The rollout covers three upgraded models: the Weekender 12, Tender 12, and Commuter 12.
Key Updates Across Three Established Ranges
The 12 series introduces a revised exterior style shaped around an extended swim platform with double-mold construction for a stronger link to the water. Stainless steel railings and a polished stainless Nimbus logo sit within new hull décor, giving the models a more distinct profile. These updates apply across the three established Nimbus lines: the Commuter 12 within the Nimbus Commuter range, the Tender 12 within the Nimbus Tender range, and the Weekender 12 within the Nimbus Day Cruiser range.
The helm environment has been fully reworked. New Nimbus-designed seats bring stronger lateral support and improved ergonomics for longer passages, aiming to reduce fatigue at the wheel. Updated wiper systems, expanded lighting, improved ventilation, and revised sound routing deliver a cleaner, more controlled onboard experience.
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."

The optional hydraulic swim platform for outboard models brings guests closer to the water and can also function as a passerelle. Updated aft deck seating includes side cushions that convert storage pockets into additional social areas.
A More Capable Nimbus Tender 12
An evolution of the Tender 11, the Nimbus Tender 12 receives the broadest update. A larger T-top, wider and longer than before, introduces integrated solar panels and acrylic see-through sections with sunblock. The starboard-side balcony expands the at-anchor footprint and opens the deck for easier movement.
For the first time, the T12 can carry twin Mercury V10 425 hp engines for stronger performance and a higher touring pace.
A More Open Nimbus Weekender 12
The Nimbus Weekender 12 introduces a new Targa version with a canopy shaped in the style of the Nimbus 32 Ballista. This brings a heritage detail into the model’s modern framework.
Developing on the Weekender 11 platform, a starboard-side balcony supports the new boat's focus on relaxed, social cruising and creates a stronger connection between cockpit and water.
A More Versatile Nimbus Commuter 12
The Nimbus Commuter 12 moves toward practical day-boat use. The aft deck now offers additional usable space due to a reworked sofa with a folding backrest.
Inside, the deck salon operates with a galley-up configuration and curtains to support year-round boating, whatever the weather. The design is a direct evolution of the Commuter 11.
Designed for Versatile Boating
Nimbus positions the 12 series for boaters who value Scandinavian design, everyday reliability, and time spent with family and friends on the water. “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 Göthberg.
Each model retains a clear purpose. The Commuter 12 works as a transport-focused platform with a layout that shifts between closed and open modes. The Weekender 12 encourages longer trips with increased storage and more flexible seating. The Tender 12 continues as the adaptable walk-around with a wide range of use cases.
