Overview
The Nimbus W12 Weekender 12 presents a series of design updates focused on exterior lines, deck ergonomics and aft integration. Key changes include a revised hull decor with the Nimbus logo in polished chrome, redesigned helm seating and an extended aft/swim platform for improved access to the water and enhanced social use of the aft area.

What's new?

• Striking new exterior design with updated hull décor featuring the Nimbus logo in polished chrome.
• Extended swim platform with double-mould construction for structural integration with the hull and a closer connection to the water.
• 40 mm stainless-steel railing and refreshed hull décor for a distinctive profile.
• Redesigned custom Nimbus helm seats with improved ergonomics and lateral support for long passages.
• Extended aft platform and revised aft-deck seating with side cushions to create additional seating and social areas.

Refinements across all models
Beyond visible updates, the W12 range benefits from improvements in ventilation, lighting, sound routing and serviceability. Mercury Joystick Piloting is available with joystick control and integrated bow thruster for Mercury outboards. Volvo Penta inboards are offered on selected models with an optional assisted docking package. An optional hydraulic swim platform for outboards provides closer water access and can function as a passerelle when moored. New windscreen wiper systems and updated illumination improve visibility and on-board ambiance across the series.

Enhanced social spaces
The W12 introduces a Targa (canopy) version inspired by the Nimbus 32 Ballista and a starboard-side balcony to increase openness and flow for relaxation and entertaining. The new aft-deck seating and side cushions convert storage areas into comfortable social spaces, optimizing the boat for day use and guest interaction.
