We chose the 3.3m with the bench and console kit. Super easy to launch from our flybridge yacht and feels sturdy out on the water. Excellent quality and rides smooth with the Yamaha F25.
The 3.9m model has been a dream tender. Tough hull, responsive handling, and comfortable even with 5 people aboard. The bow locker and console storage keep everything neat.
Went with the 3.6m and love how it handles. The console kit took a little extra effort to install correctly, but once it was in, the boat felt dialed in.
Really impressed with the 3.6m Nomad—easy to maneuver and built well. Only thing I’d change is adding a padded seat standard. Otherwise, fantastic boat for the price.
