2026 Nimbus Tender 8

The 2026 Nimbus Tender 8 is a 26-foot fiberglass cruiser built around a wide walk-around deck layout that prioritizes passenger movement and ease of boarding. Powered by a single 200 hp Mercury diesel engine, it cruises at 34.76 knots and is designed as a social platform as much as a functional boat.

The open cockpit features a clean design with space for a 9" or 12" plotter. Reversible helm seats and a retractable table convert the area into a five-person dining zone. The aft sofa seats six—three facing forward, three aft—with a three-position backrest that transforms from upright seating to an angled lounge to a full sunbed. Forward, a sunbed on the foredeck accommodates four. A large hatch on the foredeck provides cabin access and cargo loading.

Below deck are two cabins: a two-person berth with LED lighting, ventilation, and storage, plus a separate head with sink. A galley uses a retractable gas burner, with an optional wet bar and wash basin available on the port side. Storage includes a retractable refrigerator under the aft sofa, two side compartments on the aft deck, and ample stowage throughout. The aft deck includes a shower outlet.

The T8 offers three canopy options: a harbor cover, helm canopy, or T-Top design that extends over the entire aft deck.
