A 435 horsepower option keeps pace firmly in hand.
The V44 comes with a Volvo Penta D6 370 as standard, with a D6 435 available for owners who want more in reserve. Cruising speed sits at 25 knots and top speed at 31, numbers that favour a smooth, planing ride over outright pace. A 0.7 metre draught keeps her accessible around the same shallow anchorages the smaller V33 can reach, while 1,650 litres of fuel and a 250 nautical mile range mean she is built for a full day’s running with margin left for the return leg.
She wears her extra length as presence rather than bulk.
Marcio Schaefer’s exterior work keeps the low, planing profile of the V33 but stretches the deck plan to suit fourteen day guests rather than ten. The styling draws on the same Miami inflected language that first put the Schaefer V series on international buyers’ radar, built around open sightlines between bow, cockpit and helm. Construction follows the same method across the range: major parts are vacuum infused on the yard’s own five axis CNC tooling, among the largest of its kind in South America, which keeps the hull strong without adding unnecessary weight.
Two cabins and a crew berth turn the V44 into a yacht for more than an afternoon.
She sleeps four guests across two cabins, with a crew member aboard to handle the running of the yacht rather than leaving it to the owner. All woodwork is finished in house by Schaefer’s own joinery team, carrying the same material language from the exterior through to the cabins below. It is a deliberately simple layout rather than a maze of separate zones, built so that guests and crew can move through the yacht easily, whether at anchor for the afternoon or settled in for a longer stay.
Range on the V44 is built for distance, not just a day out.
At 1,650 litres, her fuel capacity is almost three times that of the V33, translating into a quoted 250 nautical mile range at cruising speed. That endurance, paired with a shallow 0.7 metre draught, opens a wider run of coastline and anchorages than her length would suggest, from sheltered bays to longer coastal hops between marinas. For an owner planning multi day trips rather than single afternoons, that combination of fuel capacity and shallow draught is the detail that matters most.
At an estimated 450,000 euros new, the V44 sits as the mid point of the Schaefer range.
She is built in Brazil under the yard’s in-house engineering team, with naval architecture, exterior and interior design all credited to Marcio Schaefer, giving the yacht a single consistent hand across every surface. A displacement of 8,700 kilograms keeps her within reach of the same V6 diesel power used across the smaller V33, while the added length brings two cabins, crew accommodation and considerably more deck space. For a buyer who has outgrown a day boat but wants to stay within the same open, planing character, the V44 is a deliberate step up rather than a different kind of yacht altogether.
