BRABUS unveils the all-new Shadow 38 range 

BRABUS Marine has announced the all-new BRABUS Shadow 38 range following an exclusive media briefing in Mallorca, ahead of its global debut later this year. 

The next-generation 38ft performance boat range comprises two models: the BRABUS Shadow 1000 XC Cross Cabin and the BRABUS Shadow 850 XC Cross Cabin. Both succeed the BRABUS Shadow 900 and 1000 series and further develop the proven Axopar 37 platform. 

The Shadow 1000 XC Cross Cabin is the performance flagship of the new range. Powered by twin Mercury Racing 500R V8 engines, it delivers a combined 1,000hp and is said to reach nearly 60 knots. 

The Shadow 850 XC Cross Cabin uses twin Mercury 425 V10 engines, producing a combined 850hp. With a top speed of up to 55 knots, it is positioned as a more refined long-distance cruising option, combining performance with comfort and control

The Shadow 38 range has been developed through the continuing collaboration between Axopar Boats and BRABUS, combining Finnish boatbuilding expertise with German performance engineering and luxury craftsmanship. 

BRABUS Marine says the new models introduce enhanced modular configurability, allowing owners to tailor layouts, design details and materials to suit their individual preferences. 

The full BRABUS Shadow 38 range will make its official world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival from 8-13 September 2026. It will also be shown at the Monaco Yacht Show from 23-26 September 2026.
