Brabus has unveiled the 1200 Sun-Top Phantom Gray Signature Edition, which is part of its biggest range of 45-foot “superboats.”

At the helm, Brabus includes technology such as an Intelligent Steering Module that controls the bow thruster, trim tabs and audio. There are also Simrad navigational touchscreen displays (an extended navigation package is an option) along with Mercury´s Joystick Piloting for Outboards steering system, which includes Skyhook and Mercury autopilot features. Also at the helm are reverse- and night-vision cameras.

Relaxation areas include the foredeck with lounge seating. The helm and cockpit area have seating around a wet bar. There also are foldable balcony doors, and owners can choose among various aft deck layouts. Another wet bar is integrated into the fender box aft. A sofa wraps around the cockpit wet bar, there’s a dining area, and there’s an option for a U-shaped sofa or a cabin aft.

Premium features include JL audio systems and dimmable LED illuminated balcony doors, a carbon LED roof light module, underwater and deck lighting, and optional RGB lighting throughout the boat for setting a mood with a soundtrack. The décor has carbon-fiber accents and bespoke leather upholstery.

According to Brabus, the Shadow 1200 Sun-Top’s Phantom Gray Signature Edition look was inspired by the Brabus Crawler, with upholstery, roof racks, waterski frames and roof pillars styled in “Brabus red.” The process of fairing, painting and polishing reportedly takes as long as six weeks.

Owners can also choose quilted upholstery in Brabus colors that are called “sunrise,” “merlot,” “platinum” and “ice.” Those colors are all options. The front lounge can be ordered in leathers that include light gray.

Features that focus on onboard comfort and fun for all-day cruising include a head with a shower, sink and toilet; a waterski pole painted matte black; sunshades forward and aft with carbon-fiber poles; tinted windows for privacy; dimmable LED interior lights; USB sockets for charging devices at the helm and while hanging out in the forward lounge area; backrests in the forward seating; grills and an induction cooktop for cooking up any fresh catch; and air conditioning in the forward lounge (or a Webasto heater, but not both at once).
