Nimbus 380 Commander

38’’ Scandinavian Elegance & Marine Spirit

Built by Nimbus Boats AB, the 380 Commander embodies the Scandinavian philosophy of a well-thought-out, robust, and functional boat.
Coming from a renowned lineage (370/380 Commander), it stands out for its construction quality, versatility, and exemplary marine behavior.
Its timeless design, between a coupe and a compact flybridge, offers both the safety of a semi-displacement and the pleasure of navigation of a planing boat — a rare balance in this category.

Recognized Marine Behavior

Powered by two Volvo D4 engines of 260 hp, this model combines linear performance and efficiency.
Its semi-planing, wide, and balanced hull allows for comfortable navigation at all speeds, without bowing or sinking, even in rough seas.
Stable both underway and at anchor, it inspires confidence and serenity with its particularly marine behavior.
With a cruising speed of around 18 knots and a maximum speed of 25 knots, it offers an ideal program for coastal or offshore cruising.

Design & Onboard Life

Onboard, everything reflects Nimbus quality.
Two helms, one inside and one on the flybridge, allow for comfortable navigation in any season. The wide side decks, the teak deck and cockpit, the bathing platform, and the sunbathing areas invite relaxation and outdoor living.
Inside, the bright helm, spacious saloon, well-equipped kitchen, and two welcoming cabins with a bathroom create a layout designed for extended stays.
The atmosphere is sober, warm, and very well finished — true to the tradition of Nordic shipyards.
