Brabus Shadow 900 XC Cross Cabin (2025)

Ultra-luxurious SUV of the Sea – Transforming the traditional perception of what a purposeful cabin cruiser should look like, the unmistakable look of the BRABUS Shadow 900 XC has created a new yet instantly recognizable face within this popular boating genre.

The twin 450 horsepower Mercury racing outboards make cruising at 40 knots almost compulsory. And we have rarely been on the helm of a boat that makes 60 knots feel so normal. But it’s also incredibly functional and is just as happy loading up with water toys and a picknick for a day at the beach, as it is ferrying VIPs from the key side to bathing platform as a superyacht chase boat. Jury statement, Motor Boat Awards 2022. With a combined output of 900hp from Mercury Marine’s latest dual 450R Verado XL 4.6 litre V8 FourStroke engines, this powerhouse has a superb power-to-weight ratio, offering up to 55+ knots performance at the very top-end and with up to 40 knots typical cruising speeds. Supplied exclusively with the Mercury Joystick Piloting helm control system including skyhook digital anchor and autopilot. Class-leading performance in every respect.

With versatile storage and people-carrying capability, the Shadow 900 is easily one of the world’s best luxury tenders or chase boats, perfectly at home in the company of the world’s finest superyachts.
