German tuning house Brabus has stretched its expertise beyond high-performance SUVs and sedans to create a catamaran that promises to deliver a sensation of flying above the water. Dubbed the Brabus Ultima 55, this 55-foot powerboat packs 1,430 horsepower and is designed to carry the owner and up to five guests in a combination of raw speed and luxury. The vessel is the latest in Brabus’s growing marine line, which already includes smaller Shadow models.
The Ultima 55 is not just about straight-line acceleration. Brabus has engineered the catamaran with a stepped hull that reduces drag and lifts the boat at speed, creating that floating, airborne feel. Inside, the cabin is fitted with premium materials and carbon-fiber accents, matching the brand’s automotive ethos. It is a statement piece for those who want the same aggressive, opulent style on the water that they demand on the road.
For Saudi buyers, the Brabus Ultima 55 enters a niche segment of high-performance luxury catamarans that are rarely seen in the Kingdom. It will compete mainly with custom-built power cats from brands like Axopar and Williams Jet Tenders, as well as larger performance yachts from firms like Sunseeker. However, no direct rival offers the same Brabus badge appeal or the combined expertise of a car tuner known for extreme horsepower and bespoke detailing.
Saudi shoppers considering the Ultima 55 should pay attention to several factors. The catamaran’s length and draft may limit access to some smaller marinas along the Red Sea coast, and its twin engines require regular expert servicing. Additionally, import regulations and the need for a dedicated mooring spot should be checked in advance. The asking price is expected to be well into the seven-figure range, positioning it firmly as a toy for the ultra-wealthy.
Ultimately, the Brabus Ultima 55 is a bold extension of the brand’s philosophy into marine territory. For those who already own a Brabus-tuned G-Wagon or Maybach, this catamaran offers a natural companion for weekend escapes on the water. With its striking design and claimed sensation of flight, it is sure to turn heads from Jeddah to Dammam.
