BRABUS ULTIMA 55 Luxury Catamaran Boasts 1,450 Horsepower, Foils, and a Deck That Swallows a Party

Sunreef Yachts and BRABUS just put their names on the same boat for the first time. The result is the ULTIMA 55, a 55.8-foot carbon-heavy catamaran that treats open water the way BRABUS treats asphalt. Two 10.8-liter six-cylinder engines sit in the hulls, each making 533 kW or 725 horsepower. Combined output hits 1,450 horsepower and the boat clears 40 knots. An advanced hydrofoil system lifts the hulls higher as speed builds, cutting drag and almost erasing heel so the ride stays level and surprisingly quiet even when the throttles are pinned.

The length comes in at 55.8 feet, the beam is 18.4 feet, but when the lateral folding platforms are dropped, that increases to 24.9 feet, and you have an open-ended terrace at the back, similar to a private beach club rather than a normal yacht’s cockpit. Then there’s the Esthec decking, which provides a sturdy footing whether wet or dry. The transformer sunpads change from comfortable loungers to upright seating options. They have an extensible carbon fiber dining table, an electric BBQ, and a wet bar that are ready for anything from a quiet afternoon to a big party. Up ahead, there is a separate central sunpad where you may spend some peaceful time away from the action.

Carbon fiber is now popping up in all the right places. So you’ve got exposed front and back wings, pillars with illuminated BRABUS emblems, side ventilation elements, and you know what truly caps it off? The unique roof rack features carbon-fiber LED lights, which serve as both functional lighting and a signature design element. Owners can choose between Graphite Black and Phantom Grey for the hull, as well as BRABUS Graphite, Red, or Pearl exterior upholstery.

Stepping inside the cabin, you’ll feel as if you’re in a car, since the BRABUS automotive interiors have been directly adapted into the yacht. Moonstone Masterpiece leather covers the seating, with the signature Triangle stitching pattern. The area is finished with Alcantara headlining, exposed carbon fiber, aluminum accents, and unique ambient lighting. You’ve fully outfitted the kitchen, with a 43-inch TV that pops up from the counter when needed and, of course, Bowers & Wilkins Marine Series speakers to handle the music. The nicest feature are the height-adjustable tables, which change the saloon into a dining or lounge area in an instant.

The helm area follows the same principle, with a single widescreen BRABUS interface that brings all navigation and system management together in one spot. The engine controls are right there for when you need them, and the joystick operation allows the boat to spin on a sixpence for snug docking.

You can select between two cabin configurations, with the regular one featuring a master suite, a VIP stateroom for four guests, and a crew cabin. The other option includes a third cabin for six guests and one crew member to remain overnight. It’s all the same down there, with wood veneers and more carbon fiber. So the lower decks remain consistent with the rest of the boat. The specifications include 1,500 liters of fuel, which is ample given that you have 330 litres of freshwater on tap, as well as a 10.5 kW generator to meet your electrical demands. The maximum draft is 4.6 feet, and the boat is CE Category B approved for 12 passengers or C certified for 20.

Sunreef handled the most of the naval design, then turned it over to BRABUS to give it a visual identity, add some high performance with their materials, and put their visual stamp on the project. The ULTIMA 55 is the first product of that relationship, as well as the first to be delivered to Sunreef’s Ras Al Khaimah factory in this configuration. In terms of price, the basic non-BRABUS Ultima 55 has been advertised (before any additional fees) at around the mid-two million mark, and the BRABUS version is almost certainly more expensive.
