What amazes me, considering how small the market is and how few they will sell, is the number of different manufacturers making these almost identical day-play boats, with none of them offering any clever "wow" innovations to distinguish themselves from the rest.
As ever Hugo, a very well executed review. Thank you. I agree with you on the ergonomics, and overall design. I wish my boat had a system to conceal the canvases. If you look again, the galley looks a bit like an AGA with that chrome rail. I thought the joystick could be better placed, it looks an afterthought there. Love the way Nimbus are going. Cheers Andrew
600K Euro base is just nuts for a dayboat. I’m failing to understand who is continuing to buy new boats at the prices today. You could have a nice ‘16-18 Searay 540 for the price of this with options. I predict we see a massive implosion of builders as the economy softens:
Someone not watching RUclips videos and asking stupid questions? Maybe for affluent people , value is not what drives their decisions.maybe that’s the point of wealth……have what you want without worry about value etc….my opinion anyway.
@@slapshot1343yeah I guess what I’m saying is my family income is close to $850k/ year and I would not be comfortable spending this much on a boat like this so I’m starting to scratch my head how many people could be in the market. Additionally, boats like the C11 were around $450-525k two years ago. I understand inflation has been high but this is nuts.
I dont know much about boats but this price seems ridiculous to me.😀 Saxdor 320 is 1/4 of this price... can someone explain to me why would anyone pay x4 for this? I am honestly asking. I understand it is a bit bigger and better quality, but x4??😮
Nimbus have been doing things right for quite a long time. Their boats are really orientated to their home market area or the med. A boat like that would be sitting about in the British or Irish climate waiting for a warm day to drive about with all the screens down. I dont think you mentioned any form of cabin heater 😄. That said they are fine quality boats and always attractive. A question which has been going through my mind, not just related to Nimbus , but to all the boats using petrol outboards. The E10 'GREEN' petrol we have had foisted on us for our cars is presumably the same for marine applications; how well is it storing on boats.? It has quite a short potent life compared even to unleaded and it absorbs moisture. Ethanol 10%; 90% petrol I was reliably informed and its the ethanol which likes the moisture.
It’s fine when you’re using it regularly but try to leave it relatively empty at the end of the season then fill up before using again or use E5 super unleaded for the final few fills of the season

The Cozy Cabin is a nice touch. Like the hideaway covers too. Very Marex of them. Lol.

Thanks Andrew, great feedback
Professional display of a nice boat. Perfect.
🙏
That is a very nice yacht for a day/weekend, everything you need for a fun day on the water. Great tour Hugo thank you.
My pleasure!
Always wanted stripper pole in my day boat.😂
It's a very nice boat, but the question is, why wouldn't you just go for a Princess V40 instead?

I’ll tell you who buys these boats. People who don’t have to worry about cost.

The zipper tracks are so ugly. On a 600k boat i expect it to have it hidden or a smarter solution.
They must love Marex over at Nimbus 😂😂

A gyro stabiliser on a day boat! Call me old fashioned...........
No way that Quick X7 does anything to stabilize that 40 footer.
Needs a X13
How many gadgets gidgets , widgets , and WORTHLESS accessories can they put on a small boat ? This is getting ridiculous, too much to go wrong !
