three suites
In the 51-foot range, the Schaefer 510 GT draws attention for its interior architecture. The model offers three layout options and can feature three suites, including a midship master suite. The vessel is 15.82 metres long, with capacity for 16 people during the day and overnight accommodation for six passengers, plus one crew member.
Schaefer 600 broadens contact with the sea
At 18.08 metres in length, the Schaefer 600 was designed with a focus on integrating spaces. Among its main features are two retractable side counters and a stern platform that can submerge about 30 centimetres below the waterline. The platform supports loads of up to 800 kilos and can carry an inflatable dinghy or a jet ski. The model hosts up to 18 people during the day and has overnight capacity for six passengers and two crew members.
Schaefer 660 combines four cabins and a large flybridge
The Schaefer 660 is 20.08 metres long and has four cabins, plus an independent entrance to the master suite. On the flybridge, the model offers a second command station, a barbecue, a sun deck and a socialising area. The maximum capacity reported by the shipyard is 20 people during the day and eight passengers overnight, plus two crew members.
Schaefer 770 will be the largest vessel on display
At the top of the selection will be the Schaefer 770, at approximately 23.5 metres in length. The model has four suites, generous social areas and a flybridge equipped to bring together different environments for leisure and navigation. The side balconies, the submersible platform and the integration between saloon, galley and stern area turn the boat into a true residence on the water.
The national industry in the spotlight
The presence of Schaefer Yachts at the event also highlights the productive capacity of Santa Catarina, a state that concentrates shipyards, suppliers, marinas, service companies and professionals specialised in different segments of the Ocean Economy. By bringing seven models together in a single space, the shipyard will allow visitors, clients and professionals to follow the differences between proposals, dimensions and ways of use.
