The Monaco Yacht Show has always been the ultimate stage for ground-breaking nautical partnerships, and the 2026 edition delivered one of the most exciting reveals in recent years. AB Yachts, a prominent brand of the Next Yacht Group, has officially joined forces with the iconic German luxury and tuning brand BRABUS to present the BRABUS AB110. Measuring 33.70 meters (110.7 feet) in length, this high-performance luxury vessel represents the first-ever fully fledged BRABUS yacht, blending the shipyard’s waterjet propulsion mastery with the unmistakable aesthetic DNA of Bottrop.
Far from being a limited one-off project, the BRABUS AB110 serves as the centerpiece of an exclusive new three-model yacht family. The core collaboration also includes the smaller 95-foot BRABUS AB95 and a flagship 150-foot BRABUS AB150 superyacht, which is scheduled to make its official world premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2027—perfectly timed to celebrate BRABUS’ 50th anniversary.
Constantin Buschmann, CEO and owner of BRABUS, explained the profound significance of this debut: “Monaco is a place where you can feel the pulse of the yachting world like no other, and that has always made it a very special stage for us. This year, however, we are doing something we have never done before: with the world premiere of the BRABUS AB110, we are presenting the first-ever BRABUS yacht. Together with AB Yachts, we are taking our marine portfolio into an entirely new dimension – combining their engineering expertise with our signature approach to performance and detail-driven design to create something that still feels unmistakably BRABUS. I’m incredibly proud of the work both teams have done, and we’re already looking forward to coming back to Monaco in 2027 to celebrate our 50th anniversary.”
Giorgio Mattei, Deputy Chairman of Next Yacht Group, shared a similarly ambitious perspective on the alliance: “This partnership is about much more than bringing two brands together. It is about combining two very strong identities and two shared obsessions: performance and the pursuit of excellence. AB Yachts has always challenged conventional ideas of what a high-performance yacht can be, and working with BRABUS has allowed us to interpret that DNA through a distinctive new lens. The BRABUS AB range is the result of a genuine exchange between our teams, bringing together our engineering know-how and experience on the water with BRABUS’ unmistakable approach to design, detail and individuality. What we are presenting in Monaco is not simply one yacht, but the beginning of a range and of a collaboration that we believe has significant potential for the future.”
Blistering Speeds and Advanced Control
At its heart, the BRABUS AB110 is a performance thoroughbred. The yacht is equipped with up to three heavy-duty MTU 16V 2000 M96L power plants, with each engine pumping out an impressive 1,939 kW (2,600 hp). This brings the collective muscle of the machine to a staggering 5,817 kW / 7,800 hp, rocketing the sleek vessel to a maximum speed of 48 knots.
This power is effectively deployed through a next-generation waterjet propulsion system, offering a direct, highly dynamic driving experience. Despite its raw power, guest comfort is heavily prioritized; advanced stabilization systems ensure an ultra-smooth ride while cruising or resting at anchor.
Carbon-Fiber Form and the “One Second Wow”
The exterior shell of the vessel utilizes a range of specialized, lightweight carbon-fiber components designed to accentuate its aggressive stance. Key visual highlights include an illuminated BRABUS roof spoiler that cuts a sharp line across the silhouette, exposed-carbon front wings, and distinctive LED roof lights mounted directly on the front superstructure. Additional exposed carbon neatly frames the heavy engine air intakes embedded in the aft quarters.
Finished with the characteristically dark, metallic exterior coatings and punctuated by the signature red accents synonymous with BRABUS, the yacht achieves its primary aesthetic goal: the brand’s legendary One Second Wow effect.
The Masterpiece Lifestyle Experience
The internal layout is split seamlessly across the lower, main, and sun decks, accommodating up to ten guests in total luxury alongside dedicated quarters for a professional crew. The interior spaces feature the signature BRABUS Masterpiece treatment, characterized by meticulous tailoring, bespoke materials, and unparalleled attention to detail.
Outdoor socialization is spread intelligently across the vessel:
- The Bow Area: Features a wide sunpad and an adjacent seating area that forms a highly private, forward-facing retreat with uninterrupted ocean views.
- The Aft Main Deck: Houses a secondary cockpit lounge for close-to-the-water entertainment, seamlessly connecting to a versatile aft garage that transforms into a luxury sea-level beach club.
- The Sun Deck / Flybridge: Accessed via dual carbon-fiber-clad staircases, this expansive area is equipped with two oversized sunpads, port and starboard lounge seating, and dual carbon-fiber tables. For convenient port maneuvers, a secondary helm console operating the waterjet system is neatly integrated into the starboard storage unit.
All exterior loose seating and integrated pads feature the iconic BRABUS “Triangle” quilting pattern, creating a flawless visual harmony that bridges the car, watch, and marine worlds into a single luxury statement.
