Two Ways To Own
Place It In The Program
Put the boat in our PowerTime boutique management program. It is built to cover most to all of your running costs, while you keep priority access to your own boat. You own it. We keep it earning when you are not aboard. See the Founding Owner Offer →
Buy It Outright
Or, if you would rather just have it to yourself, buy it outright and run it all season. Your boat, your dock, your schedule, the whole summer.
How The Program Keeps It Earning
Place your T8 in the PowerTime program and a managed roster of members books it around your priority access. Every day splits into three reservable slots, kept fair by a simple monthly allowance so the calendar stays full and your boat stays earning.
Prime — Fri · Sat · Sun
The weekend crown jewels. Prime reservations are capped and Saturdays are protected, so demand stays high and the calendar stays full.
Non-Prime — Mon–Thu
Weekday cruising for members who want quiet water. It keeps the boat working through the week, not just the weekend.
You keep priority access to your own boat all season. Members fill the calendar around you, built to offset most to all of your running costs. See the full membership model →
The Nimbus T8, Answered
What does the Nimbus T8 cost?
Three select hulls are on offer, from $134,900 to $168,000, against a $210,000 MSRP. Each is a 2026 boat, never titled. Every hull can be bought outright or placed into the PowerTime management program to help offset the cost of ownership.
What makes the Nimbus T8 different from other boats this size?
It is a Swedish-built 26-foot sport cruiser on an air-stepped hull, powered by a single Mercury Verado V8 that runs past 40 knots. It has a real overnight cabin, an enclosed head with a door, a T-top with a full enclosure, and a bow thruster for easy docking. Only a handful exist in the country.
Can I place the boat in a management program instead of just owning it?
Yes. Place your T8 in the PowerTime boutique management program and a managed roster of members books it around your priority access. It is built to offset most to all of your running costs, while you keep first call on your own boat.
Do I have to buy a boat to get on the water?
No. If you would rather skip ownership entirely, you can join the club and share a boat for the season. If you want your own T8, buy it outright or place it in the program. Not sure which fits? That is what a quick call is for.
Where are the boats, and can I see one in person?
These hulls are not on our Charlestown dock yet. Call or book a time with Captain Paul and he will tell you exactly where each boat is, when it lands in Boston, and how to get aboard.
Are these new boats, and how soon can I have one?
Yes. All three are 2026 hulls, never titled. Because only a handful of T8s exist in the country, the selection is limited to the hulls you see on this page. Ask Captain Paul for current delivery timing on the hull you want.
