New & Used Nimbus Boats for Sale
Modern Yachts is an authorized Nimbus dealer for New York and Long Island — one of a select number of U.S. dealers carrying a brand that has been building boats in Sweden since 1968. With full-service marina locations in Hampton Bays, Westhampton Beach, and Mattituck, we’re the East End’s home for Nimbus ownership, service, and support.
Nimbus boats are genuinely different from anything else you’ll find in our market. Every model is built around four core principles that have defined the brand for over 55 years: safety, comfort, Scandinavian design, and quality. The result is a lineup of boats that are immediately recognizable on the water — clean, purposeful lines, exceptional build quality, and a level of thoughtful functionality that reflects decades of Scandinavian engineering tradition. The signature “sidewalk deck” design provides unusually safe and easy movement around the boat, wide coaming rails protect passengers at speed, and Smart Speed hull technology delivers a fuel-efficient, stable ride across a wide range of conditions. These are boats built to be used year-round, not just in fair-weather summer months.
The Nimbus lineup spans the T8 dayboat all the way up to the flagship T11 and W11 — covering everything from spirited day trips on the Peconic to extended weekend cruising along the Connecticut coast or beyond. If you’ve never seen a Nimbus in person, the best thing we can tell you is to come to one of our locations and spend some time on one. They have a way of converting people very quickly.
Featured Nimbus Models
40’8″ LOA | 11’4″ Beam | 224-gal fuel | Twin Mercury Verado 300hp | Optional 4-piece cockpit cover
At the top of the Nimbus performance lineup sits the T11 — a 41-foot open tender with a twin-stepped hull, twin Mercury Verados, and a design that combines genuine performance with the practical Nimbus DNA: deep side decks, huge cleats, oversized storage, and weather protection built in. The 4-piece cockpit cover set and optional T-top make it remarkably versatile for a performance boat. Equally at home blasting across the Sound at speed or arriving elegantly at a Sag Harbor dock for dinner. (More Info)
40’8″ LOA | 11’4″ Beam | Up to 40 knots | Sleeps 4 | Full galley and head | Year-round use
The C11 Commuter is the enclosed-cabin counterpart to the T11 — built for buyers who want all-weather, year-round capability without sacrificing style or speed. A fully enclosed cockpit with panoramic glazing, two private cabins sleeping four, a full galley, and a wet head make it as capable for a November run to Connecticut as a July afternoon on the Sound. Yacht Digest called it “amazing, just amazing.” Available with outboard or inboard power. One of the most unique boats available in the New York market — talk to our Hampton Bays team for current availability. (More Info)
40’8″ LOA | 11’4″ Beam | Twin Mercury Verado 300hp | Optional gyro stabilizer | Sleeps 4
The W11 is Nimbus’s flagship weekender — an evolution of the W9 built with significantly more space, more features, and more capability for extended adventures. A spacious aft lounge with adjustable seating, multiple sunbeds fore and aft, outdoor galley with induction cooktop, two generous staterooms sleeping four, and an optional gyro stabilizer for open-water comfort. The W11 has been reviewed at $670,000–$795,000 in the current market — a boat that competes with full-size express cruisers at a fraction of their footprint and running cost. Talk to our team about current availability and build options. (More Info)
29’6″ LOA | Mercury Verado V10 350hp | Smart Speed hull | Overnight cabin
The W9 is Nimbus’s vision of the perfect modern weekender — a boat that handles everyday day trips with ease and extends comfortably into overnight adventures. The cockpit offers excellent weather protection, the forward cabin sleeps two adults, and the optional electric canvas roof system and Zipwake dynamic trim control make it genuinely enjoyable in a wide range of conditions. On Long Island’s East End, where the weather can change quickly and the season stretches into October, the W9’s all-conditions versatility is a genuine advantage. (More Info)
26′ LOA | Single Mercury outboard up to 300hp | Standard bow thruster | Eco Teak decking
Boating Magazine tested the T8 and said it deserved to be on their cover — and after spending time on one, it’s easy to understand why. This 26-foot Swedish-designed, US-built walkaround dayboat packs an extraordinary amount of thoughtfulness into a manageable platform. Standard bow thruster, dual anchor windlasses (bow and stern for bow-in anchoring), Eco Teak non-slip decking throughout, and a convertible foredeck sunpad make it as practical as it is beautiful. A single Mercury Verado 300 pushes it past 50 mph. One of the most impressive 26-footers on the market today. (More Info)
Nimbus Boats on Long Island & in the Hamptons
Nimbus was designed for Scandinavian waters — cold, changeable, and demanding. That same engineering translates directly to Long Island’s East End, where conditions can shift from flat calm to a steep 3-foot chop between morning and afternoon, and where the boating season runs well into fall for anyone with the right boat.
