Day Yacht · 42 ft · Up to 13 guests
A 42 ft Schaefer with a hardtop cockpit, a salon with a TV and a guest cabin, for a group of up to 13 on a day on Biscayne Bay.
The Schaefer 42 is a 42 ft day yacht for up to 13 guests, with a hardtop over the cockpit, an enclosed salon and a guest cabin. Her compact layout suits a birthday afternoon, a family outing or a group of friends who want shade on deck and a cool place to step inside.
Walk her from the stern. A teak deck with steps along the side runs up to a cushioned white sunpad, and curved orange seating wraps around a table under the hardtop, with the helm and its chartplotter just ahead. Inside, the salon has a cream sofa, a wood table, a TV and a galley counter with a sink and a microwave, and a dinette with a second table sits beside it. The guest cabin has two single beds and a window.
Four hours ($1,400) are enough to idle past the Venetian Islands and drop anchor for a swim. Six hours ($1,800) stretch out to Monument Island, and eight hours ($2,450) leave an afternoon at Nixon Sandbar before the run back.

Most of the group sits in the cockpit, where curved benches wrap around a table under the hardtop. The white sunpad at the stern is the spot for sunbathing, the salon sofa and the dinette give a cool seat inside, and the guest cabin is a quiet corner to change.
Four hours work as one outing with a single swim stop. Six hours let the yacht travel farther toward Monument Island, and eight hours turn the charter into a full day with a long stop at Nixon Sandbar and lunch on the way back.
The salon has a cream sofa, a wood table, a TV and a galley counter with a sink and a microwave, with a dinette beside it. The guest cabin has two single beds and a window, and the yacht has one bathroom.
The hardtop covers the cockpit seating and the helm, and the salon is indoors. For sun, the cushioned pad at the stern is open, and the teak deck below it sits close to the water.
A covered cockpit, a salon with a galley counter and a guest cabin all sit within a few steps of each other. The group stays in one conversation, yet each person can pick sun, shade or a seat indoors.
