    Nimbus 405 Coupé 2021.

    A fantastic example of the flagship of the Nimbus models to date. Professionally maintained and a great saving on a new order.The boat has many similarities to her smaller sisters but offers several new features; Nimbus Design Team has added several interesting aesthetic and functionally integrated details. These include twin touch screens at the helm, room for five to ride facing front, a new D-pillar with integrated ventilation, fully glazed aft deck door, electric powered table on the aft deck and a “granny hatch” that conceals a main power plug on the stern. Other innovations include newly designed engine room ventilation in the hull sides with powered extractors, galley with ceramic gas hob and dark composite worktop, 120 litre capacity fridge plus extra cool storage in pull-out drawers beneath the salon sofa and much more.“We would never build a boat that is not considered practical in her natural element. Although we always try to make her as beautiful as possible, it is a balancing act. It is always easier to design beautiful lines if you don’t need to take functionality into account. Our customers are very conscious, and they appreciate our designs because they understand that we build crafts that are actually used at sea and not only look good in pictures or at boat shows. That is the secret of our success,” said Joacim Gustavsson, head designer at Nimbus Boats Sweden AB.

    “Sidewalk” is an asymmetrical deck layout where the side deck along the starboard side is extra wide and provides generous freedom of movement. It becomes convenient and enjoyable to move about on-board from bow to stern, and easy to get on and off the boat along the entire starboard side.

    Maximum use is made of the interior volume, allowing the cockpit, salon, lower deck and cabin to be larger than would otherwise be the case in a boat of this size. An important feature of the Nimbus sidewalk concept is the large flush fitted sliding door to starboard. The sliding door provides quick access when laying alongside and enables the captain to maneuver the boat from a standing position on the side deck. The sidewalk concept also allows the use of the aft deck for various activities. And on the foredeck the extra space is used to integrate a large sun deck as a natural feature of the boat’s design.“We focus on the conscious customer with experience of the sea who requires a large portion of comfort and safety. What is interesting about our coupé concept is that it has such a “well-rounded” quality, where socializing and other on-board activities can be combined with excellent long cruising characteristics. Our coupé boats in particular have enabled us to reach out to both new and younger customers internationally. It has become apparent that our coupé boats are not just for the older generation who prioritize functionality and comfort, but also for families and for younger people who want both fun and to voyage securely and safely,” said Jonas Göthberg, commercial brand manager for Nimbus.All laminate in the boat is vacuum injected at the Nimbus boatyards in Mariestad, Sweden. Everything from hull, deck, superstructure, interior laminated surfaces and hatches. “Divinycell” is used in the sandwich laminate, providing excellent insulation properties from both heat and cold and transports condensation away very efficiently. “Innerliner” and “headliner” are built entirely of fiberglass. The result is easy-to-clean, smooth surfaces in the stowage lockers, stowage areas, sides and ceiling. The vacuum injection method, in combination with high quality material and multilayer woven fiberglass matting, result in a hull and laminate that is insulated, strong and light.

    The drive shaft with tunnel system is a well proven technology and has several advantages. The straighter shaft angle makes for a more efficient power line and thereby lower fuel consumption and more speed. Better course stability at low speeds and shallower draught.

    “Boat Trim System” is standard and functions like trim tabs but with higher efficiency, speed and is automatic. An upgrade to Humphree Interceptor System is also available.

    Automatic mechanical ventilation in the engine room reduces the temperature and extends the life length of the engines and provides the best conditions for problem-free boat ownership.

    There is also generously sized, strongly constructed aft stowage which is aluminum lined and fitted behind the engines.

    In all, the 405 Coupe is a modern, solid and functional boat perfect for an uncomplicated and enjoyable life at sea, all with minimal environmental impact. The 405 is built in Sweden at the Nimbus yard in Mariestad.

