Supercar of the Sea: Sunreef & Brabus Launch the 40-Knot Ultima 55

Sunreef Yachts and Brabus have shattered expectations with the debut of the Ultima 55, a high-performance luxury catamaran that seamlessly bridges the gap between advanced naval architecture and automotive pedigree. Measuring 55.8 feet with an 18.4-foot beam, this inaugural fruit of their partnership brings the agility and speed of a modern monohull into the stable, spacious domain of a multihull. 

Propelled by twin six-cylinder engines churning out a combined 1,450 horsepower, the vessel easily surges past the 40-knot threshold. An innovative hydrofoil system elevates the hulls to dramatically reduce hydrodynamic drag and eliminate heel, offering passengers the exhilarating sensation of flight across the water.

Aesthetic aggression meets refined engineering on the exterior, dominated by an extensive carbon-fiber concept finished in Graphite Black or Phantom Grey. Signature elements like exposed-carbon front and rear wings, illuminated Brabus logo pillars, and functional LED roof lights give the craft an unmistakable presence. Life on deck revolves around versatility and high-end materials like durable Esthec flooring. 

The aft cockpit transforms dynamically through lateral folding platforms that expand the beam to nearly 25 feet, flanked by transformer sunpads, an extendable carbon-fiber dining table, and a fully equipped wet bar with an electric barbecue. Up front, a dedicated central sunpad offers a private escape for open-air relaxation.

Stepping inside reveals a cabin philosophy directly inspired by Brabus supercars. The saloon envelops guests in Moonstone Masterpiece leather featuring the signature Triangle stitching, contrasted by Alcantara headliners and exposed carbon-fiber trim throughout the helm and seating.

Aluminum floor accents with illuminated logos and customizable ambient lighting set a sophisticated mood, anchored by a centralized widescreen navigation interface sporting a bespoke Brabus UI. The integrated galley is fully loaded with an induction cooktop, oven, refrigeration, and a clever 43-inch television that retracts electronically into the countertop. 

Accommodating up to six guests across flexible layouts finished in curated wood veneers and carbon accents, the Brabus Ultima 55 delivers an unmatched fusion of supercar aggression and refined yachting luxury.
