A dinette for lunch. A large U-sofa for an evening together. The two sofas fold and move on simple handles, and the table raises, lowers, rotates and folds, so one space does the work of several. Storage sits close to hand throughout, and panoramic windows give a near 360° view from inside.

New for the 42 series, the deck saloon gains a galley up at deck level, so cooking happens in the light with everyone around rather than tucked below. A convertible saloon sofa adds a berth when the day runs late, and blackout curtains close the space down for sleep or shade.

Open the side doors, slide back the aft door and the roof hatches, and the saloon becomes an open boat. Ceiling height and daylight do the rest.

The helm seats two in the snug Nimbus manner, with storage close by, and you can stand or sit to drive. The dashboard takes two 12-inch plotters. New custom Nimbus helm seats, shaped for lateral support, take the fatigue out of a long passage, and joystick steering is available.

Like the Sport Tender 42, the Sport Coupé 42 gives you a wide walk-around with generous deck space and passageways that let people move freely around the boat. It carries the award-winning walk-around of the Sport Cruiser 42 series: the wide sliding doors let two people pass in the doorway without crowding, and boarding, disembarking, loading and unloading are all straightforward.
