The new Nimbus 495 Coup\u00e9<\/strong> represents the purest evolution of the Swedish brand’s DNA. A boat designed for life on board<\/strong>, intended for owners who enjoy extended navigation, seek real autonomy, and value comfort, protection, and functionality above fleeting trends. <\/p>\n

Built on the acclaimed Nimbus 495 platform, this Coup\u00e9 version returns to the essence that has defined Nimbus since 1968<\/a>: enclosed, safe, and efficient boats<\/strong>, prepared to navigate in real conditions and accompany the owner for weeks, not just during occasional getaways.<\/p>\n

The Nimbus 495 Coup\u00e9 will be officially presented at Boot D\u00fcsseldorf 2026<\/strong>, with the first deliveries scheduled for 2027.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The type of boat most faithful to the Nimbus heritage<\/strong><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

The Coup\u00e9 concept has always been the heart of Nimbus. From the first models to the current 305, 365, and 405 Coup\u00e9, this type of boat has marked a very specific way of understanding navigation: sheltered when the climate demands it and open when the environment allows it<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The Nimbus 495 Coup\u00e9<\/strong> is the largest and most mature expression of this philosophy. In fact, the project was originally born as a Coup\u00e9, with the Flybridge being a later adaptation for other markets. In this model, Nimbus returns to the essentials, offering a boat that prioritizes interior experience, efficiency, and ease of use.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Designed for long stays and year-round navigation<\/strong><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

The profile of a Nimbus 495 Coup\u00e9 owner is clear: boaters who measure their trips in weeks, not weekends. People who want a boat that works just as well in the middle of summer as in autumn or winter, and who value interior comfort, protection from the elements, and self-sufficiency<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Eliminating the flybridge is not a renunciation, but a conscious decision. It means less maintenance, less exposure to wind and sun, and a more intimate, serene sailing experience deeply connected to the sea.<\/p>\n<\/div>

More natural light and an even more habitable saloon<\/strong><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

One of the most visible changes of the Nimbus 495 Coup\u00e9 is its large panoramic glass roof<\/strong>. By dispensing with the flybridge structure, the saloon receives an exceptional amount of natural light, reinforcing the feeling of spaciousness and continuity between interior and exterior. <\/p>\n

To manage this luminosity in warm climates, Nimbus introduces an exterior electric awning over the glass<\/strong>, which unfolds with the touch of a button. This solution allows the saloon to be kept shaded without sacrificing natural ventilation, achieving a perfect balance between comfort and openness. <\/p>\n

For those looking for a warmer and more traditional atmosphere, the Nimbus 495 Coup\u00e9 offers an optional mahogany interior<\/strong>, combined with oak floors and carefully coordinated upholstery. A nod to the brand’s historic Coup\u00e9s, reinterpreted with a contemporary focus on comfort, ergonomics, and perceived quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Prepared for canals, rivers and long journeys<\/strong><\/h2><\/h3><\/div>

Thanks to its electrically folding mast<\/strong>, the Nimbus 495 Coup\u00e9 offers a total height of less than 3.5 meters<\/strong>, allowing access to European canals, inland waterway networks and emblematic routes such as The Great Loop<\/em> in North America.<\/p>\n

Optionally, it can be equipped with a short bathing platform<\/strong>, reducing the overall length to below 14 meters, an important advantage for moorings and port regulations.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Nimbus 495 Coup\u00e9 or 495 Flybridge, two ways of understanding navigation<\/strong><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

Although they share the hull, engine and engineering, the Nimbus 495 Coup\u00e9 and the 495 Flybridge<\/a> respond to clearly different boater profiles.<\/p>\n

The 495 Flybridge is oriented towards those who prioritize elevated outdoor spaces and a more open and social experience.
\n The 495 Coup\u00e9, on the other hand, focuses on protection, efficiency and interior life, with less maintenance, greater autonomy and a more direct relationship with navigation throughout the year.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Coup\u00e9 version offers key advantages such as:<\/p>\n
