Nimbus T9: when versatility and performance change life at sea

Imagine a Saturday morning in Ajaccio. The sun rises over the gulf, the water is a deep blue. You cast off at 9 am, heading towards the Piana calanques. On board: four friends, a full refrigerator, and 46 available berths. The Nimbus T9 is not just a boat, it's a way of life.

Beyond sensations, what makes the difference are the feedback from sailors in Corsica, Sardinia, or the Provençal coasts. Families, couples, or water sports enthusiasts: this is why the Nimbus T9 stands out as theday cruiserReference in the Mediterranean.

Designed in Gothenburg, Sweden, this 9.35-meter day boat adapts to all situations: connection to a secondary residence, long-range tender, waterskiing in an isolated cove, or an impromptu overnight stay aboard thanks to its two comfortable accommodations.

This versatility is crucial in Corsica, where the weather changes quickly and each outing becomes an adventure.

• Verado V10 400 / Racing V8 450for adrenaline junkies

• V6 2 x 225in twin-engine configuration

The + comfort:The bow thruster is supplied as standard, an essential asset for maneuvering alone in a busy Corsican port in the height of August.
