Aquador

Aquador is a Finnish boat builder known for cabin cruisers and hardtop motorboats. The brand began in the 1990s and is now part of the Nimbus Group, with production in Finland and a later flagship range built under the wider Nimbus organization. Aquador models include compact cruisers and weekend boats such as the 22, 23 WA, 28, 300 HT, and 400 HT.

Aquador was founded in Finland in 1995, with its early history tied to entrepreneur Sakari Mattila. The brand’s first Aquador 22 was designed in 1993 and production started in Kuopio in 1994. Aquador later became part of the Nimbus Group, while its marketing and dealer network expanded beyond Finland into other European markets and the United States. The builder describes its boats as Finnish-made and produced with a mix of CAD/CNC methods, advanced composites, and traditional craftsmanship.

Aquador builds cabin cruisers and semi-enclosed boats, with a range that has included hardtop and walkaround models. Current and recent models referenced publicly include the 250 HT, 300 HT, and 400 HT, while older boats such as the 22 and 23 WA remain part of the brand’s known catalog. Aquador boats are generally positioned as compact family cruisers for day trips and weekend use, with layouts emphasizing sheltered helms, practical cockpit space, and efficient use of onboard volume.
