2026 Nimbus 495 Flybridge

The Nimbus 495 Flybridge is a 49-foot fiberglass flybridge designed as an expedition cruiser. Twin Volvo diesel engines deliver 1,300 horsepower, providing the power and range needed for extended voyages. The design balances ease of handling for two-person operation with comfort for families or couples undertaking long passages, whether in the Nordic archipelago, Mediterranean, or Pacific Northwest waters.

The boat sleeps three cabins and is laid out for comfortable extended cruising. Fuel and freshwater tank capacity, along with waste system sizing, are dimensioned to support weeks-long voyages from natural anchorages without frequent resupply. The flybridge design and overall layout prioritize both seaworthiness and livability.

The 495 Flybridge accommodates extensive customization to meet individual owner requirements and preferences during build.
