Nimbus have an excellent reputation for solid build quality and the 310 Coupe is no exception to this. Add in her strong, safe sea keeping traits together with an excellent use of space on board, and you have a seriously capable and comfortable cabin cruiser.
'Why Knot' has been in her current ownership since 2022 and comes to the market in very good condition throughout. She has a great spec including bow-thruster, full Raymarine electronics suite and a vinyl wrap offering great hull protection.
The Shaft drive Single Yanmar Diesel engine offers an excellent balance of performance and economy for a boat of her size and has been very well maintained throughout it's life. Major service was carried out in September 2025 - details available on request - and she has covered 1,331 hours from new. New anti-fouling and anodes were added late 2025.
A full aft cockpit enclosure extends the living area on board when the weather is less favourable, but allows you to open up the cockpit for entertaining and relaxing in the Sun the rest of the time. The social space on board is very versatile and this is just another tick in the Nimbus 310's box as a terrific couples or family cruiser.
Lying afloat here at Swanwick Marina, she is available for viewing 7 days a week. Please call us on 01489 565444 - or Chris Atterton on 07702 542680 - for more information or to arrange a viewing.
