2023 BRABUS Shadow 500 T Top

The 2023 BRABUS Shadow 500 T-Top is a high-performance sport yacht built for owners who want race-bred acceleration and everyday usability. Twin Mercury 250 HP outboards push this 31-foot hull to a 50-knot top end, while the T-Top provides shade without sacrificing the open-air feel. This near-new example shows only 70 engine hours and comes ceramic-coated, ready for Mediterranean day runs or weekend escapes.
 

This yacht suits buyers who value speed and style over long-range cruising. A family can use it for swimming stops and lunch runs, while a couple can overnight in the cabin during weekend trips. Owners stepping down from a larger motor yacht will appreciate the easy handling, low maintenance, and trailerable potential. It is not a bluewater passage maker, but it excels in coastal waters like Saint-Tropez.
 

Is the 2023 BRABUS Shadow 500 T-Top for Sale?

Yes, this 2023 BRABUS Shadow 500 T-Top is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The yacht is located in Saint-Tropez and is being actively marketed to buyers who value speed and style over long-range cruising. Because BRABUS Shadow models have limited production and strong brand appeal, availability of a comparable example in similar condition may be limited.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than the condition of the specific boat. Engine hours, service records, ceramic coating warranty, hull condition, and indoor storage history should all be reviewed. A well-maintained example with documented services and indoor winter storage can have a very different ownership profile from another Shadow 500 that has seen heavier use.
 

2023 BRABUS Shadow 500 T-Top Price

The asking price for this 2023 BRABUS Shadow 500 T-Top should be confirmed directly with the listing broker, as pricing for near-new performance yachts varies with condition, equipment, and documented service history. This luxury yacht for sale is priced to move, so act quickly if the layout fits your needs. BRABUS Shadow models hold value well because of limited production and strong brand appeal, but condition and service records matter most for resale. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
 

The purchase price is only part of the budget for a 31-foot performance yacht. Fuel burn at cruising speed for twin 250 HP outboards typically lands between 80 and 100 liters per hour, so a 400-liter tank gives roughly four hours of fast running. Annual maintenance includes engine services, anode replacement, and ceramic coating upkeep. Buyers should also account for a professional survey, haul-out, insurance, dockage, and general upkeep.
 

Performance and Propulsion

This BRABUS Shadow 500 T-Top is powered by twin 250 HP Mercury PRO XS outboards with only 70 hours. The Mercury PRO XS is a high-performance outboard known for strong acceleration and reliable operation, and the low hours mean this near-new example has seen light use. The twin installation delivers a 50-knot top speed and a 40-knot cruise for fast coastal hops.
 

The 31-foot hull is designed for race-bred acceleration and everyday usability, and the outboards provide the power and handling that BRABUS Shadow buyers expect. Actual speed and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, propeller condition, and hull maintenance, so a sea trial should be used to verify the performance of the individual boat. Fuel burn at cruising speed for twin 250 HP outboards typically lands between 80 and 100 liters per hour.
 

Exterior Design and Construction

This 2023 BRABUS Shadow 500 T-Top features the BRABUS Shadow 500 T-Top layout with a protected helm and sun lounge, and the T-Top provides shade without sacrificing the open-air feel. A full ceramic coating preserves the gelcoat and simplifies cleaning, while indoor winter storage and completed services are documented. The 31-foot hull is built for speed and style in coastal waters.
 

Buyers should inspect the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, propellers, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, and any signs of water intrusion or previous structural repairs. The ceramic coating should be checked for condition, and the ceramic coating warranty should be reviewed. The T-Top structure, protected helm, sun lounge, deck hardware, and railings should also be tested during a personal inspection.
 

Interior and Accommodation

This 2023 BRABUS Shadow 500 T-Top offers one cabin and head for overnighting. A couple can overnight in the cabin during weekend trips, and the layout provides practical accommodation without adding the weight of a full cruiser. The interior is designed to support day boating and short escapes rather than long-range cruising.
 

Individual boats may have different upholstery, appliances, flooring, entertainment systems, and interior finishes depending on subsequent refits. Buyers should inspect the galley equipment, refrigeration if equipped, plumbing, bilge systems, and all accommodation spaces for condition and evidence of regular maintenance. The single-cabin arrangement keeps the interior simple and easy to maintain.
 

What to Check Before Buying a 2023 BRABUS Shadow 500 T-Top

Before making an offer, inspect the engine hours report and ceramic coating warranty. The survey should cover the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, propellers, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, electrical equipment, plumbing, and bilge systems. The T-Top structure, protected helm, sun lounge, deck hardware, and railings should also be tested.
 

The twin 250 HP Mercury PRO XS outboards should be inspected individually, including the 70 hours, service records, diagnostic reports, cooling systems, and propellers. Buyers should also test navigation electronics, VHF radio, pumps, and other onboard systems.
