Having watched endless videos of boats coming in an out of Haulover Inlet in Miami, that part of the world just worships boats like this - centre-console party boats with big outboards (and plenty of them). They are an enormously popular style of boat and perfect for places where it's warm/hot and sunny and the Nimbus T11 will fit in perfectly there. Personally, I don't understand the appeal as they are such narrow-focus 'good time' boats so I find it hard to take them seriously. Still, this is an excellent example of the style and I'm sure it will sell will in the right market as its a classy package.

These types of boats are a kings ransom. $250-$300K Unless you're doing charter fishing etc more than %99 of the world cannot afford these and less so now that the entire world economy has flatlined.

For that money, I'd run screaming any other direction ...

Looks more like something that would be more suited as a boat that would reside in the hull of a Large Yacht . As for everyday use especially here in the UK!!. You would have to have serious balls .. to endure the crap cold weather that is the norm for the UK .. and the open stern why !! .

I noticed that that the sun bathing pads on the bow .. isn't well secured if the wind was any stronger it would be ripped off and also noticed seating had water spray on it ..

Why ruin the demo with by adding music ????? Care to explain that please

Mark Jennings - 4 years ago

Very small interior for such a long boat!. Rest is Ok in warm location but too exposed up top
for UK type weather.

Godfrey Schembri - 4 years ago

Beautiful boat and very nice layout inside out but next model needs to be like 40 cm deck raised up so you get more headroom a specially the aft cabin .

Been waiting for this, my problem with this boat is the rear seating, it’s trying to hard to do too many things, I would prefer a big full width u seating area, how many times do you really want to take 9 people out on a day boat, yep that’s right none

Robbie Surfer - 4 years ago

GötetSWE yep did have a Aquador 26 and it was so much boat for its size for when I lived in Jersey, but also a med dayboat

GötetSWE - 4 years ago

Nimbus is Swedish. In Sweden (and Norway/Finland) it's very common to take loads of people out over the day since you don't actually stay on the boat. You'd moor bow first on any of the tens of thousands of small islands like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yuz-HIUIIw
That said I can absolutely see the T-top version do well as a dayboat in the Med or Florida if you just don't fill upp all 9 seats. Or as a tender to larger yachts.

Thank you for the review of this boat. I have been collecting and comparing reviews on this boat because I am looking at from a business point of view.

Jim O'Callaghan - 4 years ago

I absolutely appreciate how well-done this is showing the features of the boat, etc., but music over the sea trial is a little disappointing...Guess more info will be in the magazine article? One thing I noticed at the end...Everything looked soaked on the boat at the end of the sea trial and the waterway didn't look all that choppy of a day, including running through the camera boat's wake. Not sure if passengers would appreciate so much salt spray. Of course, the wind may have been howling that day as a crosswind, I'm guessing. I've never been on a Nimbus, but it looks like it might be a bit of a wet boat while running. Maybe not...Maybe I just don't understand European boat design as well. :)
Nonetheless, its still well done for an overview.

How I wish I had knuckled down in high school.

Decent review as usual. Just a shame you feel you are so "entitled" to completely ignore the English current lockdown during these extraordinary times.

jay90374 - 4 years ago

Rob Brown - what is a shame is entitled little shrews, like you, that think they have a right to police others actions, when you clearly have no clue of what you speak!

Steve Sherman - 4 years ago

It's just a shame people feel the need to overact and completely give up all freedom over a very mild flu that has killed less people than a standard flu season. I never thought I would live to see the day the sheep become so complacent as to allow the wolves to make the rules.

As we said in the description, this was filmed prior to lockdown. All our boat tests are on hold for now, we will be following the government guidance on social distancing.

A not very subtle rip off of the Axopar! I'd choose the Axopar 37 XC over this every time. Much better value. A T-top boat of this size in British waters would be a brave choice.

GötetSWE - 4 years ago

Thats like comparing apples and oranges... The Nimbus C11 would be the closest Nimbus equivalent to the 37 XC. Totally agree that Axopars offers fantastic value. (I have a 28AC myself) But the fit and finishes on any Nimbus is a step up from Axopar (or from most boats the same size) and the extra length and higher freeboards in this case will make a difference in rough seas.

Fmart Mart - 4 years ago

I mean it's a beautifully engineered boat, I'm not sure I understand the appeal though. Dayboat with fishing capabilities? What is the mission for this boat?

colintraveller - 4 years ago

It does look it has potential for being a fishing boat .. but for 350,000 NAHHHH You would want the helm to be better secured from the elements as it is it's far too open

malmotu motu - 4 years ago

Nice lay out boat but I still think the hull of the Axopar is a more soft ride on a choppy sea than this Nimbus

mor7im3r - 4 years ago

Thank you for mentioning the price.
Beats having to snoop around the net for an approximate one.

A little too dayboaty for me for the size.

The second sleeping quarters is like a dungeon.
I would use it for storage only, way to claustrofobic.
.
Apart from that, nice boat, very complete but not fair to compare it to the Axopar (closed cabin).
The Axopar is, I think, more stylish, sleeker and faster too.

Nimbus is a premium, stylish brand. Axopar 'cheap' brand

I hope the ceiling is made of a soft material, I would bump my head every morning in that space.

If I woke up happy with my impressive morning wood I would get wedged into that second bunk.

@Why have you subscribed? what could go wrong? Isnt the bed mirror for children?

Why have you subscribed? - 4 years ago

So you’d have the kids share the v berth with you and the wife?

Marcel Wolf - 4 years ago

I like the Axopar and its concept. This must be a lot heavier and more expensive.

gopher1471 - 4 years ago

I would have preferred to hear the boat and engine not lift music. The interior was very good, loved the separate heads. Handling, having driven the Axopar more than once or twice, I think it has the edge on handling and is a £150 k cheaper dependent on fit out. As the saying goes , you pay's your money and take's your choice. Very nice and a lot cheaper than pursuits, scouts and whalers.
