Cannes, France — 8 September 2026 · world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival.
A 38-foot, 1,000-horsepower day boat with a cabin amidships, carbon everywhere and a 60-knot top speed.
Black and bold
The Shadow 1000 XC Cross Cabin wears a Black Ops exterior of carbon fibre and dark surface finishes. Exclusive BRABUS carbon elements run throughout it, including a reimagined LED roof light configuration drawn for the new Shadow 38 platform. Graphite upholstery outside is set against a lighter interior in BRABUS “Moonstone”, with glossy carbon details and red accents carried through.
A thousand horsepower on the transom
Twin Mercury Racing 500R V8 outboards give the boat 1,000 horsepower and a top speed of up to 60 knots. BRABUS says it drew on its bespoke supercars, bringing that high-performance DNA to the water. It is the flagship of the new generation and the most uncompromising reading of the BRABUS 38 range.
Masterpiece inside
The interior follows the BRABUS Masterpiece philosophy, built by the Masterpiece Atelier around premium materials and individual configuration. Configurable layouts cover cruising, watersports, socialising and overnight stays, and available activity platforms extend the usable space to the water’s edge. Adaptable aft-deck configurations, wet-bar solutions and generous storage let the setup be tailored further.
