The Schaefer 400 sits inside Brazilian builder Schaefer Yachts' express line, a 42.42-foot platform on triple Mercury V10 400 hp outboards for 1,200 hp total, Mercury Joystick Piloting with integrated bow thruster, and factory warranty through 2028 that is extendable to 2033. Schaefer carries a 7.5 kW Cummins diesel generator, dual air conditioning units, hot water system, battery charger, and shore power. Dual Simrad NSS12 evo3 displays, Mercury VesselView, JL Audio, and underwater lights complete the helm and entertainment fit.
Layout is two staterooms over two heads, with an island-berth master carrying an ensuite and a VIP running twin berths convertible to a double. Galley below sits with microwave, cooktop, and refrigerator. Cockpit outdoor galley runs a grill and refrigerator alongside a wet bar, an aft sunshade, and a full cockpit enclosure that reads to us as Miami-first buyer preferences applied to a Brazilian export platform. Beam 12.5 feet, draft 3.58 feet, 20,944 pound dry weight, and a 17.4-degree transom deadrise Deep Vee fiberglass hull.
At $459,000 with 241 hours, Schaefer is a warranty-forward triple-outboard express with the factory joystick and integrated bow thruster package that keeps single-owner dockings low-stress. The recent $30,000 step-down from $489,000 reads to us as motivated seller signal that shifts the value proposition into the range where the platform compares favorably against comparable outboard express units at this length. Cruise sits at 25 knots with 33 knots max per the spec sheet. If a triple-outboard Deep Vee express fits your program, she earns the walkthrough.
