The 510 GT is the flybridge answer in Schaefer’s 51 foot range, and it is built around volume rather than headline speed. At 15.82 metres with a 4.36 metre beam, the hull carries its width well forward, which is what allows the yard to offer three suites on a boat this size. Few competitors in the class manage it.
The main deck reads as one connected space. Retractable side balconies open the cockpit outward, the aft platform folds down to sea level, and the sole stays flush from transom to saloon. Double height glazing above the dinette pulls light deep into the interior and keeps the sightline to the water open from almost every seat.
Accommodation runs to six berths plus a crew berth. The midships master takes the full beam, and three interior layout options let a buyer trade the third suite for a larger lower saloon and a second galley. Deck plans for all three configurations sit in the layout gallery.
Volvo Penta pod drives handle propulsion, with joystick docking and multi touch navigation at the helm, and Schaefer’s own engineering team carries out the integration. Fuel capacity of 1,300 litres supports a published range of 164 nautical miles.
For a buyer weighing a 50 foot flybridge, the 510 GT offers interior volume normally found a class above, backed by a yard with three decades of series production behind it.
