After kick-starting 2026 with three Sport 42 models, the Swedish builder is now producing an all-new series of 35-footers, starting with the Sport Tender version.

Nimbus – whose dealers in Asia include Asiamarine – has started rolling out its series of Sport 35 models based on the same hull. The open Sport Tender 35 debuted at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival, the enclosed Sport Coupé 35 is set to debut at Boot Dusseldorf 2027, and the semi-enclosed Sport Weekender 35 is set to complete the offerings.

The 35 line follows the 42 models, which have an overall length of 40ft 7in (12.4m) and debuted at Boot Dusseldorf 2026 in three versions: Sport Tender (open), Sport Weekender (semi-enclosed), Sport Coupé (enclosed). In addition, a Targa arch version of the open Sport Tender 42 debuted at Cannes in September.

The 42 models are extended versions of the former 11 models, but the Sport Tender 35 introduces a completely new line for Nimbus. Weighing 4.5 tonnes, it has an overall length of 35ft 5in and features a 34ft 11in hull with a 10ft 6in beam. (The platform effectively provides the missing ‘10’ between Nimbus’s former 8, 9 and 11 lines, when metres were used for the naming system.)

In Mercury Marine’s sea trials, a Sport Tender 35 with twin 300hp Mercury Verado V8 outboard engines reached 48.5 knots, accelerated from 0 to 25 knots in 9.9 seconds, and ran at 32 knots on 2.5 litres/nm.

As standard, the yacht is fitted with a single 350hp Mercury V10, while upgrade options include a single 425hp Mercury V10. The tanks can carry up to 620 litres of fuel and 80 litres of fresh water, as well as 80 litres or black and grey water combined.

The yacht’s twin-stepped, air-lubricated hull is built with vacuum-infused Divinycell sandwich construction, and a single laminate structure from behind the helm to the roof. The T-top, integrated with the full-height windscreen, includes an acrylic sunroof as well as speakers in the optional sound system.

The cockpit includes an aft-facing sofa – with storage below – attached to a forward-facing C-shaped sofa that wraps around a high-low teak table, which can be covered with the central part of the three-part backrest to create a sunbed. The side rests can also be folded forward to create alternative seating and lounging arrangements.

Either side of the main sofa, the bulwarks fold out electrically operated to become balconies. Aft, the side lockers are covered in cushions to provide more seating, while options include a live bait tank to port.

Midships, the pilot seat to starboard and the companion seat are backed by wet bar modules, with a grill and storage to port and a sink and a 65-litre fridge to starboard, while both can be linked by a small table top. The helm is to starboard and includes a steering wheel with integrated buttons, and a choice of twin 12-inch displays or a single 16-inch.

When needed, the helm area and main C-sofa can all be enclosed with integrated canvas side canopies, while the aft and fore ends of the boat can be sheltered by overhead canopies extending from the T-top.

The foredeck includes a forward-facing lounging area with a low backrest, while the bow features wrap-around seating and optional backrests attached to the side rails. A high-low table can be lowered and covered by an in-fill to make this into a lounging area. Most of the boat’s cushioned areas include storage underneath, with an extra 70-litre fridge under the aft sofa among options.

By the helm, a port door leads to the interior, which includes a bathroom with shower to starboard, a double bed forward, two full-length berths in the mid-cabin and a sofa that could take a child.
