Nimbus 495 Coupé

Nimbus Boats has announced the Nimbus 495 Coupé, a new flagship designed for extended, owner-operated cruising. Built on the established and award-winning 495 platform, the Coupé marks a return to Nimbus’s enclosed cruising heritage, prioritising protection, comfort and practicality for real coastal conditions. 

The Nimbus 495 Coupé will be presented digitally at boot Düsseldorf 2026, with customer deliveries scheduled to begin in 2027. 

A natural evolution of the Coupé line

The Coupé range has been central to Nimbus since 1968, shaping how Scandinavian boaters experience life on the water. From the 320 Coupé through to the 405 Coupé, these models have balanced shelter with openness. The 495 Coupé represents the largest and most developed expression of that philosophy to date.

Designed for extended life aboard

By removing the flybridge, the Coupé gains interior and functional advantages that suit long-term cruising. A larger glass sunroof increases natural light in the saloon, while a new electric exterior awning system provides shade without compromising ventilation.

This is new for us. We have designed boats with maximum light, and we have designed boats with excellent weather protection. This is our first attempt to offer both simultaneously.

The galley benefits from increased counter space and storage, while a dedicated aft deck wardrobe provides practical stowage for wet-weather gear. Additional roof space allows for more solar panels, extending time at anchor without generator use. 

Built for owner operation

The 495 Coupé is designed to be driven by its owner, with clear sightlines, assisted docking systems and safe side decks supporting confident single-handed operation. With an air draft under 3.5 metres and an optional shortened bathing platform, it is suited to inland waterways as well as open coastal cruising. 

Availability

The Nimbus 495 Coupé will be showcased digitally at boot Düsseldorf 2026, with a 495 Flybridge on display at the Nimbus stand. Deliveries are planned from 2027.