Day boating and water sports: The T8’s compact footprint, bow thruster, and dual anchor windlasses make it exceptionally practical for the East End’s mix of tight marina spaces, bay anchorages, and quick offshore runs. The Eco Teak decking and well-designed walkways are noticeably safer underway than conventional boats — something you appreciate immediately on a choppier day.
Weekend cruising: The W9 and W11 are built for exactly the kind of cruising the East End enables. Shelter Island, the North Fork wineries, Block Island, Montauk, and the Connecticut shore are all within comfortable range. The W11’s gyro stabilizer option and twin-engine reliability make longer passages genuinely relaxed rather than endurance events.
Year-round boating: The C11’s fully enclosed cockpit and all-weather hull design make it one of the few boats in its class that you’d genuinely want to use in November. Long Island’s extended fall season — striped bass through October, mild weekends into November — rewards owners who have a boat that can handle it.
Standing out: Nimbus ownership on the East End is still relatively rare, which means your boat will stand out at every marina, every fuel dock, and every anchorage. People who know boats recognize Nimbus immediately. People who don’t will ask about it at every stop. That’s not a minor thing — it’s part of the ownership experience.

FAQ’S
Nimbus has been building boats in Sweden since 1968 around four core values: safety, comfort, Scandinavian design, and quality. Their Smart Speed hull technology delivers exceptional fuel efficiency and stability across a wide speed range, while the signature “sidewalk deck” design makes movement around the boat noticeably safer than conventional layouts. Every Nimbus is built to be used year-round, not just in summer — which makes them particularly well-suited to Long Island’s extended boating season.
Nimbus has a devoted following among serious boaters in the U.S., particularly in the Northeast where their all-conditions capability is most appreciated. They’re a premium brand with intentionally limited distribution — you won’t see them at every dealership — which means Nimbus ownership on Long Island is still relatively exclusive. Modern Yachts is one of a select number of authorized U.S. Nimbus dealers.
The “T” (Tender) series — the T8 and T11 — are Nimbus’s performance-oriented open boats, optimized for speed and day use with maximum versatility. The “W” (Weekender) series — the W9 and W11 — are designed for weekend cruising with overnight capability, social deck layouts, and comfortable cabin accommodations. The “C” (Commuter) series — the C11 — are fully enclosed all-weather cruisers built for year-round use in challenging conditions. Our team can walk you through the full lineup in person at any of our three locations.
Yes — we carry new Nimbus models and can also source quality pre-owned examples. Our team can help arrange a custom factory order if you’re looking for a specific configuration, or check current inventory for models available now.
Absolutely — in many ways they’re ideal for it. Nimbus’s Smart Speed hulls handle the short, choppy conditions of Long Island’s bays and inlets exceptionally well, and their enclosed and semi-enclosed models extend the practical boating season well into fall. Models like the W9, W11, and C11 are particularly well-suited for Peconic Bay cruising, Sound passages, and runs to Montauk, Block Island, and the Connecticut shore.
Yes. Nimbus offers an extensive options list covering hull colors, Mercury engine configurations, interior packages, electronics suites (Simrad is standard), stabilization systems, canvas and cover options, and more. Our team guides you through the full build process. Build timelines vary — contact us early if you’re planning for a specific delivery season.
Modern Yachts provides complete Nimbus ownership support from all three East End locations — certified mechanical service, seasonal commissioning and winterization, dockage, long-term storage, and detailing. We also handle warranty support, financing, and trade-in evaluations. Our goal is to be your single point of contact for everything related to your Nimbus.
