Brabus to Debut First Co-Designed Yacht at Monaco Yacht Show
Brabus, the renowned German performance brand, has teamed up with Italian yacht manufacturer AB Yachts to launch its inaugural yacht line, expanding beyond previous partnerships with Axopar and Sunreef Yachts. The first model is set to be unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show from September 23 to 26, 2026, with a follow-up presentation scheduled for the 2027 event. This collaboration will merge Brabus's striking design and customization with AB Yachts's proficiency in lightweight construction and waterjet propulsion, enabling speeds of up to 60 knots. Founded in 1992 and now under the Next Yacht Group umbrella, AB Yachts specializes in open yachts ranging from AB 80 to AB 130. Brabus CEO Constantin Buschmann highlighted their mutual ambition to push limits, while Giorgio Mattei, deputy chairman of Next Yacht Group, referred to the partnership as "love at first sight." Brabus's "One-Second-Wow" philosophy will infuse the yacht designs with dramatic visual appeal, sculpted carbon fiber, and tailored interiors, appealing to owners desiring the blend of yacht scale and supercar flair.
