The boat and its principal design
Nimbus's 305 Coupé offers a sheltered pilothouse and two cabins within 10.07 metres overall. Its hull is intended to remain comfortable across speeds from slow displacement cruising through the manufacturer's 22-knot top end.
This is an established or current model-profile article, not a newly reported launch, delivery or sale. It uses manufacturer information to describe a craft falling within Leisure Boat Guide's under-12-metre remit.
Life on board
The wide starboard side deck, flush side door and opening passenger window support movement around the boat. Below are an owner cabin and guest cabin sharing a head and shower.
A buyer should walk the actual deck and cabin to assess storage, seating, sightlines and safe passage while underway. Promotional photographs identify the model but cannot establish how a specific optioned boat works for a household.
Specifications and practical limits
The current sheet lists 3.25 metres of beam, 0.90 metres of draft, 250 litres of fuel and 150 litres of fresh water. Its eight-person Category B specification and individual engine options should be checked on the chosen build.
The published configuration may include options, and model-year details can change. Passenger limits, installed power and real loaded weight should be taken from the individual vessel's plate and official manual.
Selecting the right craft
An owner should start with the expected waters, berth or trailer, number of people and service arrangements. This helps distinguish a boat used for local afternoons from a craft prepared for longer trips or sport.
Independent inspection, suitable safety equipment and a planned sea trial remain relevant to a purchase. A claimed design speed is not a substitute for testing the actual vessel within safe conditions.
