Power & Performance. ZERO COMPROMISE.

At the heart of the new BRABUS SHADOW 1500 XC CROSS CABIN are three supercharged Mercury Racing V8 engines, producing a combined output of 1,115 kw / 1,500 hp. This powertrain makes the Shadow 1500 one of the most agile high-performance dayboats in its class — boasting uncompromising acceleration and handling precision that transforms every voyage into a thrilling, visceral adventure. Effortlessly cruising at 40 knots and reaching top speeds of up to 62 knots, it delivers performance unparalleled in its class, ensuring thrilling adventures on the open water.

DESIGN & APPEARANCE. YOUR STYLE. BRABUSIZED.

Blending power, innovation and style: the BRABUS SHADOW 1500 transforms every moment on the water into an unforgettable journey with its BRABUS typical aesthetic, thrilling performance and an undeniably luxurious ambience. With just a single touch, premium levels of onboard usability merge with unparalleled versatility. Seamlessly see the boat transform from an enclosed all-weather cabin to a fully open boat, perfected to deliver premium day and overnight boating experiences with nothing less than the highest level of BRABUS Masterpiece luxury and attention to detail.

Courtesy of its modular layout, it is designed to accommodate a wide range of activities, making it ideal for both thrilling rides and laid-back social hangouts. Whether you’re planning a casual day trip or a longer journey, the Cross Top is built for flexibility, adapting effortlessly to all types of adventures.

INNOVATION & Technology. INTELLIGENCE MEETS INSTINCT.

At the helm, you control every cubic inch of the SHADOW 1500’s power in a clean, functional and uncluttered cockpit that is packed with the best in modern marine technology, ranging from the Intelligent Steering Module that controls the bow thruster, trim tabs and audio to the innovative Simrad navigational touchscreen displays and extended navigation package. The helm setup is deliberately configured without Joystick Piloting for Outboards (JPO) as standard, ensuring the most direct connection between driver and machine at high speeds. For those prioritizing docking assistance and advanced positioning control, JPO is offered as an optional system upgrade.

PREMIUM Onboard Experience. PERFECTION IN EVERY DETAIL.

Truly impressive onboard this premium-luxury cabin cruiser are the five massive social spaces onboard: the foredeck, helm, cockpit, including the balcony doors, aft deck, and the front lounge with the gullwing doors. Thanks to the extra-wide sociable sofa that wraps around the cockpit wetbar, a large dining area, and the option for a u-sofa or an aft cabin on the aft deck, there is plenty of room to entertain guests. Next-level functionality especially meets style and comfort with the innovative, brabusized balcony doors: simply fold down the spacious side doors in the hull and extend your social and relaxation area amid-ship even further.

The dedication to luxurious practicality and passion for detail continues inside the wheelhouse, front cabin, and optional aft accommodation, with distinctive carbon fiber detailing, BRABUS Masterpiece Leather options with BRABUS piping and stitching, and the BRABUS Sign of Excellence.

Every aspect of the BRABUS SHADOW 1500 is an homage to high-performance boating, making it the ultimate choice for those who demand both superior power and refined on-board luxury.
