SCHAEFER
SCHAEFER 380
Meet the Schaefer 380, where open-air exhilaration meets refined luxury in a yacht designed to blur the lines between performance and relaxation. From her aggressive hull design to her sculpted hardtop and unfolding balconies, the 380 delivers the feeling of a much larger yacht, without giving up the nimble handling that outboard power provides.
Step aboard and the first thing you’ll notice is space. The cockpit transforms from a sun-drenched social hub to a shaded lounge with the touch of a button. Twin terraces fold down from each side, creating a waterfront terrace that invites the sea right to your feet. Aft, a wide sun pad doubles as the perfect spot for afternoon cocktails or an impromptu swim stop, with a convenient passageway leading directly to the swim platform.
Move forward and you’ll find a helm built for those who love to drive, ergonomic seating, digital Mercury controls, joystick precision, and a panoramic view through the sleek, wraparound windshield. The retractable sunroof opens to the sky, connecting you to the wind and water in a way few boats in this class can.
Below deck, the Schaefer 380 surprises again. A beautifully appointed cabin welcomes you with handcrafted finishes, a full galley, and generous natural light. Forward, a convertible dinette becomes a luxurious berth for two, while aft, a private stateroom provides additional overnight accommodations. The full head includes a separate shower — a thoughtful touch rare in a performance-driven express of this size.
Powered by triple Mercury Verado 400 V10 outboards, the Schaefer 380 launches effortlessly onto plane, cruising comfortably in the mid-20-knot range and topping out well above 40 knots. She’s as ready for a weekend escape to Nantucket as she is for an impromptu sunset run along the coast.
More than just a dayboat, the Schaefer 380 is a statement, a bold expression of freedom, design, and innovation that redefines what’s possible in a 38-foot yacht.
