Taking full advantage of its length, the Nimbus offers a beautiful living space, both inside and out.
In addition to the double sunbed on the foredeck, this Swedish boat features a large and modular cockpit that encourages conviviality.
Consisting of a large L-shaped bench seat, the cockpit can easily accommodate nine to ten people. A table in the middle can be folded or unfolded as required. The aft section is also modular, which means that by moving the backrest, you can quickly benefit from a large sunbathing area, the second largest on the boat.
An Interior designed by an interior architect
The L-shaped seat also conceals large storage compartments, with storage space on either side of the aft cockpit for fenders and a large locker under the cockpit. All in all, this boat offers an impressive 2,500 liters (660 Gal) of storage space.
It's a pity, however, that the control knob for the electric opening of the aft locker is positioned too high up, making it impractical to use.
Well sheltered by a high windshield, the cockpit continues forward with a rather unusual L-shaped seat for the co-pilot. On starboard, a galley houses a sink, hob, fridge and storage space.
The helm station is also on the starboard side. Like the rest of the boat, this is a very understated cockpit, but it includes everything you need. There are two large, well-integrated displays, well-positioned switches and two storage compartments. The steering wheel is of course adjustable, and the dashboard is protected from the sun by a cap.
Designed by long-time interior designer Joacim Gustavsson, the Nimbus is a perfect reflection of Scandinavian style, and even more so when it comes to the sleeping area. Access to this cabin is via a beautiful staircase, which leads to a rather voluminous space. The numerous portholes and deck hatches, together with the use of light wood, bring lots of light inside.
Similarly, the curves of the port furniture and starboard wall add a touch of modernism, while the generous headroom increases the impression of space. The interior features a large double berth forward, which can be curtained off. Just beside the staircase, a door opens onto the aft cabin. This space offers a double berth and a higher changing area with even a small seat.
Smart options
Finally, the central door opens onto a full head with sink, toilet and separate shower. In fact, the toilet is located in the shower and acts as a seat, a concept which you may or may not like, but which allows you to have everything you need, which is not bad for a weekender.
A few storage compartments complete the sleeping area, making it possible to spend a few nights on board in comfort.
The manufacturing quality is really very good, from the fiberglass (thanks to vacuum infusion) to the woodwork, which was all done at the shipyard. The finish is equally meticulous, from the door handles, water drain grilles and fittings to the trunk covers with gaskets and jacks.
