For decades Nimbus Boats has been known for its Coupé cruisers – motor yachts in a “hygge” Scandinavian style as evidenced by the constantly updated Nimbus 305 Coupé models and the legendary long-distance travelling boat Nimbus 365 Coupé. Like the Nimbus 405 Flybridge with extraordinary space and her clever access solution to the upper deck, these models will be on show at boot 2023.

The newly developed Leopard 46 Powercat is now launching as a smaller but completely independent model by the South African shipyard.

The generous outside areas so typical of Leopard are towered by the biggest flybridge available on a 40-foot catamaran. Technology of the highest order: by using the latest computer technology both the performance and stability have been improved in comparison with her predecessors.

Living on board is a luxurious pleasure even on long cruises thanks to the roomy kitchen, lavish interior and airy cabins. Low-noise engines bring the Leopard 40 Powercat up to 17 knots travelling speed and a top speed of over 20 knots.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 19, 2023 – Space requirements on board are rising and the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1295 Fly keeps pace with this need. The biggest model in the series clearly outdoes her sisters but not only in terms of LOA. Like all boats in this line, the MF 1295 Fly is also geared towards families who want to spend several days on the water.

Raised sides crowned by sturdy side rails ensure safety. Even the outdoor helm stand, accessible by a ladder, features solid fencing. At 11.92 m in length the hull is almost two metres longer than that of the next smaller boat, the Merry Fisher 1095 Fly.

With a 3.80 m beam, the 12-m boat provides plenty of space for a roomy salon which is directly connected with the aft deck via a sliding door. The highlight is a starboard balcony terrace that can be lowered to serve as a springboard into the sea or as a sunbed or secluded reading corner. It measures about two square metres.
