The all-year cabin boat

Nimbus Sport Coupé 42

Versatile cruising in every season

The Nimbus Sport Coupé 42 brings a new level of versatility to Nimbus’ signature Scandinavian design, combining exhilarating performance with the comfort and protection of a true all-weather cabin boat. Built for everything from fast day trips and coastal commuting to extended weekends on the water, the Sport Coupé 42 can transform effortlessly with the conditions. Open the expansive side doors, aft door and twin roof hatches to fill the saloon with fresh air and sunlight, or close everything up for a warm, protected environment when the weather turns.

Inside, the bright panoramic saloon is designed to adapt throughout the day, with flexible seating that converts from forward-facing passenger seating to a comfortable dinette or spacious U-shaped lounge. A deck-level galley keeps food preparation at the center of the social space, while two private cabins below provide accommodations for four. Wide walk-around side decks, generous outdoor gathering areas and a redesigned aft deck make moving around the boat easy, while Nimbus’ air-lubricated twin-stepped hull delivers confident handling and impressive performance at cruising speeds from 20 to 40 knots, with speeds exceeding 45 knots available.
