BRABUS ULTIMA 55: the new era of high-performance luxury catamarans

BRABUS ULTIMA 55, a high-performance luxury catamaran measuring 55 feet that combines cutting-edge naval architecture with the unmistakable stylistic DNA of BRABUS, exclusive and seductive born from the collaboration of two brands that represent a benchmark for design and boldness, Sunreef Yachts and Brabus.

BRABUS’s exterior design in carbon fiber defines the powerful catamaran of 55 feet (17 m) that combines two six-cylinder engines of 533 kW / 725 HP with an advanced hydrofoil system, reaching a maximum speed of over 40 knots, developed to drastically reduce hydrodynamic resistance, improve stability, and ensure a smooth ride.

With BRABUS ULTIMA 55, Sunreef Yachts and BRABUS unveil the first fruit of their collaboration in the luxury catamaran sector.

The BRABUS ULTIMA 55 is fast, bold, and truly unique. The moment it lifts off the water, you immediately feel the difference. The ride becomes smoother, quieter, and incredibly enjoyable. It’s a yacht that allows you to leave everyday life behind and fully experience every moment at sea,” said Francis Lapp, Founder and CEO of Sunreef Yachts.

Together with Sunreef Yachts, we are expanding our Marine portfolio into a completely new category, with a product that has an unmistakably BRABUS identity,” explained Constantin Buschmann, CEO and owner of BRABUS. “We asked ourselves how a modern high-performance luxury catamaran should look and what it should feel like. The BRABUS ULTIMA 55 is our answer: a design with a strong identity, real performance, uncompromising quality, and what we call the One Second Wow.

The advanced hydrofoil system generates lift below the surface, raising the two hulls above the water, reducing resistance while improving efficiency, stability, and onboard comfort. Visible structural and aesthetic carbon fiber inserts, signature liveries (Graphite Black or Phantom Grey), aerodynamic wings, integrated LED roof lights, and details with illuminated BRABUS logos are some of the elements that represent this revolutionary vessel capable of combining the livability and stability typical of a multihull with the agility, dynamism, and speeds of a sports yacht.

A sporty soul but also designed to be versatile, foldable sidewalls that increase the beam from 5.6 meters to 7.6 meters, creating a truly spacious beach area, durable, elegant, and non-slip surfaces for maximum safety in all conditions, a large central sunbathing area, and high-quality finishes are some of the elements that characterize this limited edition of the sea.

Two internal layouts, the Owner which includes an owner’s suite, a VIP cabin, and a crew cabin, and the Family with three guest cabins and a crew cabin. The salon’s seats and sofas are upholstered in BRABUS Masterpiece leather in Moonstone with the iconic honeycomb stitching Triangle. The ceiling is finished in Alcantara, while visible carbon fiber and aluminum inserts with illuminated logos enhance the floors and finishes, and the acoustics are entrusted to a premium audio system Bowers & Wilkins Marine Series.
