New on the 12 Series
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
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.
When something is loved, you don't replace it. You refine it. Every change in the 12 Series traces back to how our owners actually use their boats. You might not notice every change at first glance, but you feel them as soon as you step on board, that sense of ease, of everything being exactly where it should be.

Who is the 12 series 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.”
Each model serves its purpose with precision. The Commuter 12 excels as a year-round vessel for long-distance transport, easily transforming from closed to open configuration. The Weekender 12 extends weekend possibilities with enhanced social areas and increased storage for gear and water toys. The Tender 12 remains the versatile walk-around for those who appreciate meticulous design and unlimited possibilities.
All three models provide exceptional freedom of movement and spacious layouts with flexible seating arrangements that have become signatures of the series.
Enhanced social spaces
The W12 features the new Targa version with canopy in the style of the iconic Nimbus 32 Ballista, bringing heritage design into modern functionality. The starboard side balcony creates openness and flow for relaxation and entertaining.
The most comprehensive evolution
The T12 receives the most extensive updates. The new T-top is both wider and longer, providing enhanced shading and giving the T12 a completely new profile. With integrated solar panels and acrylic see-through sections with sunblock, it combines functionality with modern aesthetics. The T12 now features a side balcony on starboard side, extending the social space when at anchor. For the first time, the T12 can be fitted with dual Mercury V10 425hp engines, delivering exceptional performance for those who demand more power.
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.

Our DNA
New and evolved
Nimbus boats has a boat building legacy that stretches over 50 years. We have been building premium boats through the decades and like every brand we needed to evolve and keep up with the changes of time. To celebrate our 50th anniversary we have developed a completely new series that contains the-best-of-the-best and represent all of our experience and heritage. Each model with a specific purpose and target audience. Listen to Jonas introduction to the Nimbus 9 series.
The new W9 is a reinterpretation of the classic Nimbus day cruiser intended for those with an active lifestyle. The W9 is a high-speed day cruiser and weekend boat for social activities, offering overnight accommodation for 4 people.
Functional design for social activities.
The cockpit provides protection for everyone on board with its large window screen. The interior layout and furniture arrangement is specially designed for social activities and entertaining in a variety of situations. One significant asset of the W9 is the unusual ease with which it can change use, for example when it’s time to take a dip after a meal on board.
Fast and seaworthy
The Nimbus development team has purposely made every effort to maintain a low centre of gravity and to obtain a beneficial length to width ratio that causes the boat to take a certain wavelength and cover the ocean safely. The new hull makes the W9 fast, with a maximum speed of +40 knots.
Our vision of the perfect day boat that offers great opportunities for individual adaption and is intended for all types of day-to-day activities, such as transportation, water sports and leisure activities.
Versatile wherever you are
The T9 is something of a chameleon and can adapt to most situations, for example transportation to and from a holiday home for most of the year, as a tender for a larger boat, for a variety of water sports, fishing, overnight accommodation or onboard social activities with friends and family. The advantage to the fact that at the design stage we were already considering the need for versatility with many areas of use, is that there are a great many options available when equipping the boat, depending on its intended purpose.
The C9 is a purpose-built, rapid commuter vessel, designed to equally meet the needs of year-round commuters, active day-trippers or those planning longer, staged journeys with overnight stays.
Stay comfortable all year
The C9 is a boat for people who use their boats to get around on a daily basis, who travel in typical Nordic weather throughout the year. Unlike other boats in the commuter category, the C9 offers excellent overnight facilities, with room for three adults and two children thanks to its spacious fore cabin and convertible salon.
Freedom of movement
The C9 is designed to make daily life onboard as easy as possible, irrespective of whether you are travelling alone or with passengers. We have prioritised freedom of movement over interior volume in order to make it as easy as possible to load, board, move around and disembark the vessel.
