Trade-In Information

• RIB Boat


• Aluminum boat

Boat Overview

In Brabus form, it transforms into an entirely new boat, where performance, design, and comfort merge into a powerful yet easy-to-handle package. With twin Mercury ProXS V8 engines (500 hp), electric steering, bow thruster, and trim tabs, the helm feels both secure and explosive – whether you prefer cruising at 40 knots or gliding calmly into the evening sun. At the same time, this is a boat designed for life onboard – not just for speed.

Cabin Features

The cabin provides protection, overnight accommodation, and comfort even on cooler days, while expansive open areas, sunbed, foredeck lounge, swim platform, and aft deck shower make it ideal for warm summer days with family and friends. The electrically opening canvas roof transforms the entire cabin into an open-air space, and the sound system turns every trip into an experience.

Exterior Design

The exterior is uniquely Brabus: Platinum Grey hull, carbon fiber railings, black anodized detailing, and Brabus Red sunbed cushions. Inside, the theme continues with Brabus Fine Leather, red contrast stitching, LED lighting, a Fusion stereo with 1600W amplifier, and smart storage solutions.

Navigation System

Navigation is handled by twin 12” Garmin plotters with radar and VHF – all integrated into a Brabus-designed helm layout.

Specifications

This specific boat was built in 2020 as part of the Brabus demo series but was not delivered or commissioned until 2023. It has only one owner, has been lightly used, and has under 50 engine hours.
