Tour of the Schaefer Yachts V33 SF at the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show.

We recently got a chance to tour the new Schaefer Yachts V33 SportFish during the Palm Beach International Boat Show. With an overall length off 33 feet, 11 inches, and an 11 foot beam, the first thing that caught our eye was the versatility of the space. The cockpit features two fold-away benches creating a spacious deck to fight fish in and move around safely. On the transom, there is a tow bar for family time, cup and rod holders and two live bait wells. The cockpit floor itself has two fish boxes, one of which is insulated and the other larger one usable for storage, whether it's just fenders and mooring lines, or the removable table that mounts into the cockpit floor. The aft-facing console cover, supported by two air shocks, lifts up easily to reveal an electric grill, ice box and a small sink. With fishability being the focus on the SF version, the cockpit also features 4 electric reel outlets and both a raw and fresh water washdown hose tucked away in a compartment in the starboard gunwale. Two telescopic poles also tuck away neatly, which can be used for putting up a full beam canvas cover for shade above the cockpit as well. The helm itself features bench seats that can articulate to comfortably run the boat standing, a joystick and bow thruster control, two simrad screens for navigation and a two level foot rest. Like all V33 models with Schaefer, the SF has a spacious air-conditioned cabin for a boat of its size, a dinette that converts to a V-berth option for 2 people, and a wet head to the starboard size. On the bow, the two-person sunpad also allows access to the forward cabin, with an additional raw and fresh water washdown hose neatly tucked away in the bow along with Schaefers' popular catapult-style anchoring system.
