Nimbus has taken everything owners loved about the Nimbus T11, after carefully to customer feedback, and created something even more refined. Introducing the all-new Nimbus ST42 Sport Tender.
Recently, HMY Yacht Sales Professional and Nimbus Product Specialist Elvis Sipe took viewers on a walkthrough of this exciting new model, highlighting the thoughtful design updates, enhanced functionality, and innovative features that make the ST42 a standout in today's luxury day boat market.
Built on a Proven Foundation
The Nimbus 42 Sport Tender was developed using the proven platform of Nimbus' successful T-series models while incorporating numerous owner-requested enhancements and refinements.
The result is a boat that feels familiar to longtime Nimbus enthusiasts while delivering an entirely new level of comfort, functionality, and versatility.
Every detail has been carefully considered to create a seamless experience whether you're entertaining friends, enjoying a weekend getaway, or island hopping throughout South Florida and the Bahamas.
Enhanced Water Access
One of the first features you'll notice aboard the 42 ST is its expansive swim platform, designed to maximize enjoyment on the water.
The generous platform makes it easy to launch water toys, board from a floating dock, or relax at the sandbar. For larger yacht owners, it also serves as a convenient boarding platform when using the Nimbus 42 ST as a tender vessel.
Another standout feature is the new hydraulic side dive door. Located along the port side, the dive door dramatically improves access to and from the water, making sandbar days, swimming, and dockside boarding easier than ever.
It's one of those features that quickly becomes indispensable once you've experienced it firsthand.
An Entertainer's Dream
At the heart of the Nimbus 42 Sport Tender is a spacious social cockpit that builds upon the popular layout found aboard the Nimbus T11.
Guests will appreciate the flexible seating arrangements, large teak table, and thoughtfully designed summer kitchen.
The outdoor galley includes:
Wet bar
Food preparation space
Multiple refrigeration and cooling stations
Ample storage for entertaining essentials
Whether hosting a sunset cruise or spending the day anchored with family and friends, the 42 ST is designed to keep everyone comfortable and connected.
A Redesigned Helm
Nimbus has made significant improvements at the helm station, creating a cleaner, more ergonomic driving experience.
Updated helm seats feature larger bolsters and improved support, enhancing comfort during long days on the water.
Above, the innovative moon-phase acrylic hardtop integrates solar technology while allowing natural light to fill the helm area without introducing excessive heat.
Technology integration has also been streamlined. Vessel monitoring, Zipwake controls, and CZone systems have been consolidated for a cleaner dashboard layout and easier access to critical information, including tank monitoring and onboard systems management.
The result is a helm that feels modern, intuitive, and remarkably uncluttered.
Comfortable Overnight Accommodations
While the Nimbus 42 Sport Tender excels as a day boat, its accommodations make extended weekends aboard equally appealing.
Below deck, owners and guests will find:
A forward master V-berth with privacy curtain
Hanging locker and wardrobe storage
Fully enclosed head with separate shower
Private aft stateroom
Additional refrigeration and storage
The interior strikes a balance between Scandinavian simplicity and practical comfort, creating a welcoming space for overnight stays.
A Refined Bow Experience
The bow area has received several notable upgrades that improve both comfort and safety.
Articulating backrests allow guests to customize seating positions, while larger handrails provide increased security when moving around the foredeck.
Additional features include:
Forward-facing seating for two
Convertible table arrangement
Integrated sunshade system
Spacious lounging areas
It's an ideal space for relaxing at anchor, enjoying a sunset cruise, or taking in the view while underway.
The Future of the Luxury Day Boat
The Nimbus 42 Sport Tender represents the next evolution of one of the industry's most successful premium day boat platforms.
By combining owner feedback, Scandinavian craftsmanship, innovative technology, and practical design, Nimbus has created a vessel that delivers exceptional versatility without compromising style or comfort.
For boaters seeking a premium outboard-powered platform capable of entertaining, cruising, and overnight adventures, the Nimbus 42 Sport Tender deserves serious consideration.
