The Swedish shipyard Nimbus builds all-weather yachts designed for the harsh conditions of Scandinavian waters. But the deck saloon yachts have also earned an excellent reputation among bluewater cruisers – good sailing performance, a high level of living comfort and meticulous, perfectly executed finishing really do pay off. On the Boat24 used boat market, too.

With Nimbus boats, functionality is at the heart of the design. Form, function and materials all serve a clearly defined purpose. The boat's proportions, the materials, the functionality and the seaworthiness are harmonious and balanced at Nimbus – Scandinavian through and through.
The Swedish yard is one of those boatbuilders that make no compromises when building their vessels. Nimbus sport boats and cabin yachts are accordingly robust and therefore long-lasting. They were designed for the demands of the rough waters of the north and have always enjoyed a good reputation as safe all-weather yachts. Torsionally rigid hull shells, plenty of wood in the interior and efficient engine packages reflect the character of these typical northern yachts. The coupé and commuter models are also popular in more southerly waters, winning people over with a spacious, covered deck saloon and cleverly arranged, typical cruising details.
Clever: the "Smart Speed"
Because typical Nimbus yachts are not necessarily built for the high-speed sector, the yard has developed an interesting hull shape called "Smart Speed", also with a view to conserving resources. Smart Speed is designed for comfortable outings at speeds between 4 and 20 knots. At these speeds, most boats produce large stern waves and consume relatively large amounts of fuel, and therefore emit a lot of emissions. With "Smart Speed", Nimbus has developed a hull that runs comfortably and, above all, in an environmentally friendly way across the entire speed range. In practice, the hull has no planing threshold and offers comparatively low fuel consumption at all speeds.
Producing with environmental awareness
With the E-Power concept (Environmental Power), Nimbus was one of the first Scandinavian yards to get an environmentally friendly construction concept "under way", covering the entire boatbuilding process from production technology to climate-friendly materials.
Scandinavian design under one roof
With a diversified brand portfolio, the Nimbus Group offers end customers a wide range of leisure powerboats from a single supplier via its dealer network. All the brands within the group share the goal of promoting top Scandinavian design and the highest boatbuilding quality worldwide.
