Overview
Nimbus C12 is a 12 Series cabin motorboat updated with a redesigned exterior, new ergonomic helm seats and an extended aft swim platform. The model is designed for day-boat operation with comfortable overnight capability for up to 4 berths.

What's new?
Key updates for the C12 include a striking new exterior with chromed Nimbus logo and stainless-steel railing, an extended double-mould swim platform that integrates structurally with the hull, and fully redesigned helm seats for improved lateral support and long-ride comfort.

Refinements across all models
The 12 Series also benefits from upgrades to ventilation, illumination and sound routing, improved serviceability and an optional hydraulic swim platform for outboard engines. New windscreen wipers, updated lighting and enlarged aft seating configurations increase functionality and onboard comfort.

Propulsion and maneuvering
Mercury Joystick Piloting is available with Mercury outboards for intuitive control; Volvo Penta inboards are offered for assisted docking with an optional joystick package. Engine options include both high-power outboard and inboard alternatives to meet different performance and installation requirements.

Refined day-boat functionality
The redesigned aft deck and deck saloon increase usable space. The deck saloon features a galley-up layout, a convertible saloon sofa and blackout curtains for improved all-weather usability. A folding backrest on the aft sofa expands seating configurations and converts storage space into social seating.
