About Nimbus Boats

Premium production

Swedish builder established in Gothenburg in 1968 — Scandinavian-design motorboats from the 8-metre Commuter and Tender to the 15-metre 495 Flybridge, in the Commuter, Tender, Weekender, Sport, Coupé, Drophead and Flybridge lines — the founding brand of the Nimbus Group.

Nimbus was established at Gothenburg in 1968, and it began with five Nimbus 26s built by a team with no idea they were starting what would become Scandinavia's leading boatbuilder. The Nimbus 800 Turbo of the 1980s was the boat Björn Borg chose, and the joint campaign went well enough that he signed a tennis racket in thanks -- framed at the yard to this day. From 1984, Norwegian owners collected their boats at the head office in Långedrag and sailed home in convoy, 475 nautical miles to Bergen over three days; the tradition lasted fifteen years. In 1996 members of Sweden's royal yacht clubs clubbed together to give the King a Nimbus 19 Nova with a 115-horsepower Evinrude for his fiftieth birthday, and in 1998 Nuccio Bertone's interest produced a limited edition of the Nimbus 26 DC, the 26 DC Epoca, still among the most sought-after boats the yard has made. What it builds is for the boater who values smart function, comfort, safety and Scandinavian design, on a quick run out, a sociable weekend or a long passage abroad.
