Overview
Nimbus Boats presents the Nimbus 495 Coupé, an owner-operated cruiser optimised for extended life aboard and long-distance cruising. Built on the proven 495 platform and sharing the award-winning hull with the 495 Flybridge, the 495 Coupé delivers an enclosed, functional layout that balances natural light, weather protection and practical onboard storage.

Key features

• Owner-operated cruiser designed for extended life aboard and long-distance cruising
• Built on the proven 495 platform; shares hull with the 495 Flybridge
• Enclosed Coupé layout: protected when required, open when conditions allow
• Significantly larger glass sunroof than the flybridge variant to increase saloon light
• Electric external awning above the roof glass for heat and glare control while permitting ventilation
• More capable galley: reclaimed space (no flybridge stairs) provides greater counter area, storage and a two-person working layout
• Optional mahogany interior with new oak sole and coordinated upholstery for a warmer, traditional Coupé atmosphere
• Dedicated aft-deck wardrobe for outerwear and wet gear; stores wet items separate from living and sleeping spaces
• Extended self-sufficiency: capacity to add solar panels on the roof to extend anchor time without generator use
• Practical recessed roof storage (from foldable mast housing) for life rafts, SUPs, inflatable dinghies and equipment
• Design aimed at balancing maximum natural light with effective weather protection

Design & usability notes
The Coupé reclaims and reorganises deck and internal volume compared with the flybridge variant. Removing the flybridge improves internal distribution, increases galley functionality, enlarges the sunroof and provides dedicated wet storage and practical roof stowage. The layout prioritises owner handling, comfort for extended stays aboard and real-world coastal conditions.
