2026 Nimbus 495 Flybridge

The Nimbus 495 Flybridge is a 49-foot cruiser built for extended voyaging and long-distance exploration. Powered by twin Volvo diesel engines producing 1,300 horsepower, the boat combines Nordic cruising heritage with expedition-ready capability. The fiberglass hull measures 14.75 feet across the beam and is designed to handle demanding conditions while remaining manageable for a small crew.

The accommodation plan includes three cabins and two heads, allowing comfortable living for couples, families, or small groups planning extended stays. Tank capacities are sized for long-distance cruising, with adequate fuel, fresh water, and waste management systems that support weeks of operation without needing shore facilities. The boat's layout and systems support comfortable extended cruising in varied climates from Nordic waters to Mediterranean and U.S. coastal regions.

The 495 Flybridge balances ease of handling with the strength and safety required for open-water voyaging. Its design reflects a philosophy of self-sufficiency—providing the independence to anchor in natural harbors and operate independently for extended periods. This is a boat conceived for owners with substantial cruising experience and specific voyaging goals, with significant scope for customization to individual requirements and preferences.
