2026 Nimbus 495 Flybridge

The Nimbus 495 Flybridge is a 49-foot fiberglass cruiser built for extended voyaging and exploration. Powered by twin Volvo diesel engines producing 1,300 horsepower, the boat combines capable offshore performance with the comfort needed for weeks at sea. The design prioritizes self-sufficiency with generous tank capacities for fuel, water, and waste, allowing extended time away from shore support.

The layout accommodates three cabins, providing comfortable berths for a couple, family, or cruising partners. The flybridge configuration offers excellent visibility and control for all conditions, from demanding northern waters to extended blue-water passages.

The 495 is engineered to handle equally well whether navigated by two experienced operators in challenging Nordic archipelagos or cruised by a family exploring distant coastlines. The design philosophy treats the boat as a self-contained platform capable of safe, comfortable independent operation for extended periods, with particular attention to reliability and ease of handling across varied sea states and environments.
