Schaefer 510 GT: The Standard That Redefined 50-Foot Flybridge Yachts

There’s a common question in the 50-foot yacht category: which vessel delivers the ideal balance of performance, comfort, and smart use of space? This is exactly where the Schaefer 510 GT stands out from the competition, raising the bar for excellence at Schaefer Yachts.

The Schaefer 0510 GT (measuring 51.9 feet, or 15.82 meters) isn’t just a cosmetic update—it’s a reimagined project for the discerning boater who truly understands yachting.

The Starting Point: Volume and Innovation Where It Matters

The maximum beam of 4.36 meters is the key number that explains the spaciousness on board. With this added width and an intelligently designed layout, the boat accommodates up to 16 people for day cruises and 6 people overnight, offering a level of excellence for its size.

The hallmark of this design is the inclusion of three spacious suites, something extremely rare in this size range:

• Master Suite: Located midship, it spans the full beam of the boat. It features an impressive ceiling height, a 2.00 x 1.60 m bed, a side sofa, and wardrobe space with unique finishes.

  

• VIP Suite: Positioned at the bow, it uses a clever design trick—a large mirror at the headboard—to enhance the sense of space, complemented by a private bathroom with a circular shower for even better space optimization.

  

• Guest Suite: To starboard, it offers two single beds that can be converted into a double.

  

Social Spaces, Salon, and Outdoor Area

The salon is surrounded by arched windows up to 80 cm high, flooding the interior with natural light and offering panoramic sea views.

• Integrated Galley: Outfitted with built-in appliances, folding countertops, and cleverly designed drawers, keeping the cook connected with guests in the salon.

  

• Aft Cockpit: The cockpit features a large L-shaped sofa and a side opening that improves flow, seamlessly integrating the cockpit with the outdoor lounge and gourmet area.

  

• Spacious Flybridge: Surprisingly large for this class, the upper deck offers an L-shaped sofa over 3 meters long, a sunpad, folding table, support area with gourmet space and icemaker, plus the option for a hard top for extra sun protection.

  

Engines and Performance

Equipped with the Volvo Penta IPS 650 system, which ensures excellent maneuverability, fuel efficiency, safety, and eliminates vibration and exhaust odor, as the IPS system disperses emissions into the water.

• At Sea: The hull shows excellent rigidity and slices through waves with precision, thanks to a 17° V-shaped hull.
