About this tender
The BRABUS Shadow 900 XC Cross Cabin Stealth Green Signature Edition is the build we ask BRABUS Marine for when a programme requires a fully enclosed, all-weather cabin cruiser that can run at 55+ knots and carry ten passengers at CE Category B offshore certification. At 11.73m on a twin-stepped 20-degree V hull, it occupies serious deck space, but the Cross Cabin format earns every metre: sliding doors, an opening sun-roof, and a queen-size forward berth give it capability well beyond a day-run tender.
Power comes from dual Mercury Racing 450R Verado XL outboards - 4.6-litre V8 four-stroke units producing 450 hp each, 900 hp combined. BRABUS pairs that driveline with Mercury's joystick piloting system, Skyhook digital anchor, and autopilot as standard fitment, which matters when you are manoeuvring alongside a mothership in a chop. The Simrad dual-touch glass helm with twin 12-inch screens and the integrated Panerai watch display are detail-level touches that position this firmly against the premium Italian performance-cruiser segment.
The Stealth Green Signature Edition is a colour and equipment grade built on the standard Shadow 900 XC Cross Cabin platform. The exclusive Stealth Green yacht-paint finish, carbon elements in matte black, BRABUS Sunrise upholstery, and edition-specific badging distinguish it from the catalogue build. Optional aft-cabin accommodation extends sleeping capacity to four persons, making it credible as a short-range independent cruiser rather than purely a mothership support vessel.
We would put this alongside the Axopar 37 XC and the Pardo 38 when owners ask us for a high-performance cabin cruiser that can live on a superyacht programme. The BRABUS build quality, factory carbon package, and Mercury Racing driveline are differentiators; the 728-litre fuel capacity keeps range honest at cruise. CE Category B and C dual-classification means your captain has genuine flexibility on where the vessel can legally operate.
Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
Dual Mercury Racing 450R Verado XL 4.6-litre V8 four-stroke outboards deliver a combined 900 hp and a quoted top speed in excess of 55 knots. Mercury joystick piloting, Skyhook digital anchor, and autopilot come as standard on this edition, supporting single-handed mothership approach work.
The Shadow 900 XC Cross Cabin carries Category B offshore and Category C coastal certification simultaneously, with separate passenger limits of ten and twelve respectively. That dual classification gives captains genuine routing flexibility without a re-survey when conditions change.
The Cross Cabin body features two large sliding doors, an electric opening sun-roof, and a fully weatherproofed main cabin. Optional air-conditioning and a Webasto heater extend the usable season; the standard forward berth sleeps two, with an optional aft-cabin package raising that to four persons.
BRABUS specifies a twin-stepped 20-degree deadrise V hull with a sharp entry on the Shadow 900 platform. At 4,500 kg and 11.73m, the hull geometry is designed to reduce resistance at speed while maintaining directional stability in offshore sea states consistent with a Category B operating envelope.
Standard fit is a Simrad dual-touch glass bridge with two 12-inch screens, integrated Panerai watch display, and a BRABUS user interface covering navigation, engine management, and entertainment. The optional Extended Navigation package adds two further 9-inch screens, a Simrad Halo20+ radar, VHF with AIS receiver, and a 4G mobile WiFi router.
