BRABUS Unveils ULTIMA 55, The Brand's First Luxury Catamaran

BRABUS Unveils ULTIMA 55, The Brand's First Luxury Catamaran

BRABUS has built its name turning Mercedes-Benz models into high-horsepower machines for decades, but the brand's ambitions have long since expanded beyond cars. Today, the German company’s portfolio spans everything from classic car restorations, coach-built cars like the recently unveiled 1,000-horsepower Bodo grand tourer, motorcycles, motorhomes, fashion, and luxury real estate to performance boats. Now it is adding another chapter to its marine portfolio with the BRABUS ULTIMA 55, the company's first luxury catamaran, developed in collaboration with Sunreef Yachts, one of the world's leading builders of luxury multihull yachts. Seen here against the backdrop of Dubai Marina and Bluewaters Island, the ULTIMA 55 combines the spacious layout of a multihull with performance that's uncommon in this segment. Unlike a traditional monohull yacht, a catamaran uses two hulls, creating a wider beam, greater stability, and significantly more interior space. Power comes from twin 10.8-liter six-cylinder engines producing 725 horsepower each, enough to push the yacht beyond 40 knots (~46 mph). An integrated hydrofoil system lifts the hulls higher above the water to reduce drag, improve efficiency, and minimize heel, giving passengers a smoother ride at speed. The exterior carries the unmistakable BRABUS DNA. Graphite Black bodywork is complemented by exposed carbon fiber on the roof, ventilation trims, and signature design elements, while illuminated BRABUS logos and LED roof lights complete the look. <- Gallery -> The automotive influence continues below deck. You can choose between a two-cabin layout accommodating four guests or a three-cabin configuration for up to six guests. The helm features a BRABUS-specific widescreen digital interface that consolidates navigation and onboard controls into a single display.  Moonstone leather, Alcantara, exposed carbon fiber, aluminum accents, and ambient lighting closely resemble the cabins of the company's supercars. A fully equipped galley, retractable 43-inch television, and Bowers & Wilkins Marine Series sound system reinforce the yacht's luxury credentials. Practicality also played a significant role in the ULTIMA 55's design. Folding side platforms expand the beam from 18.4 feet to 24.9 feet at anchor, creating additional entertaining space. Transformer sunpads convert into seating, while the aft deck incorporates a carbon fiber dining table, electric barbecue, and wet bar. The ULTIMA 55 marks the latest evolution of BRABUS' marine ambitions. We've previously covered everything from the Shadow 900, Shadow 38, and Shadow 1200 Sun-Top Phantom Gray to the company's showcase at FLIBS 2025 and its recent partnership with AB Yachts on its first branded superyachts. More recently, BRABUS expanded its presence in the Middle East with BRABUS Island, a 92-villa waterfront development in Abu Dhabi. Whether viewed as a high-performance cruiser or a floating extension of the BRABUS brand, the ULTIMA 55 represents the company's most ambitious marine project yet, bringing its unmistakable automotive design language into the growing luxury catamaran segment.

BRABUS and AB Yachts Partner to Create the World's First BRABUS Yachts

For years, BRABUS has been at the forefront of the automotive world, evolving beyond its roots in modifying and tuning Mercedes-Benz models to include builds from Porsche, Rolls-Royce, and Bentley. In 2017, the momentum shifted to offer a luxurious, performance-driven nautical experience with the launch of BRABUS Marine, defined by an elite fleet of superboats with BRABUS’ signature touch. Now, that marine vision is expanding even further as part of a recent partnership announcement with the Italian yacht builders at AB Yachts, a brand of Next Yacht Group, bringing the world’s first BRABUS Yachts to open waters. The collaboration aims to combine BRABUS' unmistakable design DNA with AB Yachts' expertise in fast, performance-focused vessels, creating a new option for buyers looking for the same level of build quality and exclusivity they expect from a supercar or luxury SUV. The partnership takes things in a different direction than its already-established collaborations with Axopar and Sunreef Yachts. Teaming up with AB Yachts opens the door to a completely new category of larger, ultra-luxury yachts. Known for building sleek Italian yachts capable of impressive speeds without sacrificing comfort, AB Yachts brings decades of experience that pairs naturally with BRABUS' approach to customization and bold styling. The first BRABUS yacht will officially premiere during the Monaco Yacht Show from September 23rd to 26th, 2026, with another new model already planned for the 2027 event. For those who already own and or appreciate BRABUS supercars, luxury SUVs, or even marine models, this new venture offers an opportunity to bring that same performance-driven lifestyle to the water. As the worlds of luxury cars and yachting continue to overlap, BRABUS is making it clear that its vision extends well beyond four wheels. Source: BRABUS Marine
