Nimbus | 1983 O’Day Sun Fizz

Charleston, SC, US

About

"NImbus" is a meticulously maintained O'Day 39 designed by Phillip Briand and modeled after the Jeanneau Sun FIzz. This vessel is built to withstand heavy conditions while offering comfortable and spacious cabin layouts. Over the last 25 years, "NImbus" has sailed the Great Lakes, participating in multiple races to Mackinac.

The cruiser features three cabins and two heads, with a convertible salon table that can be turned into a fourth berth. A privacy door can create a primary berth at the bow. Over the past few years, "NImbus" has undergone significant upgrades to prepare for open-water cruising. These upgrades include a new autopilot, AGM batteries, B&G radar, and much more.

The new owners embarked on a journey from Lake Michigan to Charleston, SC, cruising along the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) and venturing offshore. Their adventure highlights the vessel's seaworthiness and readiness for extended voyages. "NImbus" is now turnkey ready for its next adventure, promising reliability and comfort for future owners.

    We take pride in our happy customers

    Sold my L42 here with the excellent help and support of TMCs Croatia sales manager “Zee”. Despite my boat docked on the dry in Montenegro, in winter and in a challenging market, TMC and Zee managed to get her sold, managing the entire process from taking pictures and video’s, putting her out there on the web, prepping her and managing all for inspections….down to the final hand-over documents and managing the escrow payments when all boxes were ticked! Very professional, very helpful (Zee went above and beyond to make sure he delivers excellent service), responsive and successful. Thanks TMC!

    Excellent experience dealing with TMC! Anyone buying a boat I would recommend going thru them. Chuck was super friendly and helpful, he went above and beyond helping us thru the process.

    We purchased our lagoon 410 through the multihull company, Andrew Hodgdon was the listing’s broker. From the start till the end of the process he was upfront honest and accommodating. Our situation was unique and required a bit more leg work. Andrew was always easy to get a hold of and willing to help. It was a pleasure working with a highly knowledgeable broker that values integrity. I highly recommend him.

    My experience with Andrew Hodgdon was entirely positive during the selling process of our used catamaran.
    He followed up at every stage, organized successful showings, and explained in detail the closing process.
    I am happy to give a 10 out of 10 review.

    — Jim Garner

    We purchased our Balance 442 through TMC, Andrew Hodgdon in the St Augustine office, and the experience was excellent. We had a couple last minute issues like incorrect hull ID on docs, and they quickly ran point to get this all taken care of to help us close on time. It was all especially impressive given that most of this was happening during the end of year holidays. Good team, good follow up. Recommended.
