Brabus and AB Yachts are presenting their first joint yacht, the AB110. The 33.70-metre vessel made its world debut at the Monaco Yacht Show in September 2026 and marks the Bottrop-based tuning firm’s entry into the superyacht segment. With 7,800 PS, the AB110 is expected to reach a top speed of 48 knots.

The Brabus AB110 is the first result of the partnership announced in July 2026 between Brabus and the the Italian shipyard AB Yachts. The vessel is 33.70 metres long, 6.80 metres wide and has a maximum draught of 1.30 metres. The hull and superstructure are made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic, which reduces weight and increases strength.

Drive and performance

Three MTU 16V 2000 M96L diesel engines, each producing 2,600 PS (1,939 kilowatts), power the yacht. The combined power output of 7,800 PS is transmitted via two steerable waterjet propulsion systems from MJP, supplemented by a central booster. Unlike conventional propellers, waterjet propulsion systems draw in water and eject it backwards at high pressure, enabling precise manoeuvring. At 90 per cent engine power, the cruising speed is 41 knots according to the manufacturer, equivalent to around 76 kilometres per hour. At this speed, the yacht is said to have a range of 370 nautical miles or 685 kilometres. The fuel tank holds 11,500 litres, whilst the fresh water tank holds 2,000 litres.

Exterior design and decks

The exterior design bears the hallmark Brabus signature. An illuminated roof spoiler sits above the flybridge, the upper helm station, whilst carbon fibre elements frame the engine compartment’s air vents. Red design accents add splashes of colour. The yacht is divided into three decks: the lower deck, the main deck and the sun deck. The latter also serves as the flybridge and is accessible from the main deck via two staircases edged with carbon fibre. At the bow of the main deck is a large sunbathing area with an unobstructed view to the front, whilst aft there is a second seating area right at the water’s edge. The upholstery features the characteristic Brabus ‘Triangle’ quilting.

Sun deck and helm

The sun deck features two large sun loungers and seating areas on the port and starboard sides. Two carbon fibre tables serve as storage surfaces, whilst integrated storage compartments keep the deck tidy. The secondary steering units on the starboard side are primarily intended for manoeuvring in harbour and can be fully retracted when not in use. The main helm station features a bespoke Brabus steering wheel and a specially upholstered driver’s seat in Masterpiece leather with Triangle quilting. A central Brabus emblem adds a further brand highlight.

Interior and cabins

The main deck features a spacious lounge area with two large sofas, as well as a dining area with a table seating up to eight people. A separate bathroom completes this level. The lower deck offers four cabins accommodating up to ten guests: The owner’s cabin has an en-suite bathroom and a dressing area; two guest cabins each have an en-suite bathroom; and a separate VIP cabin completes the guest accommodation. Two cabins are available for the crew, accommodating a total of four people, along with a galley and a crew mess.

Rear garage and water sports

At the stern there is an integrated garage that accommodates a jet-powered dinghy and a three-seater jet ski. Other water sports equipment, such as stand-up paddleboards, snorkelling gear and tow rings, can be stowed away in additional storage compartments. An integrated winch and roller system makes it easier to handle larger items of equipment. Once the dinghy and jet ski have been launched, the entire stern platform transforms into a relaxation area just above the water’s surface – a sort of floating lounge.

Stability and comfort

A gyroscopic stabilisation system is designed to ensure comfort both whilst underway and at anchor. The technology utilises rotating flyweights that counteract the ship’s movements, thereby reducing rolling.

Further models planned

The AB110 is the first of three planned models. The smaller Brabus AB95 measures 28.45 metres and is powered by three MAN V12X-2200 engines, each producing 2,200 PS. The larger Brabus AB150 is set to be unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2027, to coincide with Brabus’s 50th anniversary. Prices for the models have not yet been announced.

Editor Test & Technology

Ole Puls was born in Schleswig in 1999. He quickly swapped the football pitch for the Schlei and grew up sailing a wide variety of dinghies and tall ships. From his grandfather's self-built wooden opti and a Europe to a 49er and an X362 Sport, there was a lot to choose from. After leaving school, Puls decided to train as a boat builder at the high-tech shipyard Knierim Yachtbau in Kiel in 2016. He successfully completed his training in 2020 and stayed at the shipyard as a bachelor. In 2022, he decided not only to build boats, but also to test them. Since then, he has been working for Delius Klasing Verlag in the Test & Technology section of BOOTE magazine. The training he received and the eye for detail and quality of workmanship he acquired help him immensely today. Even though he is a regatta sailor with heart and soul, he feels right at home on motorboats and enjoys separating his professional and private lives and yet combining them. Because we all know one thing: there is simply no better place to be than on the water.
