BRABUS Shadow 45 Lands in North America: The 1,500-HP Dayboat Moment Hits Fort Lauderdale
SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 26, 2025 – If you’ve ever wished a dayboat could feel like a supercar—fast, sculpted, and unapologetically premium—BRABUS Marine is bringing that fantasy to the U.S. spotlight at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2025. Following the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 world premiere of the BRABUS Shadow 1500, the brand is using FLIBS for the official U.S. debut of its new 45-foot platform, led by the Shadow 1500 XC Cross Cabin and its “Phantom Grey” Signature Edition styling.
A 45-Foot Range Built Around Two Personalities
The headline here isn’t just “new model,” it’s “choose your vibe.” BRABUS Marine positions the Shadow 45 range as a shared platform with two distinct character profiles: the BRABUS Shadow 1200 and the BRABUS Shadow 1500. Think of it as the difference between an effortless Gran Turismo mindset and a full-throttle performance statement—same size class, very different energy.
