Register with Boatshed to see 63 extra photos of this Nimbus 27 Familia .Boatshed Wales are delighted to offer for sale this fine example of the Nimbus 27 Familia "Octara" is an exceptional example of Scandinavian craftsmanship in the semi-displacement cruising motor yacht category. The Familia 27 model is renowned for its versatility, offering a perfect balance of compact handling and spacious comfort, making it an ideal all-rounder for long-range cruising, or shorter local trips and nights aboard. At 27 feet, "Octara" is easily manageable yet impressively roomy, standing out from other vessels in her class. The central helm, seating area, galley, and large table can be fully enclosed for protection from the elements. On my visit, with clear skies and sunshine, the roof sections slid back easily and the cockpit tent was lowered, creating one of the most enjoyable spaces Ive experienced aboard a vessel of this type. The 150hp VOLVO TAMD31P delivers performance and efficiency, giving cruising speeds of 16 knots, with the ability to achieve speeds in excess of 20 knots. Over the years, we have encountered several Familia 27 models, "Octara" stands out, as one the cleanest and best-presented examples weve seen, a testament to the care and attention she has received from her current owner. The owner, a seasoned boater with expertise as a professional delivery skipper and marine engineer, has brought a broad skillset to the upkeep of "Octara" , ensuring she has been maintained to an exceptionally high standard over the years. This level of care is reflected in the recent upgrades and meticulous service history, including a full engine service less then 15 running hours ago, alongside the installation of new hybrid batteries the same year. Key recent enhancements include a new (2022) Quick anchor winch with remote, a new Bruce 7.5K anchor with over 100 metres of chain and two fully refurbished windscreen wiper and motor units. Additionally, a new exterior hood/cover was installed in September 2023, featuring a new stainless frame, internal covers, and external screen and roof covers, further enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Octara offers 5-berth accommodation, making her ideal for extended cruising. The layout includes a spacious wheelhouse that comfortably seats 4-5 at the dining table, along with a cozy fore cabin and heads with electric flush toilet and hot shower. The aft cabin is fitted with a large fixed double bed, complete with a sunbed above, while the galley is designed for efficiency and ease of use. Her interior is bright and well-ventilated, with two large opening roof sections and side windows in the wheelhouse, creating a light and airy atmosphere throughout. For a vessel of her size, "Octara" surpasses expectations in terms of space, comfort, and functionality, making her an outstanding choice for discerning cruisers- not one to miss! "Octara" is currently afloat, where she can be accessed easily for on-water inspection. We welcome all enquiries and viewing requests. These boat details are subject to contract.

She is twin diesel on shaft driven by Volvo Penta TAMD 30 marine diesels. She is a tidy example in need of a clean here and there, and has just been taken ashore as the owner has bought a Broads cruiser in the last month. The boat has a current Boat Safety Certificate to April 2026 and her Broads toll is paid to March 2025. She has a bow thruster and radar, plotter and fish finder and auto pilot. Her aft cockpit canopy does need two zips replacing and as is common for boats of this age. There are a couple of sagging interior vinyl panels but these are not overly noticeable. Her upholstery is all pretty good and she has a lot to offer the river or coastal cruiser as they are great handling boats that offer huge space and accommodation. with the addition of cabin heating and shore power so she should be a cosy home from home. The elevated flybridge has its own helm station so you can drive inside or outside as you prefer on the day. There is also a large storage lazarette in the cockpit that is just huge! Presented in original gelcoat and with an extended bathing platform with safety rails she is a lot of boat! These boat details are subject to contract.

This Apollo 32 is quite a rare boat in the UK, and this one is a nicely presented example.

She has very spacious accommodation and separate rear twin cabin and a large cockpit with a new canopy fitted in 2023. The saloon layout has a long seating area to starboard which can convert to a double but there are no infill cushions for this so these would need to be made. She has a good sized galley and heads opposite to port. Forward is a large vee sofa that also converts to a double berth and can be curtained off for privacy. The boat is powered by two Perkins 4236 diesels on shafts and they appear to start and run as they should. She is presented in original Gelcoat and has a valid Boat Safety Certificate to May 2027 and her Broads toll is paid to march 2025. She was last serviced in March 2022 and has done just 30 hours since. She also recently had a full fuel system clean and fuel filters in August this year.
