Nimbus T11 Review: Your Do-It-All Day Boat for The Fall & Beyond

Nimbus T11 Review: Your Do-It-All Day Boat for The Fall & Beyond

By HMY Contributor   October 21, 2024

With temperatures cooling comfortably and summer crowds long gone, autumn brings prime boating opportunities to Florida’s coastal waterways. If you’re seeking the right vessel for your fall boating adventures, HMY has a select inventory of Nimbus Tender (“T”) 11 models in stock that handsomely fit the bill. 

Here, we share a closer look at what makes the Nimbus T11 the best day boat for all-season boating now and well into the new year.

A Peek Inside the Nimbus T11 For Sale at HMY

Swedish boat maker Nimbus has long been celebrated for their Scandinavian design emphasizing function and flexibility, and the T11 without a doubt is one of the best examples of this world-class heritage, showcased in a perfect day boat design. At just over 40 feet, the T11 is the largest of the Tender family, affording an impressive amount of space for friends, family, gear, and toys. One of their many premium Scandinavian boats, the Nimbus T11 packs numerous distinctive features into a sleekly crafted space.

Versatile Lounge Space

At the heart of the T11 is a spacious, multifunctional lounge area. Outfitted with tables, awnings, and sofas with handles that can easily maneuver different seating arrangements, it’s simple to set up this area for whatever activities the day holds:

  • Entertaining
  • Dining
  • Swimming
  • Sunbathing
  • Cruising

It’s all a cinch with seating that can be rearranged to accommodate up to 12 people, with multiple configurations day boaters will appreciate. Equipped with a kitchen sink, two refrigerators, and room for a gas stove or grill, you’ll have all the culinary necessities for overnight trips, too.

Premium Storage Capacity

Significant storage space is a cornerstone of Scandinavian design, and Nimbus has rendered this concept masterfully in the T11. Amidst the aft deck, you’ll find a large storage space for your SUP, sea bob, inflatable, or other sea toys. Thanks to the hydraulic operation, you can also free up your hands while safely grabbing your gear. Keep extra essentials tucked away in the storage hatch at the front of the cabin, which doubles as a seating space with large gunwale sides.

A Purpose-Built Walk-Around

A walk-around design should always support full freedom of movement. And with extra deck space, the T11 has even wider passageways and a roomy feel across its aft deck, foredeck, and lounge. A sensible approach to the vessel’s design and furnishings ensures you can make your way to the bathing platform, cockpit, and foredeck and back without ever feeling cramped or compromised.

Escape from the Elements

When you need a break from the sun or wind, a well-crafted cockpit seats up to three and can be almost completely enclosed with side awnings. If you’re retreating below deck for an extended respite, two couples or a family of four can sleep in comfort, with a spacious bathroom that includes a toilet and shower.

Speed and Sophistication

While it’s clear that the T11 supports functionality first and foremost, it’s certainly not lacking in style. The sleek Mediterranean design lends itself to a classic look with elegant timeless appeal. Thoughtful construction also allows for smoother operation: the smaller beam-to-hull length ratio seen across the entire Nimbus WTC series (Weekender, Tender, and Commuter) offers greater efficiency on the water. Powered by dual Mercury Verado V8s, this particular model can achieve speeds upwards of 40 knots. The intuitive control features have garnered praise among boaters, especially the joystick which supports ease of navigation in tight spaces.
