Nimbus Sport Tender 42 (2026-)

2 x 300-hp Mercury Verado V8



Brief Summary

Hailing from a long-standing Swedish maritime heritage famous for practical craftsmanship and rough-water capability, the shipyard constructs vessels focused on security, durability, and user convenience. This sport tender edition is crafted specifically as an all-around utility and leisure craft—ideal for fast commuting between ports, towing watersports equipment, island exploration, or hosting friends for day-long sea outings. Its specialized stepped hull provides swift acceleration, efficient fuel usage, and exceptional handling across choppy seas.


The perimeter features continuous sunken thoroughfares, guaranteeing safe, unhindered foot traffic across the entire main deck. Below decks, the surprisingly room accommodation suite includes a cozy main sleeping quarters up front, an auxiliary mid-hull berth, and a tidy private head with a integrated shower. Owners can tailor their vessel with optional high-powered triple outboard configurations, T-top solar panels, heavy-duty towing pylons, expanded refrigeration units, and custom marine flooring suited for heavy activity.

KEY FEATURES:

  • 360-Degree Deck Access: Wide, recessed side corridors allow secure, unobstructed passage from stem to stern during docking or active sports.
  • Overnight Capabilities: Lower-deck quarters accommodate four adults across a forward master bed and a mid-ship secondary sleeping berth.
  • Modular Activity Zones: Reconfigurable seating converts rapidly between forward-facing travel chairs, dining setups, and sun lounge beds.
  • High-Performance Hull: Air-lubricated hull geometry reduces drag to deliver smooth tracking, efficient cruising, and quick planing.
