Schaefer Yachts made its Canadian debut through Yacht Solutions, and the V34 sits near the middle of the Brazilian builder’s range. It’s a 33-foot day cruiser designed by Marcio Schaefer, with a large hardtop roof and a connected windshield that shelters the cockpit without closing it in. The aft section converts into a wide sun pad for anchor days.
Below, a compact cabin sleeps two and carries a full standing-height head with separate shower. Deadrise at the transom runs 18.9 degrees, deep enough to hold composure in a chop but flat enough to keep the ride efficient. Fuel capacity is 184 US gallons, and daytime passenger capacity is ten. The fit and finish lives up to Schaefer’s premium reputation, and the V34 pulls buyers who might otherwise cross-shop European day cruisers at a higher price point.
