What's new?

Striking new exterior design
The extended swim platform with double mould construction offers structural integration with the hull and closer connection to the water. New stainless steel railing combined with new hull decor features the Nimbus logo in new chromed, giving all models a more distinctive appearance.

 

New helm seats with ergonomic design
Completely reimagined helm seats in custom Nimbus design deliver exceptional comfort for extended time at the helm. Enhanced ergonomics and lateral support mean less fatigue on longer passages.

Refinements across all models

Beyond the visible changes, extended swim platform, new helm seats, striking exterior design with stainless steel décor. The entire 12 Series incorporates improvements to ventilation, lighting, sound routing, and serviceability.

The new Mercury Joystick Piloting facilitates intuitive system monitoring, with joystick control and integrated bow thruster available across the range with Mercury outboards. Volvo Penta inboards are available on both Commuter 12 and Tender 12, with optional assisted docking package with joystick control. Both systems make close-quarter maneuvering effortless and safe.

 

The optional hydraulic swim platform for outboard engines brings guests closer to the water and serves as a passerelle when moored. New windscreen wiper systems and updated illumination enhance visibility and ambiance across all models. New aft deck seating arrangement with side cushions creates additional seating possibilities on the aft sides of the deck, transforming storage areas into comfortable social spaces.

More of what our customers already love

The 12 Series builds on the award-winning design introduced with the 11 Series, maintaining the low planning threshold and exceptional seaworthy performance. The air-lubricated twin-stepped hull delivers handling you can trust at 45+ knots speed while running dry and stable in real conditions.

Nimbus C12 is a significant step up from the C11, offering more space, more functionality, a more premium feel, and a level of overall quality you can sense immediately. This is the boat for those who want the very best of the Nimbus 12-series, and a cabin boat that delivers just as much comfort at speed as it does when moored.

Refined day-boat functionality

The C12's re-designed aft deck offers more usable space with a folding back rest on the aft sofa. The deck salon with galley-up configuration and curtains enhances all-weather capability for year-round use.

The model features a completely new deck saloon with a galley, a convertible saloon sofa, and curtains for a more comfortable, inviting atmosphere. The aft deck has been redesigned with a larger usable area, plus a practical foldable backrest on the aft sofa that makes the space even more versatile. Beyond the visible upgrades, Nimbus has also refined the details that matter on the water: improved cabin ventilation, more effective sound insulation, optimized serviceability, and an upgraded lighting environment both inside and out.
Our owners told us what they loved most. The 12 Series delivers more of exactly that. These aren't changes for the sake of change. They're refinements that serve ease of use, social connection and time together on the water."

Jonas Göthberg

Commercial Director at Nimbus Boats

Who is the C12 for?

The 12 Series is designed for experienced boaters who value Scandinavian design, time together, and reliable quality. Whether it's a weekend with family, a day out with friends, extended cruising with those who matter most, or quiet moments at anchor,  the 12 Series serves those who appreciate thoughtful design and the freedom to enjoy the water on their own terms.

“Whether the boat is used on the Norwegian West Coast, around the Mediterranean, or on the North American east coast, owners value protected comfort, reliable performance, and thoughtful functional Scandinavian design,” says Jonas Göthberg, Commercial Director at Nimbus Boats. “The 12 Series delivers exactly that.”

 

The Commuter 12 excels as a year-round vessel for long-distance transport, easily transforming from closed to open configuration. The Commuter offers exceptional freedom of movement and spacious layouts with flexible seating arrangements that have become signatures of the series. The Nimbus C12 is made for you who want a confident, quiet, and comfortable cabin boat that works in real life. For commuting, day trips, and longer weekends, it balances protected comfort with open social spaces, smart storage, and premium finish. If you liked the C11 concept but want more refinement, more flexibility, and a more upgraded feel throughout, the C12 is built for you.

Nimbus User Interface

This new Nimbus UI will give the user an easier understanding and monitoring of different data/values that are relevant for the boat. The UI is consciously stripped down and developed for user-friendliness. You will get all the info that you need in a few different predefined screens in your MFD. This is yet another step for Nimbus, always developing user-friendly and intuitive solutions for the conscious boat owner.

The Startpage is the first screen shown when the MFD is started, giving a clean Nimbus welcome before entering the predefined Nimbus UI pages. It sets the tone and provides a smooth start into the system
The Nimbus homepage is a welcome page with useful values and data, giving a quick overview from the helm seat of the boat’s status plus some stereo functionality.
The Driving page shows a relaxed and stripped down view of key engine data and installed systems like interceptors and depth sensors. You will have an easy overview of your speed, RPM and consumption, and you can also run the Driving page in split screen for an intuitive view of charts and driving data at the same time
In split screen, you can pair charts with the Driving page, giving the helmsman an intuitive way to see the charts and driving data at the same time.
The Tank page shows a more detailed view of the tanks installed, so from the helm seat you can quickly see if it’s time to go to the closest harbor.
The Power page gives an easy, intuitive status of the batteries, shore power connection, charger activity, and current draw in amps. If the option is installed, set the input current limit.
