Nimbus has introduced yet another masterpiece, the Nimbus 495 Coupé. Unlike its flybridge counterparts, this vessel is designed specifically for extended liveaboard cruising, offering comfort, practicality, and understated elegance. It presents as a viable solution for those planning to explore Europe and America’s Great Loop inland waterways.
The Nimbus 495 Coupé is built with a larger sunroof and exterior awning system. This structure affords the luxury of shading the saloon while maintaining ventilation. Furthermore, the removal of the flybridge staircase has cleared the way for a more spacious galley, accommodating two workers and offering additional storage space. Another new addition is the aft locker where wet gear can be stored safely, keeping the interior dry and tidy.
