A new BRABUS-Sunreef performance catamaran
The BRABUS ULTIMA 55 brings the distinctive BRABUS design language to a 17-metre luxury power catamaran developed with Sunreef Yachts. It is based on the ULTIMA platform but is presented as a separate collaboration model, combining Sunreef's multihull experience with BRABUS styling, detailing and performance engineering. The result is aimed at owners who want the space and stability associated with a catamaran without the visual bulk of a conventional cruising multihull.
Performance and outdoor living
BRABUS describes the ULTIMA 55 as a fast, low-profile yacht with twin high-output engines and a hydrofoil system intended to reduce drag and improve ride efficiency at speed. Folding side platforms substantially increase the usable width of the aft deck when opened, creating a larger waterside terrace around the sunpads, dining area, wet bar and entertainment equipment. The bow provides a separate open-air relaxation zone, giving the yacht distinct social spaces despite its relatively compact overall length.
Accommodation and buyer appeal
Two accommodation arrangements are offered, allowing the yacht to prioritise either a larger two-guest-cabin configuration or additional guest capacity, while retaining dedicated crew accommodation. This makes the BRABUS ULTIMA 55 relevant both as a high-performance weekender and as a more capable short-cruising yacht. For buyers comparing 15-18 metre power yachts, its strongest differentiators are the multihull footprint, broad deck area, performance focus and unusually strong automotive-inspired design identity.
