SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Jan. 20, 2025
Nimbus has taken a bold step into the explorer segment, introducing the 495 Flybridge, a vessel designed for epic adventures and long-distance exploration. This new addition sets a new standard for Nordic coupé boats, making them relevant on the international market, especially in the Mediterranean, the USA, and the Nordic regions.
A Legacy of Adventure The coupé boat holds a special place in Nimbus' history. For over 40 years, their coupé models have been the gateway to the archipelago, coastal voyages, and adventures for countless boaters. Recognizing the evolving travel patterns and holiday habits, Nimbus has developed the 495 Flybridge to cater to the growing need for a personal haven with comfort and security. This boat concept is rooted in deep traditions and insights, addressing the present and future needs of boaters.
Embarking on a Grand Journey With a well-established global customer base, Nimbus aims to serve this growing market as boat sizes increase across segments. Jonas Göthberg, Commercial Director at Nimbus Group AB, emphasizes the 495's primary objective as a vessel of discovery, a "voyager." The tank capacity is designed for extended voyages, allowing extended stays in natural harbors without worrying about electricity, fresh water, or waste disposal. Prioritizing low-energy solutions, the Nimbus 495 Flybridge enables you to explore anywhere and live comfortably on board for weeks, whether embarking on a grand adventure or enjoying a holiday in your own archipelago.
Enhanced Freedom and Comfort The Nimbus 495 Flybridge caters to the increasing demand for privacy and nature experiences among younger customers. With its larger coupé boats, Nimbus has facilitated long-distance travel, with customers venturing from northern Norway to the Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean coast, the USA, and even Alaska. Many customers embark on extended journeys through canal systems or across vast distances. This trend highlights the growing importance of individuality, physical activity, and nature experiences.
To accommodate larger groups and longer trips, Nimbus has entered the explorer segment. The 495 Flybridge offers social areas for socializing and relaxation, providing a sense of freedom and security only a vessel of this size can offer.
A Fully Equipped Expedition Vessel For a stress-free and independent journey, the 495 Flybridge provides extra space for conveniences like a washing machine, dishwasher, and generator. This makes it a fully equipped expedition vessel. The deck layout is designed for safe and easy travel in various conditions, with easy movement between boat and shore, foredeck and aft deck, and cabin and bathing platform.
A social salon serves as the heart of the boat, where socializing, dining, and relaxation take place. Large glass windows ensure a clear and undisturbed view for everyone on board. The seamless connection between the saloon, the spacious aft deck, and the functional bathing platform enhances the overall experience.
Focus on Function Nimbus aims to expand the coupé concept while building on the legacy of previous models. The salon, as the heart of the coupé boat, houses the driver's place, dining area, social lounge, and kitchen. Joacim Gustavsson, Chief Designer at Nimbus Group AB, emphasizes the importance of the salon as the living space on board.
Conclusion The Nimbus 495 Flybridge represents a new era of exploration, offering a haven for long-distance adventures and personalized experiences. With its focus on comfort, safety, and functionality, this vessel is designed to cater to the needs of discerning boaters seeking a blend of adventure and luxury.