  3. Used Paragon 31 Flybridge For Sale 2010 ‘SOLD’

    Comments Off on Used Paragon 31 Flybridge For Sale 2010 ‘SOLD’

    Owners comments :-

    DRAGONFLY OF BEMBRIDGE

    “Probably the best equipped Paragon 31 in the UK”

    “Dragonfly of Bembridge” is a standard Paragon 31 Flybridge model built in 2010, the actual vessel which was tested by Motorboat & Yachting; Motorboat Monthly; and Powerboat & RIB magazines.  This vessel was voted Boat-of-the Year in 2010 for its dynamics, innovations and build quality.  It has been in one ownership having been acquired from the importers, Offshore Powerboats of Lymington, as an upgrade from the owner’s Paragon 25.

     It has been thoughtfully modified and improved over the last decade for local trips and longer-distance cruising – destinations including the Western Isles in June 2013 which became the subject of a 5-page article in Motorboat & Yachting magazine. Since then, annual cruising to North & South Brittany, Ireland, Normandy, up the R. Seine to Paris, the East Coast, and the West Country have overlaid regular seasonal use in the Solent and Channel.

    Dragonfly is stored ashore from October/November to Easter every year, and has been maintained in a fastidious manner by qualified, factory-trained marine and electrical engineers in Cowes. The owner writes:-

    “Paragon 31s were fundamentally designed as the fast Scandinavian offshore rescue vessel, with a sea-worthy hull capable of maintaining high speeds in rough conditions – where crew and equipment are well-protected.  Classed alongside the classic Nelson hull, the Paragon 31 has equal capabilities in marginal sea conditions but with the added benefit of greater speed and stability.”

  9. Used Nimbus 305 Coupe For Sale 2020 ‘SOLD’

    Comments Off on Used Nimbus 305 Coupe For Sale 2020 ‘SOLD’

    Used Nimbus 305 Coupe for sale 2020 fitted with a Volvo Penta D3-220HP Engine.

    Sturdy, smart functionality in an attractive design and with elegant lines for families, bons vivants and inveterate seafarers. Apart from a number of improvements and smart functional solutions, it’s below deck that the greatest innovation is to be found.

    Based on the same Scandinavian design philosophy as her popular and award-winning sisters 405 and 365 Coupé, the 305 Coupé marks a new entry into Nimbus’ popular Coupé series featuring the “sidewalk” concept.

    “Sidewalk” is an asymmetrical deck layout where the side deck along the starboard side is extra wide and provides safe and generous freedom of movement. It becomes convenient and enjoyable to move about on-board from bow to stern, and easy to get on and off the boat along the entire starboard side. Maximum use is made of the interior volume, allowing the cockpit, saloon, lower deck and cabin to be larger than would otherwise be the case in a boat of this size. An important feature of the Nimbus sidewalk design concept is the large flush fitted sliding door to starboard. The sliding door provides quick access when docking alongside and enables manoeuvring the boat from a standing position on the side deck.

    The helm has been maximised to provide the greatest possible flexibility and can be equipped with accessories according to individual requirements. Glued windows with a large, curved windscreen provide a great panoramic view. The saloon features large flat surfaces and is both light, airy and cosy, thanks to the choice of materials and LED-lighting. The large glass roof and roof hatches provides generous light. A dinette solution provides plenty of room for four people and converts easily into a double berth. The dining table folds down into a cocktail table with glass holders, making the saloon a handy place for socialising. The galley is equipped with ceramic gas heated glass hob with integrated ventilation, Corian top and a 65-litre refrigerator.

    The aft deck shares the same level as the bathing platform and saloon. It has a generously sized, comfortable L-shaped sofa for five persons with foldable seating. The dining table folds down into a cocktail table with glass holders with stainless steel handles. Perfect for relaxing or social activities with friends and family.

    The interior of the boat is of wonderful quality and atmosphere, particularly in regard to space and light. The boat has integrated ventilation and five large opening port lights for extra light intake. Upholstered bulkheads in light colours help to reduce noise. The boat has two cabins, an owner’s cabin and a guest cabin, sharing a common head with shower. In all, the 305 Coupé is a contemporary, super-functional boat with reduced environmental impact and which is perfect for an uncomplicated and enjoyable life at sea. The boat is built in Sweden at the Nimbus yard in Mariestad.

    Available in Guernsey for viewings by appointment only.
