Sport Tender 35
A good day on the water is rarely about the person at the wheel. It is about everyone who came along, the children, the friends, the one pouring coffee while someone else drops the anchor or takes a dip. The new Nimbus Sport Tender 35 was designed around that day, and everything else followed.
Today Nimbus reveals the first images of the Sport Tender 35, the signature first model of the new Sport Cruiser 35 series. It is the clearest expression yet of the Scandinavian design philosophy that has guided Nimbus since 1968. Design where every choice answers to the people onboard and the life they live there.
The Sport Tender 35 sets the future direction for the Nimbus Sport Cruisers, just as the award-winning 495 Flybridge does for the Coupé Cruisers. It is an all-new boat on a newly developed, air-lubricated twin-stepped hull.
The new Sport Cruiser 35 series comprises three models on a single hull: the Sport Tender, the Sport Weekender and the Sport Coupé. The Sport Tender 35 is the first.
This is what Nimbus means by Crafted for Living. A boat is measured by the life that happens onboard and around it, the mornings, the long lunches, the swim before the wind picks up, the evening when nobody wants to go in. The 35 is built to give that life room and make those days a reality.
It Starts with Imagining the Perfect Day
Every Nimbus begins the same way. Before the hand sketches, before the hull line is drawn, the designers ask one question. How does a day onboard actually look and feel, from the moment you wake to the moment you turn for home.
Picture it. You load up the boat, top up the refrigerator, gather the family or a few friends, and head out to a sheltered bay or an island.
If the wind picks up or the rain comes in on the way, you sit warm and sheltered thanks to the integrated canvas side canopies, with room to move inside and around the boat.
You settle into a U-sofa with a backrest that holds you comfortably, and you can stand safely in the middle of the boat, where you might want to be if the waves pick up.
When you arrive, the canvas folds away in seconds, the sun beds open fore and aft, the hull sides fold out into balconies down to the water, and the galley is a step away when someone wants a coffee or a cool drink. The way home is just as simple.
The day just feels easy, and that ease is the hardest thing of all to design.
