When In Donsö: Exploring Sweden’s Gothenburg archipelago aboard the Nimbus 495 Flybridge
“At sea, with eight of us onboard, the 495 never felt crowded. With our crew split between the pilothouse and cockpit, there was room for more people on the flybridge and foredeck. The sun was shining, so the skipper opened the electric roof above the helm. That, plus the side windows, open rear glass and wide sliding door next to the helm station (another Nimbus mainstay), made the pilothouse open and airy.
We hopscotched amid the hundred or so tiny, granite islands, and I took the co-pilot’s position. The L-shape seating here is part bench that faces forward, part comfortable settee that faces aft. Gustavsson calls this the “passenger sofa” for good reason. With the Midsummer holiday tourists not yet crowding the waters, we had our run of the place, so I settled in to enjoy the view. The experience was eminently relaxing.”
