Helm & Electronics

At the helm, this Schaefer 400 Sport offers a clean and modern command station with Simrad multifunction displays, joystick control, and a straightforward dashboard layout.

The joystick system makes docking and close-quarters maneuvering easier, especially with the triple outboard setup. Her triple Mercury Verado 400s provide confident performance and strong acceleration, while the outboard configuration also offers easier engine access and serviceability compared to many traditional inboard express cruisers.

The boat is also equipped with a Seakeeper stabilizer, adding comfort while at anchor or underway.

Performance

Powered by triple Mercury Verado 400 outboards, this Schaefer 400 Sport offers the kind of performance and handling expected from a modern 40’ express cruiser. The low engine hours , approximately 135 hours , make her especially attractive for buyers looking for a lightly used, well-equipped boat in this size range.

The hull carries a 17.4° deadrise, supporting a comfortable ride profile for coastal cruising and open-water use. Official performance references for the Schaefer 400 list a 25-knot cruise and approximately 33-knot max speed in certain configurations, though actual performance will vary depending on engines, load, fuel, sea state, bottom condition, and equipment.
