Performance One of the BRABUS AB 110’s defining characteristics is its speed. The yacht is powered by three MTU 16V 2000 M96L diesel engines, each producing 2,600 horsepower, for a combined output of 7,800 horsepower. Rather than conventional propellers, the yacht uses a waterjet propulsion system consisting of two steerable waterjets and a central booster. Waterjets generate thrust by drawing in water and expelling it at high velocity. This configuration provides responsive maneuvering and is particularly useful for high-performance vessels operating at elevated speeds. The BRABUS AB 110 reaches a maximum speed of 48 knots (approximately 55 mph or 89 km/h). Its cruising speed is 41 knots, with a reported range of approximately 370 nautical miles at that speed. A gyroscopic stabilization system helps reduce rolling motion both while cruising and when the yacht is stationary. The hull and superstructure are constructed from composite materials, which help reduce overall weight while maintaining structural strength. Giorgio Mattei, Deputy Chairman of Next Yacht Group, explained the engineering and design partnership: “AB Yachts has always challenged conventional ideas of what a high-performance yacht can be, and working with BRABUS has allowed us to interpret that DNA through a distinctive new lens.”
