Inboard Test -Schaefer V44 with IPS

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 12:01:00 +0000

Since getting hands-on with the Schaefer range, this V44 with IPS has been one I’ve genuinely been looking forward to. This family owned Brazilian company with German roots is now coming to market with a boat that will fit very nicely in European - particularly the Med!

The driving experience is much more yacht like when compared to the outboards and she carries her lines very gracefully while underway. I think anyone considering one of the big European med day boat brands should also have this on their wish list.

Bang for your buck, this is a very compelling package.
