Known for tuning Mercedes-Benz and Smart Cars, German tuner Brabus has joined forces with Finnish boatbuilder Axopar to create a high performance, ultra-luxury hyper-boat – the Brabus Shadow 800.

The Shadow 800 is based on the Axopar 37 Sun Top offshore cruising boat, with new technical and aesthetic features added. It is powered by dual Mercury Verado 400R supercharged racing engines that can push the Shadow 800 to a top speed of 50 knots. With extensive use of carbon fibre, beautiful leather and Alcantara, it offers a comfortable, forward double-berth cabin with an open-plan layout that hosts passengers comfortably. A 42-inch flat screen TV with Apple TV connectivity and Fusion sound system allows for relaxing comfortably below deck during a passing rain shower.

Only 20 examples of the hand-built Brabus Shadow 800 are available. Each owner also receives a next-generation Garmin Quatix 5 Sapphire multisport marine wristwatch, as part of the package.
