Nimbus Boats - “Made in Sweden: Feel the Difference”

In the late 1960s, the head of Volvo Penta, Harald Wiklund, tasked the famous boat designer, Pelle Petterson, with building a leisure boat. With the emergence of the luxury boat market, Wiklund wanted to create a new and exciting section for the company, as sales of Volvo motors were waning at the time. So, Volvo began to produce their own brand of motorboat and motor yacht. Before long, the first Nimbus boats – the Nimbus 26 – arrived on the market. A huge hit, the successful Nimbus 26 was named as “Boat of the Year”. With this success, Wiklund founded his own shipyard. Together with the extensive knowledge regarding the construction of leisure boats, the innovation that Nimbus boats showed gave Wiklund the opportunity to seriously establish Nimbus boats in the boat market.

Today, the Nimbus Group has merged with many older shipyards such as Paragon, Ryds and Storebro. Although Nimbus produces its boats in the Swedish city of Mariestad, the company has its headquarters in Langedrag, not far away from the Royal Swedish Yacht Club.
