A Trip to Schaefer Yachts in Florianópolis, Brazil
My first experience with Brazilian products came when flying and selling Embraer aircraft which are designed and manufactured in Brazil. They are a significant player in the commercial and business aviation industries with competitive pricing, leading edge innovation and excellent performance. The Brazilians build sophisticated aircraft and wonderful yachts for us to enjoy as they are sought after worldwide.
Meet Schaefer Yachts
Discover a World-Class Product
Now imagine building your dream Schaefer yacht and traveling to the factory in Florianopolis, Brazil to inspect your final build. From there, you can sea trial the vessel and cruise along one of the most beautiful coastlines in the region. Brazil remains one of the best kept cruising secrets in the Atlantic. As a result, it continues to surprise and impress even experienced boaters.
Along this stretch of coastline, you will find thousands of beaches, bays, natural harbours, and islands. Many of these locations remain uninhabited, which adds to the sense of discovery. The islands offer excellent opportunities for snorkeling, diving, and hiking. In addition, the region is ideal for water sports, fishing, and extended cruising.
The year round tropical climate and consistent weather conditions make this area perfect for boating. Because it remains less traveled, you can experience scenery that feels untouched and authentic. Ultimately, this creates a rare opportunity to explore vibrant, emerald green waters in a way few destinations can offer.
From snorkeling with colorful schools of fish to enjoying authentic cuisine and watching sunsets from the deck of your new Schaefer yacht, the experience engages every sense. As a result, the trip becomes more than a visit, it becomes a lasting memory tied directly to your boat.
Schaefer Yachts is the largest yacht shipyard in Brazil and has been shaping the industry for over 30 years. With more than 700 direct employees and over 3,500 boats delivered between 30 and 83 feet, the company has established a strong reputation. In particular, Schaefer continues to set benchmarks in quality, innovation, and value within the global market.
Advanced Manufacuring
The technology developed by the shipyard focuses on building high performance boats. In particular, Schaefer Yachts meets the standards of the NMMA, the regulatory body for vessel safety in the Canadian and U.S. markets. As a result, its production process aligns with some of the most respected shipyards in the world.
Schaefer incorporates advanced manufacturing techniques that set it apart. For example, the use of vacuum infusion across all parts is a rare process in the boating industry. In addition, the shipyard utilizes an exclusive 5 axis CNC system, along with fully integrated carpentry and upholstery completed in house. This approach ensures greater consistency, precision, and overall build quality.
The design is led by founder and naval architect Marcio Schaefer. As a result, each vessel reflects a balance of performance, comfort, and refined aesthetics. Schaefer Yachts continues to set an international standard in quality, technology, and sophistication.
During your factory visit, you will have the opportunity to experience these innovations firsthand. At the same time, you can sea trial your yacht and explore the surrounding coastline. Ultimately, this combination creates a unique and memorable ownership experience that extends far beyond the purchase itself.
