BRABUS Shadow 1000 XC Cross Cabin
UNFILTERED. PRECISE. UNMISTAKABLE.
BRABUS Shadow 1000 XC CROSS CABIN
The BRABUS Shadow 1000 XC Cross Cabin combines high-performance engineering, premium comfort and intelligent functionality within a highly versatile 38-foot platform. Its distinctive Black Ops exterior, extensive use of exposed carbon fiber and signature BRABUS detailing create an immediate visual impact, while advanced navigation and control technology support precise, intuitive operation at the helm.
Inside, a bespoke BRABUS Masterpiece onboard environment combines premium materials with configurable deck layouts, generous social spaces and practical comfort features. True to the BRABUS One Second Wow mission, every element is designed to unite performance, design and everyday usability in one highly individual day boat concept.
DESIGN & APPEARANCE. BLACK AND BOLD.
The BRABUS Shadow 1000 XC Cross Cabin features a distinctive Black Ops exterior look combining carbon fiber and brand-typical, dark surface finishes. A wide range of exclusive BRABUS carbon elements is integrated throughout the exterior, including a reimagined LED roof light configuration and further details designed specifically for the new Shadow 38 platform. Together, they emphasize the boat’s angular design and give the Shadow 1000 a clear, performance-oriented appearance.
The dark exterior is complemented by Graphite upholstery, while the lighter interior upholstery in BRABUS “Moonstone” creates a clear contrast inside the cabin. Glossy carbon details continue throughout the onboard environment, creating a consistent material theme. Red accents add further visual contrast and reinforce the typical BRABUS color concept. The exterior layout, color combinations and styling details can be configured according to the preferences of the owner.
MESMERIZING POWER. TREND SETTER.
The BRABUS Shadow 1000 XC Cross Cabin produces 735 kW / 1,000 hp courtesy of twin Mercury Racing 500R V8 outboard engines. With a top speed of up to 60 knots, immediate throttle response and breathtaking acceleration, the powerboat was specifically designed for owners who want to explore the full potential of the new platform in its most unrestrained form. Raw power, precise handling and unmistakable presence define an intensely engaging driving experience.
Drawing inspiration from the world of bespoke BRABUS supercars, the Shadow 1000 brings our high-performance DNA to the water with an emphasis on next-level speed and elegance. As the flagship of the new generation and a bold statement for the future direction of BRABUS Marine, it represents the most powerful and uncompromising interpretation of the new BRABUS 38 range.
INNOVATION & Technology. DESIGNED TO PERFORM.
At the helm, the BRABUS Shadow 1000 XC Cross Cabin features a BRABUS steering wheel with an advanced navigation and control setup designed for both dynamic high-speed operation and comfortable extended journeys. Twin 16-inch Simrad NSS EVO4 multifunction displays provide direct access to key navigation and vessel data, supported by available systems including HALO 20+ radar, FLIR 360-degree night vision, rear-view camera and advanced echo sounder technology.
Operation is supported by systems including joystick-controlled trim tabs and a bow thruster with JPO integration, providing precise control during maneuvering and docking. A BRABUS Premium Audio system, configurable RGB ambient lighting and dual-color underwater lights extend the technology package beyond the helm, while air conditioning supports onboard comfort in the cabin. Signature BRABUS Gullwing Doors provide direct access to the bow cabin and add another distinctive functional feature to the Shadow 1000’s design.










PREMIUM ONBOARD EXPERIENCE. LUXURY WITHOUT COMPROMISE.
The interior of the BRABUS Shadow 1000 XC Cross Cabin is shaped in every detail by the BRABUS Masterpiece philosophy, with a clear focus on premium materials, precise craftsmanship and individual configuration. Developed by the artisans of the BRABUS Masterpiece Atelier, the onboard environment combines newly available premium marine upholstery with carefully selected materials and distinctive BRABUS detailing throughout. The lighter “Moonstone” interior creates a warm, contemporary atmosphere, complemented by contrasting carbon elements and signature accents.
Beyond its materials and finish, the interior and deck areas are designed around versatility and everyday usability. Configurable layouts support everything from dynamic cruising and watersports to socializing, relaxation and overnight stays, while available activity platforms extend the usable space directly at the water’s edge. Adaptable aft-deck configurations, integrated wet-bar solutions and generous storage further allow the onboard setup to be tailored to the owner’s individual lifestyle.
