BRABUS and AB Yachts Set First BRABUS Yacht World Premiere for Monaco 2026

Sept. 14, 2026 Projects AB Yachts

BRABUS and AB Yachts will unveil the first yacht from their new performance-luxury partnership at Monaco Yacht Show 2026 on 23 September.

AB Yachts and BRABUS are preparing to reveal the first yacht created under their new strategic partnership at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026. The collaboration combines the Italian yard’s high-performance yacht engineering with BRABUS design, customisation and luxury-performance identity.

The official Monaco Yacht Show conference programme lists a BRABUS × AB Yachts press conference for 23 September at Quai Antoine Ier. That gives the partnership a defined launch point during the show and moves the project from an announced collaboration into its first public product presentation.

A new performance-yacht collaboration

AB Yachts and BRABUS announced their partnership in July, describing a shared programme intended to produce a dedicated range of BRABUS yachts. The first model is scheduled for its world premiere in Monaco, with another world premiere already planned for the 2027 edition.

The project extends BRABUS Marine into a larger yacht category while giving AB Yachts another platform for combining lightweight construction, waterjet propulsion and high-performance engineering with a globally recognised luxury design brand.

Monaco becomes the first public reveal

The 2026 Monaco Yacht Show runs from 23 to 26 September in Port Hercule. According to the show’s official conference agenda, the BRABUS × AB Yachts presentation is scheduled for 11:00 on the opening day.

Technical specifications and the exact identity of the debut yacht have not yet been fully published by the partners. Superyacht Guide will therefore wait for the official reveal before adding unverified dimensions or performance claims.

Why the partnership matters

AB Yachts has built its reputation around speed, lightweight structures and waterjet propulsion, while BRABUS is known for bespoke design, performance and visual identity. Their combined programme could create a distinctive position in the fast-yacht segment if the first yacht delivers the promised blend of performance and customisation.

Further details will be added after the Monaco presentation when the builder releases the final production specification.
