Nimbus Group AB (publ) today reveals the first images of the all-new Sport Tender 35, the signature first model in its new Sport Cruiser 35 series. The 35-foot dayboat makes its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2026.
The Sport Tender 35 is an all-new boat on a newly developed, twin-stepped hull. The new Sport Cruiser 35 series comprises three models on a single hull: the Sport Tender, the Sport Weekender and the Sport Coupé. The Sport Tender 35 is the first.
The Sport Tender 35 is a dayboat designed around everyone on board rather than just the person at the wheel. It is the clearest expression yet of the Scandinavian design philosophy Nimbus has followed since 1968, what the company calls Crafted for Living, a boat measured by the life lived on it and around it.
The boat has two multifunctional decks that reconfigure through the day depending on activity, from a morning swim and lunch at anchor to evenings with friends on board. The fore deck combines secure footing for boarding and handling ropes with two broad sun lounges and seating for eight people. The aft deck centres on a U-sofa for six people with a three-part backrest that folds between sofa, sun bed and facing seats. Fold-out hull-side balconies bring guests down to the water at anchor. A split galley keeps the centre of the boat open for maximum freedom of movement when the canopy is up.
At 10.80 metres with a 3.20-metre beam, the 35 sleeps five across two cabins, with a full-length doublebed forward, two berths in the mid-cabin and a sofa berth, plus a lavatory with shower. An optional bulkhead and wardrobe close off the fore cabin. It is a boat you can live on, for a weekend or longer.
"The successful Nimbus 495 Flybridge shows the future trajectory for Nimbus Coupé Cruisers. In the same way the all-new Sport Tender 35 sets the future direction for our Sport Cruisers, and it's the first model in a Sport Cruiser 35 series. The 35 is something genuinely new to the market, a Sport Cruiser with the comfort of a Coupé. The boat is more Nimbus than ever and built on the DNA which has been running through the brand since 1968. I am very proud to bring this boat to the market" - Johan Inden, CEO of Nimbus Group
The 35 is offered with a single Mercury V10 or twin V8 outboards. Indicative cruising speed is 30 to 36 knots, rising well above 40 knots with the twin V8. Verified performance figures will follow once sea trials are completed.
