1,500 HP Boats | Autonomous Passage | Marinas Tripling Revenue - 11/4/25

1,500 HP ON WATER Born from a wild partnership between high-octane tuners and offshore builders, the Brabus 1500 Shadow is pure adrenaline. She packs 1,500 horses from a trio of Mercury Racing V8s—seriously fast stuff. Even at 60 knots, her deep-V, twin-stepped hull keeps the ride smooth. With a gorgeous interior and those cool gullwing doors, she’s ready to play all day and look good doing it.
 

NOT YOUR AVERAGE BEAM Omaya Yachts, backed by three decades of Elica manufacturing expertise, created the 50 by centering livability. She claims best-in-class beam for a commanding salon and a foredeck lounge that rivals any yacht twice her size. Twin staircases to the expansive flybridge and a high/low aft platform complete a thoughtful exterior flow designed for the social owner. 
 

SPORTFISH Down Under is a 51 Riviera Convertible powered with reliable CAT C18’s. She has Garmin electronics and a flybridge made for fishing or entertaining. Three Stateroom and two head layout.  She is ready for new owners.

FLOATING HOMES Marinas are under increasing pressure to maximize real estate, and floating homes are the surprising answer. By classifying these high-spec accommodations as vessels, operators are bypassing complex planning laws while generating three to four times the revenue of a conventional berth. This article explores how this model, already proven successful in the UK, is attracting new demographics and poised to hit the American waterfront.
 

GIBRALTAR SELF-SAIL A major USV just silenced its critics by navigating the Straits of Gibraltar—the world's busiest strait—in a fully autonomous, 1,100-mile voyage. Exail's DriX O-16 completed the six-day trip on algorithms alone, demonstrating reliable judgment in dense traffic. This milestone confirms that fully-automatic passage making is possible, holding massive implications for the future of self-sailing.
 

DECOMPRESSION CHAMBER INCLUDED Dubbed the world's largest toy box, this 66-meter Astilleros Armón shadow catamaran follows her Feadship mothership, carrying more gear than most vessels combined: nine Jet Skis, quad bikes, and a submersible. Built with a warship-like profile, she’s not just about thrills; she includes a full dive center, decompression chamber, and even a medical triage area for serious exploration.
